As Is Britain - Look what they've taken from us?

This will build Borough Cohesion Whilst Being Maybe Easier

Ideally what we want is a newer voting system that also doesn't require a vast amount of effort to implement.

So how about AV+

All Wards lose a councillor, give or take (if they're not one member). The vote remains FPTP.

Then a new Borough List Vote

Anyway, because we live in the Cursed Timeline, what will actually happen is Labour consults on introducing Halves/Thirds for London Metro/County Councils

Ahh, the Lost Conservatives of Southwark problem

'will you be deporting thousands of children to a place they've never been minister' is a big enough & obvious enough Q that govt has to know the answer to it before they unveil the whole package - it surely has a material effect on costs, numbers, political impact, maybe legality. So either..

I've assumed a huge part of it was that Labour and the Conservatives both had vast numbers of fortress like wards, where any new system would probably make them competitive.

Which I guess is not true anymore more for the latter, and increasingly less true for the former.

Although I would imagine this is still more about what may happen in next year's London locals. There are so many fortress wards for Labour across the inner/middle of the city where Labour hasn't really had to work hard for their vote (whilst also having lots of volunteers to do GOTV at elections)

Tl;dr - if Labour want to combat racism, they should say racism is wrong, over and over, and act on that belief (e.g. by leaving certain social media sites owned by racists). That would do more to promote anti-racist norms, and protect the interests of Britain's minorities than immigration controls.

"It is terrible that Shabana Mahmood faces overt racism for being a high profile Asian woman" = good argument

"The key to ending overt racism against Asians in Britain is that we must Stop the Boats" = a very bad argument indeed, on so many levels
