Names have been put forward for four MLC spots
An MLC who is seeking re-election later this year says he believes the deciding vote – by MHKs – is a political plus.
Bill Henderson, Rob Mercer, Peter Greenhill and Kerry Sharpe will all come to the end of their terms in February.
Names have now been put forward for the Legislative Council election which will take place on 4 March; these won't be revealed until next month.

Mr Henderson says whilst there has been a good deal of discussion about LegCo, and how members are elected, he believes it’s good for democracy:
