Caroline Woodley won the Labour selection. This opens up an interesting question about her council seat if she wins the mayoral race, it only went Labour in 2022 by 111 votes over the Liberal Democrats. |

This opens up an interesting question about her council seat if she wins the mayoral race, it only went Labour in 2022 by 111 votes over the Liberal Democrats. If Zoe wins (a gargantuan if), we’ll likely get a Dalston by-election. The Greens won the most votes there in 2022, and it was their best ward in the London mayoral race (17%). By the way, here’s the 2022 result in Hackney: Labour Co-op Philip Glanville* 36,049 59.1% Green Zoë Garbett 10,373 17.0% Conservative Oliver Hall 8,160 13.4% Liberal Democrats Helen Baxter 4,320 7.1% Hackney People Before Profit Gwenton Sloley 2,105 3.5% Turnout 61,007 34.1% Labour Co-op hold *incumbent The Greens need a 21.06% swing to take this from Labour. The De Beauvoir by-election in July 2022 saw a 16.9% swing from Labour to Green. |

Should a sitting councillor be elected, and that seems certain, I'm sure it automatically triggers a by-election. You can't serve both as Mayor and as a councillor.

Did you read my earlier post? 'Gargantuan if'You're biased as a Labour supporter though? I am non-aligned and trying to be objective. E.g. I'm voting Green here but Khan in May. You downplayed Tory chances in Harrow IIRC? Then they went on to take the council in 2022. I'll take what you say with a shovel of salt I think. |

Calm down weld. It's blindingly obvious to everyone else (including Green supporters) that the Green Party cannot win the London Mayoralty & there was no "gargantuan if" in your last comment.

And to be fair the great majority of posters here of all parties & none downplayed the Conservatives' chances in Harrow last year. I certainly did. Colin has great knowledge of Harrow local elections & deserves a little respect. One extremely authoritative source downplayed Labour's chances in Wandsworth last year, but that doesn't mean that he deserves disrespect, either.

The point about Harrow is that there was similar chatter about the Tories taking it in 2018, but that ultimately didn't come to anything. Once bitten twice shy etc.

Could you please use the quote function more often? Also, it’s a trick question as she’d be the Mayoress, surely? |

Jón Gnarr differs from the Green Party in that he was actually a credible candidate.

As we saw in Bedford, the new Mayor would be disqualified from his office as councillor the second they sign their Mayoral acceptance of office. |

A Mayoress is a female consort of a Mayor. Technically, I think the Mayoress is the consort of the Mayor regardless of gender. It is possible to have a female Mayor and a male Mayoress. |
