By-Election Bingo

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

Hello,

 

Long-time admirer of the Deathlist from afar but never joined. Being a former student of politics, this particular thread piqued my interest such that I felt I should bite the bullet and use this as my introduction to the highs and lows of deathlist predicting. If I'm feeling brave, I may join in some of the mainstream Deadpools for 2016.

 

Anyway, who knows if my 20 picks are any good, like the Grand National just stick a pin in and hope for the best is perhaps the easiest solution. Here's to 5 years of keeping an eye on the health and fortunes of our 650 Right Honourable (and in many cases Less Than Honourable) Members!

[maryportfuncity 10,658]

So, I'm not the only one aiming for Keith - sanctimonious twat - Vaz, eh? Just a hunch but I always suspect someone so strong on advising other people to have serious skeletons to be uncovered.

 

C'mon guys, share the love, how many others have targeted Ulster MPs who've had death threats or reckoned that 20 year old Mhari Black won't be able to stand the heat?

[The Dead Cow 620]

Looking at some of these picks, I wish I had spent more time researching.

[Deathray 2,941]

Oh shit. It appears some people actually took this seriously. There go my chances.

[Bibliogryphon 9,589]

Dear All

 

Seventeen teams in total 198 MPs have at least one selection.

 

The masterlist is on an excel spreadsheet so I am working on how to share the complete list with the site without it being impossible to read

 

But to keep you going here are the top thirteen picks.

 

 

Gerald Kaufman Manchester Gorton (16) Dennis Skinner Bolsover (15) Eric Pickles Brentwood & Ongar (13) Kenneth Clarke Rushcliffe (12) Nicholas Soames Mid Sussex (11) David Winnick Walsall North (10) Michael Fabricant Lichfield (9) Ronnie Campbell Blythe Valley (8) Alistair Carmichael Orkney & Shetland (8) Bill Cash Stone (8) Ann Clwyd Cynon Valley (8) Zac Goldsmith Richmond Park (8) Michael Meacher Oldham West & Royton (8)

 

I have realised that by the time this competition ends I will be receiving a pension.

 

Rover&Out is the only person to steer clear of the Father of the House and the top pick that would cause a problem for David Cameron is Sir Eric Pickles but I suspect he has a safe seat.

 

Thanks everyone for playing let the (very slow) fun commence.

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

I chose to take heed of the early advice that the Father of the House is generally indestructible. A quick glance at the previous Parliament's by-elections also reveals only 1 MP elected pre-1992 died (Sir Stuart Bell, Lab, Middlesbrough, '83 General) and only 3 over 70 died (Bell, Jim Dobbin and Alan Keen) and none at all over 80. It seems the Parliamentary Lifers are a pretty robust bunch.

12 of the 21 by-elections were for resignations, either for career advancement or career suicide and possible criminal proceedings. So those of you who've gone for crooks over stiffs have probably chosen wisely. Think I dithered between the two so will likely fail at both. My list of picks will be revealed forthwith.

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

For Whom the Division Bell Tolls:

1. Alistair Carmichael - LD, Orkney and Shetland
2. Nick Clegg - LD, Sheffield Hallam

6. Ken Clarke - Con, Rushcliffe

27. Madeleine Moon - Lab, Bridgend
28. Nadine Dorries - Con, Mid Bedfordshire
29. John Woodcock - Lab, Barrow and Furness
30. Guy Opperman - Con, Hexham

 

Nearly had a cheeky punt on Nigel, as I'm almost certain if anyone can get in and out of Parliament within 5 years it would be him (SO many possibilities!) but decided it was probably not sporting to pick a non-Parliamentarian. Interesting to know everyone's reasoning, I'm guessing some have highly speculative reasons attached to them.

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

Woo-hoo, show and tell time:

 

So, my team:

28. Angela Crawley
29. Eric Pickles
30. Chuka Umunna

Let battle commence, or summat.

 

Also, hate to point this out to a Deathlist veteran such as Maryport but despite the temptation of his dicky ticker, Peter Robinson isn't an MP, only First Minister of Northern Ireland. He lost East Belfast in 2010 to Naomi Long and then his son Gavin won it back in 2015. Still time for another pick though, I'm sure Bibliogryphon would allow since he didn't pick up on it?

I'm afraid there's no easy way to say this - (C+p from the entries you've recieved and go wall of text - won't be much longer than the Hare's one). The spreadsheet'll come in handy for tracking though. Pain in the arse and waste of free time but the other options share the initial spreadsheet - which'll be a fecking nightmare to understand.

 

Nicholas Soames was on telly earlier, didn't look like he was go on anywhere in the next five years on two counts. Relic of a bygone era or what - he looks like a cross between Eric Pickles, Alf Roberts and the fat controller.

So, as we were saying...

[Bibliogryphon 9,589]

I should have picked up on the Peter Robinson issue and have allowed Maryport the sneaky change to Michael Green.

 

That just means there is one less potential target.

 

Any interest in Robinson will have to transfer to the DDP.

 

Alistair Carmichael is to attend sessions to have the complaints about his heard so will we get our first BE quickly and will he be allowed to stand?
