2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum
A referendum on electoral reform was held on Jersey on 24 April 2013. Voters were offered three choices for a future electoral system, and will be asked to rank them in order of preference. Option B was the most preferred option, receiving 41% of votes in the first round, and 55% after second preferences were counted. Voter turnout was just 26%, and the proposed reforms were later rejected by the States.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Background
In 2012 an Electoral Commission was set up to examine potential reforms to the electoral system after a campaign by former States deputy Daniel Wimberly. The current system provides for a 51-seat States, with constituency size ranging from 1,200 to 98,000 residents. The States has three types of elected members; 29 deputies elected in constituencies of between 1,200 and 3,000 residents; constables who head the 12 parishes of Jersey; and 10 senators elected on an island-wide basis.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Background
However, Wimberly was unhappy with the proposals, claiming that the options presented did not make the changes people wanted, as they would still not be able to choose their government.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Electoral system
Voters were asked to rank their preferences. If no option received over 50% of the vote, the second preferences of ballots for the third-placed option would be tallied and added to the totals of those in first and second place. Voters had to be registered by 3 April.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Campaign
Option A was supported by the "A Team", who claimed it was simple, fair and equal and its implementation would mean that "for the first time, all islanders will have an equal say in how the States is made up". Supporters of Option B claimed that removing the Constables from the States would lead to parishes being unrepresented, whilst supporters of Option C claimed that keeping the Senators was important, describing them as "the most representative elected office and therefore the most democratic."


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Campaign
States deputy Jeremy Maçon called for a minimum turnout threshold of 40% for the referendum to encourage more people to vote, but the proposal was rejected by a vote of 31–13 in the States. A proposal by Constable Phil Rondel for a 51% threshold was rejected by 36–7. Adrian Lee, an expert on Jersey politics, claimed that turnout would probably be low enough for the States to ignore the results.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Campaign
In March, Senator Lyndon Farnham asked the treasury minister for £5,000 to be given to each of the campaign groups, and for each campaign's spending to be capped at £10,000. Farnham is supporting the Option C campaign.


2013 Jersey electoral reform referendum, Aftermath
The States voted on adopting the reforms in July 2013, but rejected them by a vote of 28–21, with one abstention. Following the vote, Simon Crowcroft resigned as chairman of the Privileges and Procedures Committee.

2013 Jerusalem mayoral election, Campaigning
Lion was regarded as the candidate of the far-right, as was strongly linked to Avigdor Lieberman. The candidate of Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu (an alliance between the Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Yisrael Beiteinu party led by Lieberman), he was regarded as Lieberman's candidate. It was believed that Lieberman had hoped that a Lion victory would bolster his chances of potentially challenging Netanyahu's leadership. Pundits observed that Haredi opponents of Netanyahu's government were supporting Lieberman in hopes of trying to gain momentum to topple Netanyahu's coalition in the Knesset. Also supporting Lion was Aryeh Deri, the chairman of the Shas party. Lion did not receive the support of Netanyahu, who formally remained neutral in the race, but was speculated to favor Barkat.

Yost added, "It just gives you confidence going into the season knowing that everybody's ready, everybody's playing well."

2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April
On April 5, Alex Gordon and Chris Getz each hit a bases-loaded triple, allowing the Royals to rally and beat the Philadelphia Phillies 13–4, spoiling the Phillies' home opener with a sellout crowd of 45,307 at Citizens Bank Park. The interleague matchup was a rare one between teams who first met in the 1980 World Series. The only other visit to Philadelphia by the Royals came in 2004. After getting a total of 17 hits in their first three games against the Chicago White Sox, the Royals had 19 against the Phillies.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April
Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and George Brett, rivals when the Phillies beat the Royals to win their first championship 33 years earlier, threw out the first pitches (along with SNL's Joe Piscopo). Wade Davis, acquired from Tampa Bay Rays along with James Shields, made his first start since 2011. He made 54 relief appearances for the Rays in 2012 after 58 starts from 2010-11.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April
The Royals didn't commit an error in their first seven games (64 2/3 innings) for the first time in team history. As of April 10, the Royals had won four straight games and six of seven games to move three games above .500 for the first time since May 12, 2011, when they were 20–17. The Royals went on to sweep the Minnesota Twins at home at Kauffman Stadium. However, on April 12 (after a day off), the Royals lost against the Toronto Blue Jays after committing three errors within the game, matching their season total at that time.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April
Royals 1B Eric Hosmer had tightness in his right quadriceps and did not start for the second straight night on April 13. Nonetheless, as a result of Alex Gordon driving in a run, the Royals avoided a three-game sweep by the Blue Jays, who had won six straight and eight of 10 against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, including a four-game sweep in their only series in Kansas City from the previous season. Therefore, the Royals maintained first place in the ALC, but were tied with the Detroit Tigers after they defeated the Oakland Athletics.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
Although performing well, the Royals helped the Atlanta Braves win their 10th straight game with a 6–3 victory over KC on April 16. After both teams had a day off, players, managers and coaches for both teams wore No. 42 on their jerseys to honor Jackie Robinson. Like many teams, the Braves also held a moment of silence before the game for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing (April 15). Chris Getz, KC's No. 8 hitter, homered for the first time in nearly four years (on July 19, 2009 when he played for the Chicago White Sox). Jeff Francoeur, a former Braves RF, played his first game at Turner Field with Kansas City. With Wade Davis pitching 7 scoreless innings, the Royals beat the Braves 1–0 on April 17 to end Atlanta's 10-game winning streak.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
The Royals had a scheduled weekend series against the Boston Red Sox between  April 19–21. It was to be Boston's first home game since the bombings, the explosions occurring 45 minutes after they finished playing the Rays on April 15 while en route to play the Cleveland Indians. However, the Greater Boston area went on a citywide lockdown in search of a suspect on the morning of April 19. Therefore, their first "homecoming game" of the weekend was postponed. The Red Sox reported the decision was made "to support efforts of law enforcement officers."


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
The Royals stayed at the Westin Copley Place Hotel near Copley Square, about a block from the marathon finish line. "We've been told not to go outside. We've been told the hotel has been locked down, although I've seen a handful of people moving around", Royals vice president Mike Swanson said. "The streets are just, wow. It's numbingly quiet for a noon hour in Boston." No make-up game was immediately scheduled.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
However, with the second suspect captured that same evening and Fenway Park under tight security, play resumed Saturday, April 20, with a win of 4–3 by Boston over the Royals. Following an emotional pregame ceremony, both teams honored the victims of the bombing tragedy by wearing special uniforms/logos. (The Red Sox wore white home jerseys with "Boston" on the front instead of the customary "Red Sox" while Kansas City players and staff wore a "B Strong" patch on the front of their jerseys, with the shirts being auctioned off for funds to support victims of the bombing.)


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
The Red Sox later announced Friday's (April, 19) game would be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday (April, 21). The regularly scheduled game took place at 1:35 p.m., and a nightcap at 7 p.m. Even with the loss, the Royals moved to first place since the Detroit Tigers also lost in the American League Central.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
On April 21, Kansas City ended Boston's seven-game winning streak with a 4–2 win over the Red Sox in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. With tributes to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings still visibly clear, the Royals ended a season-opening streak of 16 games by Red Sox starters allowing three runs or less, tying an AL record achieved by the Oakland Athletics in 1978 and 1981. With the Detroit Tigers losing, the win kept the Royals secure in first place.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas City narrowly beat Boston 5–4 in 10 innings to win the weekend series (and sweep the doubleheader), as a result of Lorenzo Cain walking with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning. With both wins against the Red Sox on April 21, Kansas City remained in first place in the AL Central as did Boston in the AL East.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Impact of the Boston Marathon bombing
A disappointing ending to an emotional weekend for the Red Sox, Ervin Santana (2-1) pitched seven strong innings, Kelvin Herrera (2–2) got the win and Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in five opportunities. Billy Butler homered in the eighth inning of the night game (clearing the Green Monster). The Royals also recalled LHP Will Smith from Triple-A Omaha.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Remaining in first place
On April 25, Alex Gordon's grand slam (clearing the 420-foot marker on the wall in center field) highlighted a five-run 10th inning for Kansas City, who rallied against the Detroit Tigers bullpen for an 8–3 win, keeping the Royals in first place (ALC). Billy Butler had three hits on the day and improved to 23 for 55 (.418) off Justin Verlander, the best mark of anyone with at least 30 at-bats against the Detroit pitcher. Tim Collins (1–0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the Royals and got the win.


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Remaining in first place
This followed a game the previous day, which the Royals narrowly lost against Detroit (having only played two out of six days due to postponed games and having no batting practice prior to the game on April 24 as a result of bad weather). Overall, the Royals went 4–3 at Atlanta, Boston and Detroit. Kansas City did not play a home game since April 14. They played seven road games in 11 days. "This was a phenomenal road trip for us", said right-hander James Shields, who pitched eight solid innings on April 25. "We're going to look back at this road trip, and I think it's going to be a pretty crucial road trip."


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, April, Remaining in first place
On April 28, in the opener of a doubleheader caused by a rainout two days earlier, Jeremy Guthrie (3–0) allowed six hits over 6 2/3 innings for his 16th consecutive start without a loss. That matched the Kansas City record set by Paul Splittorff from August 13, 1977 – April 22, 1978. The Royals went on to beat the Indians 9–0, with a memorable 500th career hit from Alcides Escobar being a home run (370 feet) and a right center home run by Alex Gordon (438 feet),


2013 Kansas City Royals season, Season highlights, May
After spending most of April in first place (AL Central), the Royals ended the month with a 14–10 record (7–4 at home), a half game behind the Detroit Tigers as of April 30 (an improvement from their 6–15 mark going into May a year ago). However, on May 1, the Royals moved back into first place (15–10), due to the Tigers losing to the Minnesota Twins and then the Royals later beating the Tampa Bay Rays (giving them a .600 percentage). Unfortunately, it was not to last, as the Royals would go 8-20 for the month, their worst May record since 2006 (8-21).

2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election
The 2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election was held on 5 May 2013 to elect members from 223 constituencies in the Indian state of Karnataka. Five major political parties contested the election: Indian National Congress (INC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)), B. S. Yeddyurappa's Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP) and B. Sriramulu's Badavara Shramikara Raitara Congress (BSRCP). Though Karnataka has 224 assembly constituencies, elections were held only for 223 seats. The election for the Piriyapatna constituency was postponed to 28 May 2013 due to the death of the BJP candidate for the seat. The voter turnout in the state was 70.23%.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election
The INC under the leadership of the erstwhile Janata Parivar leader Siddaramaiah won the election with an absolute majority of 122 seats (including the Piriyapatna seat), 9 more than the majority mark of 113. As a result, the INC returned to power on its own after nine years with Siddaramaiah becoming the Chief Minister.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Background
In 2008, the BJP under the leadership of B. S. Yeddyurappa, a powerful Lingayat leader, won 110 seats, emerging as the single largest party. As the party did not have a majority of its own, having not won 113+ seats, it had to form a government with the support of a few independent MLA's. The BJP thus came to power for the first time in South India with Yeddyurappa becoming the Chief Minister of Karnataka.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Background
However, the five years in which BJP was in power in Karnataka was not smooth and was mired in many controversies. A few months after coming to power, the BJP encouraged Congress and JD(S) MLA's to defect to the BJP to boost its strength in the assembly. Yeddyurappa had to face many revolts over his style of functioning from the Reddy brothers (Karunakara, Somashekara and Janardhana) and B. Sriramulu, a faction led by Balachandra Jarkiholi and the old BJP loyalists led by Ananth Kumar. Janardhana Reddy was arrested in the Bellary illegal mining scam in 2011. Some BJP leaders like Katta Subramanya Naidu, Ess Enn Krishnaiah Setty and Yeddyurappa were imprisoned for some time for their role in individual land scams. Yeddyurappa and Kumaraswamy of JD(S) were accused of encouraging illegal mining, though were cleared later by the High Court of Karnataka.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Background
In its five years of rule, the BJP had three Chief Ministers. Yeddyurappa was forced to resign as Chief Minister in July 2011 due to his alleged involvement in a land scam. He was replaced by his handpicked successor and loyalist D. V. Sadananda Gowda, who faced a challenge from Jagadish Shettar, the Chief Minister choice for Yeddyurappa's opponents in the BJP. However, Gowda soon fell out with Yeddyurappa and the latter began to revolt against him, threatening to quit the BJP if Gowda was not removed. The BJP High Command replaced Gowda with Shettar, only 11 months after he became Chief Minister. Shettar was another Lingayat BJP leader whom Yeddyurappa opposed becoming his successor just less than a year ago as they were from the same caste.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Background
In local body elections, the Congress and the JD(S) won more seats while the BJP was pushed to third. In the by-election to the Udupi Chimagalur Lok Sabha seat held in March 2012, the Congress won.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Background
Yeddyurappa quit the BJP in November 2012 and formed his own party, the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP). Previously, Sriramulu had quit the BJP in 2011 to form the Badavara Shramikara Raitara Congress (BSR Congress) after Janardhana Reddy was imprisoned. These splits weakened the BJP.


2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Election
The election was held in a single phase on 5 May 2013 for 223 out of total 224 seats. A voter turnout of 70.23% was recorded. 50,446 polling stations were set up for the 41.8 million voters in Karnataka. The election in the constituency of Periyapatna was adjourned due to the death of the BJP candidate, Sannamogegowda, a day before polls.

2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Aftermath
