CHESHIRE MATTERS OPINION: Yes Labour won the seat but turnout was low in comparison to the 2019 election results. Turnout was only 41.2% which represents 28,541 votes out of an electorate of approx. 65,000 eligible to vote. Labour should be asking some very searching questions as to how they lost 10,000 of their voters who voted in 2019 yet failed to turn up to vote for their candidate in this election. Well done to all the others candidates who stood, with a special mention for the Monster Raving Looney Party. Not an easy task to put your head above the parapet for what you believe in. We have encouraged the Raven to do this so that Stats, the Gazelle and myself can be ready with the Wack-a-Mole hammers to knock him down. In fact, we're also now campaigning to the Electoral Commission for all ballot papers to include a section to vote for 'None of the Above'. We wager voting numbers would swiftly rise!!!!

Enjoy!
