Thanks both for your answers.
To digress slightly: HomeInMyShoes, I didn't know that an electoral district in Canada was called a riding. I wonder what the etymology is. It presumably has nothing do to with the distance you can ride a horse in a day, or anything like that. I believe in Norse a riding means a one-third part. In England, the largest county, Yorkshire, used to be divided into three areas, called the north, west and east ridings respectively.
End of digression.
Mike
