In the third paragraph, "Labour" in this context is almost certainly wrong. One of the motivations of the Act, as the article makes clear, was to avoid candidates using deceptive party names (such as "Conversative") which could cause confusion in the minds of voters. As such, there were several candidates before the Act who used such tricks, typically spelling alterations. So, "Labur" is a distinct possibility which somewhere in the back of my memory rings a bell, though it may have been "Labor". I've tried to get some reference for this but, unfortunately, search engines don't like you searching with what it considers misspelt terms, so I have been unable to pin this down yet. What is certain, though, is that it could not be "Labour". In the meantime, I have reverted to "Labor". Emeraude (talk) 16:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
