Jo Anderson elected Mayor of Liverpool

My heart sank until I realised it was Joanne and not Joe making a comeback.

First black women to lead a major british city. No idea of her politics but an achievement!

I think the good governance in politics requires a good opposition to test ideas and ask difficult questions.

I made a flippant remark which wasn't intended to start a big debate so I will not respond with my thoughts on what the lying corrupt Johnson has to offer in the field of 'good governance'!
That's exactly the point though. Without a good opposition you won't see good governance.

Labour also blocked the three original candidates running, one of whom (Rothery) would otherwise have been the first black female mayor etc etc

That was because each of them could have been/and still be implicated in the ongoing investigations. Each of them held positions of seniority in what was a corrupted administration.

I was rooting for Stephen yip as the better candidate. Cant remember the last time the labour party even door knocked prior to an election.
