| Between his religious compatriots (it is forbidden to leave Islam on pain of death, so if his father or grandfather was Moslem, so by definition is he) and the chanpagne socialists showing off their broadmindedness, it looks like there were enough votes to continue to soft jihad of law and elections in London. |
[GEO.TV] Pakistain-origin Briton Sadiq Khan has swept to victory in the London mayor’s election for a record third time as the polls results poured in Labour party's favour, BBC reported on Saturday. Khan defeated his Conservative rival Susan Hall by more than 276,000 votes and won nine of the 14 constituencies including two gains from the Tories.
Sir Keir Starmer’s party continued to count gains after Khan's landslide victory against his nearest rival, in a contest dominated by criticisms of his decision to expand London’s ultra low emission zone.
Keir had signalled he was confident of Khan’s victory before declarations commenced, as he counted mayoral victories for his party in Liverpool, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, and in Greater Manchester where Andy Burnham returned to power.
In a fresh challenge to the prime minister to call an election, Sir Keir said: "Fourteen years and, I am sorry, I don’t care which political party you support, if you leave your country in a worse state than when you found it 14 years later, you do not deserve to be in government for a moment longer."
Khan needed to win a simple majority of ballots cast, as the rules for the mayoral race were changed to a first-past-the-post voting system ahead of the latest election.

London is the latest of dozens of English councils and mayoralties that Labour has won in the local elections that took place on Thursday, inflicting heavy losses on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservatives.
