    Filling the D-5 vacancy by a by-election seems to be a fait accompli. The question is what is the value of holding a by-election so close to a constitutional due general election that is due no later than June 2019? The NDP, the current government, now has a 10-2 advantage in the HOA. Therefore, the D-5 vacancy is not going to affect the NDP (what is left of it) ability to effectively govern nor give the opposition any advantage. Thus, why expend scarce resources at this time? Why can’t the money that will be spent on this by-election be used to improve and strengthen the electoral process?

      @ political observer: question, how come no issue or questions in the house of assembly: most on them recently went after the speaker of the house but now we have a political party within the current elected administration and that is alright
