Completely hypothetical event that has not been announced, and definitely not certain to take place in 2019, as it might not be called. --

Also, I don't believe this article meets
WP:GNG, as I can't find any source on it (never mind reliable secondary independent ones). I also believe it violates
WP:CRYSTAL, as the article is just speculation. --

Neutral per
WP:RAPID. We have articles on each of the deputy leadership elections in the lib dems (at least all of the recent ones in the last two decade). One is expected to take place - in 2019 (the timetable for these is rather swift - and many of the previous ones occurred when the deputy was appointed to something else and didn't want to hold on to the party post). I can't quite find a source discussing this (in the sea of sources on the leadership election results - in which the deputy leader Jo Swinson became leader) - however I'm fairly sure that even at this early stage there are sources, and that the election itself will take place in the near future. If we delete this - we'll only end up re-creating it in less than a week. I'm at a neutral as the current article is ORish (need at least one source discussing this)

As there will be deputy elections in very short order - and at the moment search results are masked out by Boris and the deputy Lib Dem being elected to ldeader.

If there was going to be news anywhere it would be on the Lib Dem's website, but if there it's hidden so well that they've not put it on their "latest news" page nor can google find it.

Delete for now - As far as I can see at the moment there is no guarantee it will take place - the position went unfilled from 2015-2017 and the Lib Dem parliamentary party is only slightly larger now than it was then. Equally, given the current parliamentary arithmetic, there is a chance that when parliament meets after the recess a general election could be called. In this case it is more likely that any ballot would happen after that date, possibly as late as early 2020, so I think this an event not certain to occur. If and when a ballot is announced then the issue can be looked at again.
