Liberal Democrats The Government’s delay of mayoral elections is a disgrace



<[link removed]>




Dear John,

Yesterday, the Government announced that elections for four newly-created
mayors in England will be delayed until 2028, in a shameful act that denies
democracy to millions of people.

Delaying these elections is a disgrace.

Especially in the grips of a cost-of-living crisis and when local services
are stretched to breaking point. People deserve to have their voices heard.

We Liberal Democrats believe that local communities know what is best for
them. To deny communities a say on how they are governed is to ignore their
concerns and treat them with disdain.

We all know Labour delayed these elections to save their own skin - the
public are fed up with their failure in government. They did the same earlier
this year, backed by the Conservatives, when elections for reorganised councils
were delayed.

Thankfully, these will now go ahead this coming May, despite Conservative
council leaders yet again calling for their postponement.

John, we must end this blatant stitch up between the Conservatives and Labour,
and give millions of people their vote back in May.

Please sign our petition to end this election stitch up and share it with your
friends and family.
