		If, as is quite possible, in the contest for London Mayor there are four significant candidates (Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and a strong independent candidate) then voters must guess with their second preference vote which two candidates will be in the top two after the first round.
		Schedule 2 of the bill would allow the Secretary of State to set a threshold of no greater than 5%, this would mean that for a party to be entitled to list seats it would have to gain the prescribed percentage.
		A 5% threshold in London is more likely to prevent a party such as the Greens from making a breakthrough than parties such as the BNP, who are extremely unlikely to gain around the 3% needed to have a chance of winning a seat.

		This current organisation to some extent replaces the Greater London Council (1965-1986), which was abolished by Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher on grounds of alleged inefficiency, but also because elected Labour Party members were commonly in the majority, and in particular because of Livingstone's then radical populist policies and spending on social programmes.

		It has been suggested by the Evening Standard that even thought they asked the GLA press office for my response the GLA press office releasing this statement was a misuse of GLA resources.
		What you're making quite clear to the assembly is that this isn't one of those incidents where there's scope for confusion or misunderstanding.
		To put this into perspective, when we first had the press office phone to say that I think it was they'd had an inquiry that there had been a fracas at a party which I think is the term they used, I assumed there wasn't any great problem with this.

		Meanwhile a no vote would be a blow to the government's delayed plans for similar referendums in Yorkshire and the north-west - as well as a significant gauge of the government's ability to win voters over ahead of a likely national referendum on the EU constitution in 2006.
		If the regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier local government in Northumberland and County Durham would have to be rearranged into a single tier and voters will be asked how this should be done.
		Although the assembly is modelled on the Greater London assembly, which has powers over planning, housing, emergency services and the environment, its exact responsibilities have yet to be spelled out, exacerbating the problems of the referendum campaign.
