    Last time I did not vote for him as he had the most sloganeering meaningless manifesto I had (and have even up to now) seen in my life. And he delivered according to the manifesto, i.e. slogans. This time I've already sent in my postal vote for him because 1) only he and the Labour candidate have any chances and the Labour candidate, amazingly, has an even worse record as PCC than Driscoll as mayor, 2) interestingly he has this time the best manifesto and 3) as a matter of course I felt obliged to vote against Labour purges if there is any chance to do so. If he wins, Starmer has some egg on his face. If Labour wins, we have a non-white male mayor better connected to the central govt so there may be better crumbs coming our way. Nothing to lose.

    Similar to Dennis Canavan in Scotland in 1999, despite him being a Scottish Labour MP for 25 years at Westminster, Labour refused to adopt him as their candidate for the Falkirk constituency for the then new Scottish Parliament.
    Dennis stood as an Independent Labour candidate and got the biggest majority in Scotland. Says it all really, Dennis was a terrific constituency MP, which is why he was elected. The UK could do with a lot more MPs of that calibre nowadays, instead of the self-serving cowboys that seem to dominate the headlines these days!
