As the bbc has it currently, Sadiq Khan is almost exactly 1 Lawrence Fox ahead of the tory candidate.

It's also not impossible that he might not manage to get 50% even with second preference votes unless you assume all of the Green and LD first-preference voters put him as second-preference (although as most of the declared counts are Bad London he's still got a lot of first-prefs to pick up) e: To be clear - the winner is most first+second pref votes, it's not an *electoral* problem if he doesn't make 50% but it's a loving massive kick in the bollocks. Also it's extremely unlikely that Bailey will pick up anything like as many second-prefs, his path to a win is now basically closed. For comparison in 2012 Johnson was up by 15 points on first prefs in the seats that have already declared, up by 10 on total first-prefs and was pegged back to 3 points once the second prefs were counted. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 15:59 on May 8, 2021 |

NotJustANumber99 posted:They surely don't count the same? A first and second preference vote? Yes, it's an transferrable vote system. If nobody gets 50% on the first round, they effectively go back to the voters of people who didn't make the top two and say "Okay Count Binface is out, who do you want to vote for now?". London (and most other places that implement the system) only bother with two preferences and knock out all but the top two but there are schemes that allow as many preferences as there are candidates - you knock out the lowest-scoring candidate, count the second-pref votes for the people who had them as first-pref, then knock out the second-lowest and count the third-pref votes of the lowest scorer, the second-pref votes of the second-lowest, and so on up. Obviously this takes a truly stupiendous amount of time to count and verify especially as many won't bother with going much below second or maybe third votes. Now this system only really works with "Two parties and supporting artists" political landscape that we have - in 3-way races (particularly the clusterfuck of the very first London mayoral election) it's entirely possible for the 3rd-place candidate to actually have the largest amount of combined votes and then you get into just as many questions about tactical voting as you do with straight FPTP, but the more complex systems are well-known to be a big turn-off to voters (and even the simplified system has a truly stupendous amount of invalid (both prefs to same candidate, more than one first or second pref, no first pref, etc) ballots - over 5% this year, and normally around 3%). However the only real alternative is long-runoff systems (like the Tory leadership election) which whittle down the candidates one at a time and re-ballot, and I don't think anyone's keen on having half a dozen elections spread over months on end.

We're now in a world where the Conservatives have won the Tees Valley mayor contest with over 70% of the vote and lost control of Tunbridge Wells, the Isle of Wight, Canterbury, eight seats in West Sussex and 14 seats in Surrey. Interesting thread on 'London outflow' (which sounds like it would normally be some sort of sewerage system that twisto would post about): https://twitter.com/ACJSissons/status/1391041816053567497 It's the other side of the "all the young people are leaving the ex-industrial north, leaving only angry business-owning Boomer landlords" coin. Urban property prices, the increase in remote working and the growth in student numbers even in the smaller regional universities are pushing young white-collar graduates out of safe Labour city consituencies into the hard blue suburbs and semi-rural fringes of the southeast.

Burnham got two-thirds of the vote on first preference, and says he doesn’t rule out a leadership bid ‘in the distant future’, Starmer must be feeling a chill right now.

MikeCrotch posted:Third time's the charm Part of me thinks Burnham could actually pull of a Biden-style covenant between the right and left wings of the party, but then I remember that he's a complete windsock and the Labour right would rather destroy the whole party than allow the left one tiny iota of influence. He could probably win a leadership election though.

Communist Thoughts posted:Gay sports day is a great username A bit camp (in both the "incredibly self-aware in a tongue-in-cheek theatrical manner" and "encompassing certain stereotypical behaviours attributed to gay men" senses) in having events like the handbag throw and a drag relay alongside more traditional sports and games, but it was all in good fun and part of raising health awareness in LGBT communities. And so predictably everyone who thought that gay men should be confined to a miserable self loathing existence in the shadows loving hated it with a passion vastly disproportionate to anything that a bunch of men meeting in the park to do the long jump warranted, to the point where it became a byword for London's supposed metropolitan depravity. "This is what the gays want in schools Henry, they want our boys doing the hundred yard dash dressed as Cilla Black!" And so it ended up on a Tory campaign poster as "what Labour will do" even though it had nothing at all to do with them.

As an extension of this, the Tories have lost control of Cambridgeshire (albeit mostly to the Lib Dems) and it seems quite likely that Labour are going to win the Peterborough/Cambridge mayoralty - a position their candidate didn't even make the second round of voting for in 2017.

Someone asked if any labour politician would mention the attacks on Al Aqsa mosque by the IDF yesterday - Zarah Sultana has on FB. https://www.facebook.com/ZarahSultanaMP/posts/498320011605587 It's a public post so you should be able to see it without a FB account It would be really good if she became labour leader. I follow her FB and she's a very good egg IMHO.

Looking at the results in for London so far, and sad to report that DR PETER GAMMONS is getting thrashed across the board by Lawrence Fox, will come in behind Count Binface as it stands, and might even end up lower than the Bad Corbyn.
