Voting Bill to hit ethnic minorities in London, Sadiq Khan claims

We all wondered how Khan managed to get re-elected as London Mayor in 2021, especially after the mess he’d made of TfL. 

Funny then that when ministers said introducing voter ID will stop people pretending to be someone else when they vote…. Khan is up in arms (and playing the race card AGAIN) saying:

Thousands of ethnic minority Londoners will to be disenfranchised by the plans to reform the electoral system. 

Khan also claimed the Elections Bill was a “manifesto for voter suppression”.

He also tore into moves to replace the supplementary vote system, used to elect the mayor, with first past the post.

Amazingly the EU use ID cards for elections as a requirement under new legislation. The very same EU that Khan wants to rejoin. 

Does Sadiq Khan know something that we don’t know…like, if people have to identify themselves at the polling booths, he probably has no chance of being re-elected?

114,000 first time votes were rejected, double the previous record ! That’s almost 5% of the total vote. 

Ever wondered where all his postal votes came from ???

The term '9 bob note' comes to mind! (Apologies to younger readers!)

Same postal system that allowed the election to be stolen from Donald Trump.
