		By tradition, the procedure for initiating a by-election (known as 'moving the writ') is usually initiated by the political party which held the seat before the vacancy.

		The Conservatives held the mayoralty in the by-election, which was also attributed to another poor choice of candidate from the Labour Party on that occasion.
		Mr Wolfe, who ran the campaign to introduce an elected mayor to the town, was originally a contender for the Labour nomination in 2002 but he when was beaten in the selection contest by the town's sitting Member of Parliament, decided to stand as an independent.

		It is not, therefore, surprising that most British voters in last week’s elections either abstained or did not vote for the two parties which express the neoliberal and social-liberal wings of the political spectrum respectively and which have been adopted by the ruling elites.
		However, it is preposterous indeed for the well known enemies of equality, who arbitrarily (and conveniently for the elites) rend freedom apart from equality, to accuse as enemies of economic freedom those who propose economic democracy, i.e.
