Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
10 April St Anns Byelection - help oust Labour
Remember to vote or Labour will get in again and it will be the same old story for a few more years.
The Greens nearly won last time and only need a handful more votes to get across the line.
And remember to take ID.

WILL Labour dismiss this as a freak By-Election result, just a free hit at the Ruling Group (and Government)?
Will Labour believe that this result will be reversed in 12 months time at the full local elections?
Or will it be seen as a turning of the tide?
One of my friends—a former Labour Councillor (Alan Stanton)—recommends the book:
Ruling the Void: The Hollowing of Western Democracy by Peter Mair

They will blame it on the 'disloyalty' of Tammy Hymas, whose resignation triggered the byelection, and will make her life hell.

I spoke to someone who claimed to see Tammy Hymas going to vote. They described her as seeming to be in good spirits.
"Make her life hell"? Why put words in her mouth? Ask her. I know lots of people who have resigned from Labour - me included. Didn't stop cross-party friendships.

I see what you did there Alan. Very good.

It was the election for a single seat in a ward. Although I’m delighted to see the Greens winning a seat I don’t think a lot can be read into it.

The first and final sentences are straight from the handbook. 2 credits to your compliance ledger comrade.

What are you wittering on about?

The highest non-GE election day turnout for a by-election. A non-labour candidate almost doubling the votes of the party in power. But sure, Michael, let's not read into it. That would just be too uncomfortable.

Why would it be uncomfortable for me? I’m a member of the Green Party.

Congratulations on the conversion, but the point remains that this by-election was a plebiscite on the betrayal of the vulnerable in our society and the support of an ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Both were overwhelmingly rejected in the vote, and so it probably warrants a little more discussion and investigation than simply suggesting it's a one-off.
