unusual facts about Preselection


Preselection

The party may then select a new replacement candidate, or it may decide (or be compelled by the electoral timetable) to forego contesting that seat (for example, the Liberal Party of Australia after Pauline Hanson was disendorsed just before the 1996 House of Representatives election, and likewise the Labour candidate for Moray, Stuart Maclennan, just before the 2010 UK election).
