Manchester Mayor Election 30th July

This market been all over place so far. Greens and restore matched for pennies at 1000. Restore are running so I guess they'll be backed. George Galloway running too.

Not sure they're ahead of the greens here as main challenger. The council seats that Escapee posted suggest not, and the greens sort of stood down in Burnham's seat to prioritise this one.

I think Restore is already washed up and past it's peak.

6%, 3,000 votes in Makerfield, Guesstimate cost per vote for elmo was about £2,000 per voter.

I know he's the world richest man, but 3,000 votes from throwing maximum resources at it, it'll bore him.

We need a top 2 meerkat.

Maybe even a top 3, and top 4

And top first round vote.

C'mon betfair...

Under the Supplementary Vote system that is being used in this election, I can't see any way that Reform can win.

Candidates must enter by 3rd July.

Strong Restore candidate selected here.

Maybe the BBC interviewer has contacted them for comment.

Reconsidering their positions, perhaps, lol.

Sian Astley now confirmed as the Reform candidate.

Probably more capable than Rob Kenyon of stringing three words together - but then, who isn't?

Property developer - so - never gonna let you down.

Price Rick likely?

Are Reform going to put a lot of effort into this or are they just dead in the water?

I think Mancs will see it that with Burnham as PM and a labour mayor they will get showered with government cash

The No 10 in Manchester is probably a gimmick but might play out well

I see someone has now got matched at 27s on Reform on here.

Why should there be a general election.

Same old boring tosh, it's not how it works.

Wasn't long ago I was having to explain Burnham would only resign if he was elected as an mp.

Why are refuk doing so badly in betting, is this
a new tactic, where the mad manipulator
shortens them as the vote draws nearer
to feign momentum.?

Thought it would be closer. Albeit system disadvantages extreme parties.

Pointless posting anything anymore Donnie , the percentage of posts Not appearing is increasing for no reason I can see TBH

doesnt happen on other forums ,summat wrong with the Mod software on here

Not just this forum.

12+ Reform now.

Looks like Reform UK Ltd have returned to the "no hoper also rans" section less than 3 months after winning control of large numbers of Manchester councils.
