“Attacking Democracy!” Reform UK Launches Campaign Against Labour's Plans To Cancel Local Elections
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Reform UK has launched a campaign against Labour’s plans to cancel large swathes of English County Council elections on May 1st.
Eighteen councils have asked to postpone elections this year, ahead of the biggest reorganisation of local government in decades.
With 21 county councils and 10 unitary authorities due to hold elections this May, some have sought to delay them to allow time to develop proposals on reorganisation.
They include Surrey, Oxfordshire, Devon and Norfolk county councils, which have all voted to push their elections back. Worcestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Gloucestershire and Thurrock have also requested postponements.
In December, Labour announced plans to abolish two-tier council areas to devolve more power away from Westminster.
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan and Isabel Oakeshott discuss the story.

Exactly what Hitler did in 1940.
Exactly! There is nothing new under the sun!
Stalin too!!
Mao Mussolini Pol Pot & Zelensky all did the same thing
Didn't work too well for Hitler atvend of day but they are doing it Germany today too like UK banning AFD party who are the party like Reform
@@davidjma7226 yes him too...
He should not be allowed to get away with this. Why is this not being fought in a court.
It should be fought by the constituents at local level - but most Brits are so apathetic they won't bother.
@@davidjma7226 it may not get through the house of lords............ or it maybe will thats another jobs for the club shyster divy up if ever there was one..........outdated like this country , if i was 20 I would be off, nothing here bar a gov scratching the money thats left out like a coconut shell and we get the shell.
They are the court!
@@davidjma7226 Yes too busy watching Love Island or Arsenal in the Champions League.
The slim chance of victory in a heavily politicised judicial system?
Re the video, will they have to go through a general election at some point? May this not be cancelled too? Can we trust this government not to find another spurious reason for so doing?
So, for 10 million of us, there will be at least three years council taxation without representation. What more evidence do we need of Starmer, and his government's, utter contempt for democracy, aided and abetted by the Tories?
The single most cowardly act of any PM or governing party
Shows he's running scared.
Well Well Well , WEFMinster really are running scared , if this doesn't show people just WHO is really calling the shots , nothing will , Starmer and Badenoch , hand in hand , both Davos Devotees , Go Figure .
I can think of plenty of others but this is right up there.

All our political class has is cowardice. They know they cannot lead, they are employees of the rest of the world and will sacrifice anything to not lose their cushy job, The pension is just too good.
Absolutely!!! If they were doing any good for the country they should not try to cancel the elections
No vote, no council tax
As if you’re going to do that.

Starmer knows he has lost. NO one in any party should have the right to cancel an election

As much as I hate to say so, cat does have a point; parliament, under our constitution (which before anyone says it i know is not codifed as it is in the USA but exists all the same) is supreme. This is why we have the (so-called) revision chamber in the upper house. That being said in this case there may be a possibility of judicial review.
Conservative councils are on board with this as well .. running scared of reform … disgusting behaviour
Traitors!
ELECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE CANCELLED. THERE HAS TO BE A LOOPHOLE OR STATUTE TO BE APPLIED HERE. PEOPLE FGS GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS!!
👍👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
The two main parties are running scared especially the leader of the main party , he knows that NF and his party are gaining traction and people are sitting up and taking notice of the party that will save the Uk , little does the PM know he’s turning people towards NF party in stopping these council elections

Britian is broken and needs reform, REFORM UK. Today, tomorrow and for the future of this conutry.
Wht should we pay council tax without voting representation?
Exactly. No taxation without representation.
Roatanlova you are absolutely 1000% spot on here. I totally agree with you.
@@paulineashcroft1485 brilliant! Maybe we should make a stand as the public, after all its us it affects.
@@FionaHedgespeople did last summer and were arrested in there hundreds while the grooming gangs walk free. We the English people no longer have a voice. We are second class citizens in are own country. Withhold any payments to the government but make sure you send letters or you will be arrested (unless Muslim or brown)
@ what I mean is if the 10 mill people get a petition with regards to having no say in representation then they will have to comply or it would look even more shocking to countries outside the eu then it does already.. makes my blood boil that they take the attitude of ruling over us and not serving us like a dictatorship
Nigel take legal action
Please nigel legal action znd win please. Show the b up.then see lots more I them county's might wake up and vote a labour an cons out
This act is an admission that Labour know that they are going to lose the local elections
All those voters need to withhold council tax payments until they get to choose representation and send letters saying so. It is simply outrageous.
disgraceful flouting of the system.......shameless
Write to your MP.
I think your idea is right .. the council tax is one that we control how and if we pay it , and them putting it up means they are desperate for our money … no vote no council tax money.
I don't pay by direct debit. I make my council wait. If they cancel elections in my area, payment will be completely withheld until I do.
Email to council, cc your MP
Can there not be a legal challenge against this ?????
Who made this decision who is the offender. We need a lawyer
Costs money.
@@davidharwood9552Starmer is the one who has called for these elections in certain areas to be cancelled and the councils in the areas have agreed with it , so I say if there’s no election with your favourite party on the ballot paper then withhold the rise they’ll put on your council tax , hit it where it hurts
Judicial review might be possible but that does not necessarily affect the policy. In the areas affected there is doubtless the required locus standi and it would indeed be interesting if a body such as Reform UK were to instigate such, rather than launch another hopeless petition.
How low can Starmer and his cronies go. The British Patriots have had enough and democracy should not be challenged.
What can be done about it though? The only thing is people withholding council tax payments until they have representation and are able to vote in who they want running their local services.

I have written to my MP about this, I will not be paying my council tax until I am given my right to my democratic vote. Everyone write to your MP and tell them you refuse to pay your Council Tax.
But won't they fine us?

Starmer will do anything to stay in power.

I hope we can wake up from this nightmare.
End of democracy, well done Labour voters.
No Tax without representation!!!!
Magna Carta, Blair probably scrapped that along with treason.
I thought Governments work for the people not totally against the people
They only work against the people in socialism and communism.
Democratic governments work for the people.
Contact your MP , No democratic vote for the councillor you want in your area , no council tax is paid
Not for the last several decades.

Give the people the vote on this, no messing around either yes or no ( absolutely disgraceful )
Labour gets more and more authoritarian and draconian, the U.K is quickly approaching a third world economy and the people keep complaining but nothing changes and nothing will.
Not if the people don’t take action , no vote for the councillor of choice , no tax paid . Contact your MP
This country is crazy. I wish I could leave!
Unbelievable..... my god..❤ from Amsterdam.
Thank you I do fear that pretty soon it will become difficult to keep getting this kind of information out however with the help of others from abroad it can still be commented on sending much love to you ❤️

Disgraceful, i want to vote 🤬
Did you vote in the last council elections ? I did and I voted Reform. Very low turnout though. All of a sudden people are realising that their vote does count.
Same here...disgraceful labour voters...sheep
@MarionGolbourn yes I did, but I'm even more desperate now to vote now as I want them to lose seats
Please explain why King Charles can't tell the Labour to piss off because they had no right to get rid of the Chagos Islands
Because he is in the WEF club, and a chum of Starmer.
He doesn't care about the people. The royal family doesn't give a damn. None of the royal family care.

A WEF supporter and In the pdf file club.
He is a weak woke idiot who likes to talk to plants.
I don't think it matters how many local elections are cancelled. People will still vote unanimously for Reform UK in the next General Election. This is assuming that Starmer doesn't cancel the next General Election in 2029!
They'll be another 10 million 'voters' here by then.
Don't put it past him, or some move to outlaw Reform like the German government is trying with AfD.
if they can cancel local elections.. what makes you think you'll get a general one?
i've said for some time now that elections will disappear..

No election..People should stop paying there council tax then ..we want are democratic right to vote.
Surely now enough is enough!

Need to get this out there and make sure these elections are held. No excuses!!
people who arew in councils where their vote has been taken away should refuse to pay any council tax.
Get a survey done in each of these areas to establish voting intentions. This will reinforce the whole story about cancelling democracy.....
they are not even hiding it they think the voters are all donkeys , we 87 percent of us......joke of a gov , worst in my 59 years by a long way already.

No democratic vote in May? NO council tax will we pay! Pass it on!
My constituency has a Labour MP.
This MP is also a Labour councillor who ,I believe despite now being an MP will not give up their position as councillor as that would necessitate an election and Reform might win ,.
Democracy in action
Surely that's illegal? 😮
Someone needs to take the government to court.
The people can take back their councils and run them themselves, the government work for the people, they need to remember that!
I cannot accept this is lawful. People in high places must be able to do something.
It’s gerrymandering and should be called out for what it is. Reform should take legal action on behalf of those constituents who are being denied the ability to choose the councillors of their choice.
Reform UK probably have the wherewithall to instigate a judicial review.
His a liar by profession or hasn’t anyone realised that.
As expected, the uni-party working together with Badenoch doing what Starmer wants, in other 'professions' it's called, mutual aid.
Colluding against the electorate. They are terrified of Reform and rightly so. I am utterly disgusted with the uniparty. This will not end well for them
It shouldn’t be allowed to cancel
Well this act has guaranteed reform getting 1000s more supporters!
Starmer must be removed , there has to be a legal way he can be forced out, its insane he can get away with this
They will never ever ever EVER get back into power again ever😳🏴🏴🏴
If we can’t vote for our councillor of choice in our area , no council tax will be paid . Contact your MP and tell him this is wrong cancelling a voting system
