The contest for Parliament in England
next year promises to be 0110 of the most
complex as well as one of the most import-

While the ]resent Parliament has some
mouths of life still before it and is likely

elements have taken similar a011on. The
registry lists for the election are al-
ready being made up, and thorn is
always considerable friction over that, for
