| Dec 4, 2019 at 13:13 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | @Bobson The thirteen days before the 14th day shall be completely ignored. | |
| Dec 4, 2019 at 11:50 | comment | added | Bobson | @CJDennis That’s part a - that part is clear. It’s b that was confusing me. | |
| Dec 4, 2019 at 5:16 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | @Bobson It's saying that any holidays that happen during those 13 days don't affect the final calculation. It's not 10 business days later, it's 14 real days later, as long as that day is a business day, otherwise it's the first business day at least 14 days after the original election date. | |
| Dec 3, 2019 at 8:59 | comment | added | Steve Melnikoff | @PhillS To add to richardb's comment, the election timetable is calculated backwards from polling day, so I think that (b) is making clear that the existing timetable, calculated from the original polling day, remains in place. | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 19:41 | comment | added | richardb | @Bobson It relates to other things than the polling date, e.g. the last date for filing nomination papers: legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/2/schedule/1/part/I/enacted | |

| Dec 2, 2019 at 17:54 | comment | added | PhillS | @Boson I'm not entirely sure; not familiar enough with the llegal language to decode it. I'd guess it is taking about (government?) business being suspended for the working days during the 14 day period, so clauses like "must respond within 3 working days" get extended by the duration of the period | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 17:50 | comment | added | Bobson | I don't understand 3.b. What is it trying to say? And does it affect the calculations in 3.a? | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 16:52 | comment | added | Christopher King | @Oxy perhaps royalty is relative to the reference frame you are in, similar to time or length. | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 16:42 | comment | added | Oxy | But what about monarches moving at relativistic speeds? Dying or receiving succession when one of the subjects is moving fast(TM) is not well defined, as it will happen at different times in their local times. Is the british monarchy limited to the solar system by design? | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 16:22 | comment | added | Dewi Morgan | "His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed." - PTerry | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 16:19 | comment | added | user2565 | As Terry Pratchett once joked, "monarchy is the only thing that travels faster than light" | |
