Labour ‘rushes through’ mayoral voting changes to block Reform
Switch from first-past-the-post predicted to benefit Andy Burnham’s potential replacement in Manchester

Mayoral contests will now be fought using the supplementary vote (SV) system, rather than the first-past-the-post method.

Under the SV system, people can vote for two candidates – a first and second choice.
If no candidate gets more than half of first preference votes, the election goes to a run-off between the top two, with second preferences taken into account.
Opponents of the change said it would make it easier for Labour to mobilise an anti-Reform coalition to keep Nigel Farage’s party out of power.
Lord Hayward, a Tory peer and pollster, said it was striking that ministers had rushed through the motion before a potential mayoral election.

Voting harder changes nothing

Protests achieve nothing

Investigations go nowhere

Information releases are always redacted

Courts and judges are corrupt

The only solution is non-compliance at the individual level. Don't give them taxes. Ignore their immoral tyrannical laws that infringe on your unalienable rights.
