		Where contentious elections present fears of vote tampering and other irregularities, the presence of election monitors may serve to prevent shenanigans and give parties greater confidence that the vote was free and fair.
		Thirdly, although election monitoring and observation represent good practice at the micro level of democratisation, they have also tended to be used as part of the political conditionality and leverage through which industrial countries impose their hegemony over developing countries and thereby undermine their already enfeebled national sovereignty.
		Election observation is seen by donor countries and the international community as a means to enhance democratization, but controversial issues include the mandates of the observers, the cases of its misappropriation by authoritarian governments, and its masking other interests of donor countries.

	April 2000: The Battle for London
		The election has been transformed from what initially promised to be a rather dull affair into a bitter political battle, because the still highly popular Ken Livingstone decided to break with the Labour Party, and its fixed candidate selection process, and run for mayor of London as an independent.
		London is Europe's largest and richest city, yet there are hundreds of thousands living in poverty while basic services and infrastructure have been slashed-leaving a crisis in housing, schools and transport, which is chaotic, dirty and underfunded.
		London's hospitals are being handed over to private companies, while last year 57,000 National Health Service (NHS) patients had their operations cancelled (an increase of 12 percent), and after being placed on long waiting lists.

	City Mayors: London election 2004
		The 2004 elections almost saw a repeat of the performance four years previously where Labour and Conservative were equally tied, the Liberal Democrats received seats proportionate to their vote share and smaller parties such as the Greens were able to break out of the ghetto of fringe politics and into the representative arena.
		Labour may yet rue the day it decided to hold all of the 2004 elections on one date in order to boost turnout as Ukip now have two seats on the London Assembly and all that brings with it – legitimacy, mandate, staff, resources and votes.
		Labour suffered a high profile loss in the elections in the form of (Lord) Toby Harris, the leader of Labour in the Assembly for the last four years and also Chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority for that period, who lost his constituency seat of Brent and Harrow.

	CNN.com - World - 'Red Ken' elected London mayor despite Blair opposition - May 5, 2000
		LONDON (CNN) -- Ken Livingstone, dubbed "Red Ken" for his leftist views, became London's first-ever elected mayor, dealing Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair a grating blow three years into his government's rule.
		Booted from the Labour Party when he stood for London mayor as an independent -- after failing to win the Labour nomination for mayor -- Livingstone complained that he was the target of an "absolutely vile campaign" from the Labour side.
		The Tories had one stunning defeat, however, in a by-election to fill the Romsey Parliament seat of the late Michael Colvin, who died, along with his wife, in a fire at his Hampshire mansion.

	Western Sahara
		Most Sahrawis (as the majority of persons living in the territory are called) live in the area controlled by Morocco, but there is a sizable refugee population near the border with Morocco in Algeria, and, to a lesser extent, in Mauritania.
		At the invitation of Annan, the Government of Morocco and the Polisario met in London in May and again in June in an attempt to resolve the parties' longstanding differences over the settlement plan, and to explore other avenues to resolve their dispute over the territory; however, little progress was made.
		There was also no progress during the year on local elections to choose members to the proposed new royal advisory council on the Western Sahara that the King had announced in October 1999.

	LONDON THE CAPITAL CITY OF ENGLAND - THE SQUARE MILE, UNITED KINGDOM
		The term "London" was used for hundreds of years to refer to the conurbation centred on the small City of London in the historic county of Middlesex.
		The coordinates of the centre of London (traditionally considered to be Charing Cross, near Trafalgar Square) are approximately 51°30' N, 0°8' W although the Romans marked the centre with the London Stone in the City.
		The London public transport system is one of the few systems in the world to be a tourist attraction in its own right; its infrastructure, however, is, and historically has been, financially stretched and under-resourced, leading to frequent difficulties and delays in making journeys.

	Historic defeats for Blair in Super Thursday's polarised elections
		In the first place these elections are a decisive rejection of Blair and Blairism - that combination of a slavish support for US imperialism overseas and willingness to do the bidding of the city of London at home.
		If the council elections were the worst electoral result for Labour since the second world war, then the euro election results are the worst ever by a sitting government in a national vote since the first world war.
		The turnout in the local elections, for example, was estimated to be up by an average of 9% on last year's polls to 40% overall.

		General elections are elections of the whole House of Commons at one time: one Member of Parliament for each constituency in the United Kingdom.
		A parliamentary by-election is held when a seat falls vacant in the House of Commons, because an MP dies, resigns or can no longer be an MP for some other reason, such as being made a member of the House of Lords.

	RTE News - Ken Livingstone elected Mayor of London
		But there were no surprises as the results began to pour in to the central London election centre this morning.
		In the elections for the new devolved London assembly the Tories did better than expected, but most of the attention will now focus on how well Mayor Livingstone can work with the Blair administration in tackling key issues in London such as funding the public transport system.
		The local elections are the last big test of electoral opinion before the next British general election, now widely expected next year, and the results represent a 10% swing from Labour to the Tories compared with the results of the last general election.
