Reform UK Just Destroyed the Uni Party - UK Fights Back

[gortex]

After "postponing" 4 Mayoral elections which Reform would likely have won Labour are now asking councils who "postponed" their elections earlier this year (including mine) if they would like to "postpone" them again next May due to the reorganisation that caused this years "postponement" because they are terrified of Reform , both Tory and Labour councillors wil no doubt jump at the chance to extend their term at the trough another year Democracy be damned.

Party leader Nigel Farage said: "Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Tory County Councils look set to collude with Labour to keep their control until 2027.

"Only a banana republic bans elections, that's what we have under [Sir Keir] Starmer. Kemi Badenoch must instruct her council leaders to allow elections to go ahead."

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey echoed that sentiment, saying: "This is looking like yet another Labour and Conservative stitch-up to deny people their votes in May.

"Kemi Badenoch must stop her Conservative council leaders from delaying elections yet again just because they are running scared of the Liberal Democrats."

Starmer is turning this Country into a Banana Republic style Dictatorship , taxed to the hilt and no right to register our Democratic choice the pressure will rise amongst the malcontent Majority , I see a troubled 26 ahead.

British government watchdog the Electoral Commission has signalled its displeasure at Starmer's anti-democratic decision to offer councils the opportunity not to hold elections next year in their attempt to stop Reform.

The chief executive of the Electoral Commission, Vijay Rangarajan, hit out at the announcement on Friday, saying he was "concerned" that some elections could be postponed, with some having already been deferred from 2025.

"We are disappointed by both the timing and substance of the statement. Scheduled elections should, as a rule, go ahead as planned, and only be postponed in exceptional circumstances," he said in a statement.

"Decisions on any postponements will not be taken until mid-January, less than three months before the scheduled May 2026 elections are due to begin.

"This uncertainty is unprecedented and will not help campaigners and administrators who need time to prepare for their important roles."

Mr Rangarajan added: "We very much recognise the pressures on local government, but these late changes do not help administrators. Parties and candidates have already been preparing for some time, and will be understandably concerned."

He said "capacity constraints" were not a "legitimate reason for delaying long planned elections", which risked "affecting the legitimacy of local decision-making and damaging public confidence".

The watchdog chief also said there was "a clear conflict of interest in asking existing councils to decide how long it will be before they are answerable to voters".

Not sure what teeth the commission has in circumstances like this but the words of Mr Rangarajan are food for thought for the government over their Christmas break , fear of election results are no reason to deny people their right to vote.

Think on Starmer you Fascist Bastard ... I await the knock on my door.
