Plea for doorknockers betrays fears about outcome
‘Red Tory’ Labour appears to be worried about the outcome of today’s London mayoral election. The party has sent out an email to members in London asking them to come out and knock on doors to get voters out, because ‘it’s closer than we thought’ – close enough that ‘the number of people who volunteer could decide who wins’:
The emails have even been sent to non-members who left the party years ago.
The email doesn’t say which party Labour thinks is running it close. With the election now run on a first-past-the-post basis, unless there has been a huge surge for another party, Londoners have been left with an choice between a racist, pro-genocide, pro-austerity party and another racist, pro-genocide, pro-austerity party – and many who might usually have held their nose to vote Labour may simply be staying home to follow Keir Starmer’s example by abstaining.
