separate office holders requirement; then they lose interest) but in others it's due to internal affairs whether disorganisation or a dispute between the registered officers that means they don't all agree to sign off a return. (You can also get complications with the change of officers forms especially if the change is related to a dispute.) When a party is degregistered the name goes into suspense until the end of the following financial year. During this time the original party or a legitimate continuing reorganisation can seek to reregister under the name. The
Electoral Commission has to rule if the applicant meets this criteria. In some cases more than one group will apply and the Electoral Commission will have to determine which if any is the legal continuation/successor to the original party. The name doesn't go up for general grabs until the end of the following financial year.

recent case is Ukip where a leader was deposed after only a few months and the party had never updated its registration with his name so he couldn't easily get the name off his rivals. Back in the 2000s the
Commission declined to get involved in a dispute within Respect because none of the existing registered officers were complaining.) It would take a court order in such circumstances. What seems to cause most of the problems are that it is difficult to remove an officer from the registration without their consent.

Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party the problem seems to be that Richard Suchorzewski became Leader in June taking over from Jonathon Harrington (the registered Leader and Deputy Nominating Officer) but a dispute with David Bevan (the registered Nominating Officer) meant that a change of officers'

This can lead to a mess as parties voluntarily deregister and then reregister as way to clear out registered officers who are in dispute. But this can get messy if both sides in the dispute try to reregister. A few years ago the

I think we need to have a discussion on how we deal with the situation that
Abolish is not an official party under the Electoral Commission, and does this mean that Bennett and Reckless are technically independent MSs. In my opinion on Knowledge they should be put down as Abolish members as that's

The ICM BBC poll can be found on the official
Knowledge for Opinion Polling and should be included as it highlights that not ALL polls from late 2020 to 2021 show that Abolish will obtain 4 - 5 seats. Excluding this IS being biased. I included both the 9% AND the 4% one as evidence to this.

please do not edit war against me and two pending changes reviewers. Your revision is not only non-neutral but is inaccurate, as more than one poll has shown they are likely to win 4-5 seats, and you also deleted the YouGov poll for no reason which is inappropriate.

The YouGov poll was also confusing as it was not a proper reference, just the document. I merely added a reference to an article that can be cited, however if you can fill the reference with more information that would be acceptable.
