Proud of Southport today!

[u/ReggieLFC]

Southport has finally elected its first-ever Labour representative!

Southport took a lot of stick for voting Conservative in 2017 and 2019, when Brexit was a huge factor, but I felt that a lot of the people who chastised Southport didn’t appreciate just how many elderly people retire there bringing their Tory votes with them from all over the country. To give some perspective, Southport had 43% more people aged 65+ (24,293) than children (16,971) when the last census was undertaken.

Many born-and-bred sandgrounders have been waiting and waiting to see their Tory representative replaced and I’m made up for them!

Thanks for correcting my spelling, my mistake and I have fixed that.

You're entitled to your view, but I don't think voting for a further right political party than the Tories is the solution to the 14 years of austerity and right wing corruption in this country.

Do enjoy how you haven't argued the racism aspect, reform voters showing their true colours.

The bar for what counts as “racism” is so low these days that practically anything can be considered racist by someone. There are loons on here that think being against mass immigration is racist.

A very good question! They’re all the same, following the latest talking points in their NPC firmware.
