Runcorn

Interesting place. Just voted in a new Mayor.

Thoughts?

I’ll give it six months before bankruptcy/corruption/criminal charges

Shopping City though

Reform got in by 6 votes, ffs.

Another disappointing development for the place to say the least

Apparently, the current thinking is it is a protest vote against the loss of the Winter Fuel Payment.

So, to summarize, they are protesting against that loss of the benefit by voting for a party that wants to remove the NHS in favour of Private Medical Care.

Makes perfect sense

Bit like Wes Streeting then?

Elections you say ?

 

[Esgehtvoran]

Clear electoral fraud. At least 6 people in Runcorn being capable of writing an X is fanciful to say the least.

Born and bred there until I jumped ship to IOM. Absolutely gutted, but not enormously surprised.

It's an area with high levels of deprivation, which is generally associated with people being less well educated, ergo they are thick as mince so makes sense they've voted REFORM.
