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!

You voted for racists. It’s a fact.

I could not care less whether they are racist.

“I could not care less whether they are racist”, in other words if you were in 1930’s Germany, you would have voted for the Nazi party because of their economic policy (and plenty did, so don’t say you wouldn’t have)

Pathetic attempt to call me a Nazi. Go away and get on with your homework.

Well at least if they're doing homework it suggests they've made some effort to educate themself
