What can/can't the Mayor do for Accrington
 

It was spent on one of two things Jay: debt interest, or Irish bank bailouts. Difference is we'll get it back which may not be the case with our Scottish generosity.

Didn't have much of a notice on lending to the Irish at that time. Either we did, or they go bust. Biggest creditor of Ireland is the UK so we would also have gone bust. Not dissimilar to an armed robbery, so can't really blame the govt for handing over the cash. It was that or lose all of ours!

This explains the problem nicely http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15748696

Re: What can/can't the Mayor do for Accrington
 

If she had the power,which i'm sure she aint, How can she have the arndale demolished? As far as i'm aware its owned privately. But i'm sure maundy into space is viable, as its non-political.:hehetable

The European Parliamentary Election is held every five years and is due in 2014. Usually it is held on the 1st or 2nd Thursday in June in the UK, though most of the other countries vote on the Sunday following. In 2014 it is likely that throughout the UK, local Borough Council Elections will be combined with the European Parliamentary Election and that the date for both will be Thursday 22nd May. When we first started electing members to the European Parliament we voted for a constituency MEP. Hyndburn was first of all in Lancashire East and then in Lancashire South. The system was changed a number of years ago. We now elect a group of MEPS (I think 9 or 10) to represent the whole of the North-West. If you can remember previous occasions, you get a ballot paper that looks more like a piece of toilet roll, with all the parties printed on. You vote for a party, not a person. Each party will have a list of candidates corresponding to the number of vacancies and will rank them in numerical order. So for example, if Labour won 4 seats, the top 4 candidates on their list would become MEPS. I'll try to find a link and post again.
