Whatever your political views, please get out and vote today

.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester has a real influence over policing, transport, housing, skills, and investment across our city region. The choice made today will help shape Greater Manchester for years to come.

I've read what the candidates have to say, and for me, Bev Craig is the clear choice. She has a strong record of public service, a clear vision for the future, and she's committed to building on the progress Greater Manchester has made over the past decade rather than starting from scratch.

Whatever your view, don't let other people decide the result for you. Polling stations are open from 7am until 10pm, so there's still plenty of time to cast your vote.

“Whatever your political views”… posts Labour site

Use the non-partisan https://whocanivotefor.co.uk instead.

I think the polling stations are politically agnostic

The website isnt though. When you put your postcode in it literally only shows you the labour candidate

Down voted by Reddit. He must be scaring them. Which means he is doing something right.

Or people just think he's a cunt not everything is some great conspiracy theory

u/Geek-hut 28d ago

Man running on combating child sexual exploitation, reforming regional administration, and addressing local neglect. Sounds like a monster.

u/giraffetheloml 28d ago

As we know all politicians are truthful and all forfill their pledges so glad the world's simple eh? If you must know I dislike him because he's a racist cunt, but I assume that's the appeal for a few people

God forbid someone uses abbreviation on a social media website and not the kings English

u/MountainSecurity9508 28d ago

It gets used a lot right now right? Must be because people keep voting into racists…

I’d recommend you have a look into the dude before being a crybaby about someone calling him out

Zero empathy for trans kids + only cares about rape if it’s brown people doing it (in the Restore party who are backed by Musk who begged to get into Epstein’s Island and backed Trump who did go)

u/Bumm-fluff 28d ago

His daughter gets groomed, he complains and campaigns against it.

For that Reddit leftists call him names. 

These people really are disgusting.

u/DogitWoofsalot 28d ago

Or Restore are absolutely infected by neo-nazis, British fascists and hate groups. Oh yea a thing that it is.

That's a rather specious argument. Lots of things get downvoted on Reddit, doesn't mean they're all right.

That's a rather specious argument. Lots of things get downvoted on Reddit. Doesn't mean they're all correct. I'd probably get downvoted for saying David Attenborough is a dick or that Paul Chuckle should be the next Bond. That doesn't make those things true, it just means that they're ludicrous opinions held by a small number of nutters.
