That was certainly my impression. I mentioned it was a first for us in 2011. It's perhaps worth adding that the Hansard Society was following an innovation in 2009, when Michael Martin stepped down as Speaker of the House of Commons and there was a mid-parliament process, when they held a hustings for the candidates to succeed Michael Martin. I think that again was broadcast and was widely regarded as very successful. It has been done for the House of Commons as well, but we haven't yet, I think, had a contested election in recent times at the start of a new parliament in the House of Commons.
On October 2nd, 2014. See this statement in context.
