“Baron – it’s just how it’s done. You could have a system in whiche the allocation of list seats is re-done after a by-election, but we don’t. That’s not what the law requires or allows. Proportionality is only kept at general elections – at other times, it’s not.”
So it sounds like this would lead to a change in the number of seats.
I’m confused though – should the party vote always determine the make up of parliament …

But she will probably make it back before the next election anyway, if anyone else resigns, gets sick or dies.
