"Second preference"? Is that a form of ranked choice voting for the London mayor?

London has had more terror attacks in the last 10 years than Jerusalem has. Europe as a whole now deals with Islamic terrorism while Israel gets sympathy for being surrounded by hostile Muslims. Lol, this is insane. The goal is push Arabs into Europe, alleviating the strain on Israel. Transferring the problem from the middle east to Europe. Don't believe me? Just watch.

"Second preference"? Is that a form of ranked choice voting for the London mayor?I've outlined this, before....
When you vote (here, in Oz as well as in Old Limey) you place a number next to your desired candidate. #1 to who you want. You also number your second/third/fourth...etc...choices. If your #1 pick doesn't get over the line...your #2 gets your vote and so on down the line. You CAN leave just a #1...and be done with it. An "x" is a tossed ballot.
We just made history in Oz. The two mainstay parties (Labor and The Liberal National Coalition) both fell short of victory. It took all the #2 votes from the gaggle of minor conservative parties to get The Liberals over the line. Now, The Nats MUST listen too the same voices of conservatism...or else.
Again..."Liberals" are the conservatives in Oz. Like everything...it's bassackwards to Up Ova.

London mayors should be called Ron or Smiler and not like someone from the East Side of the Suez Canal.
Poor old Moonie was born on the reasonable side of London and doesn't want someone that sounds like a fare collector on a bus to be an ill-qualified or token mayor.

The reason all these Arabs and North Africans are flooding into Europe is nothing to do with Israel. The Barcelona Agreement of 1995, between the Eu and the North African Countries, which was kept secret for 10 years, promised EU citizenship to 50 million North Africans and respect for Islam, in exchange for control over resources. Only when they stopped keepign it secret in 2005 did the arabs and africans start flooding over the Mediterranean, safe in the knowledge they were invited and they wouldnt be stopped or deported. Which they havent been.

The British Empire was turned into The Commonwealth, which has more members now than the British Empire did. They were queueing up to join.

Khan is vile. It sickens me to my stomach this man is still Mayor.
The last time I lodged away in London was near Wimbledon at a place called Morden.
It was right near a huge mosque, more muzzies than you could count.
Morden is a district and town in south London, England, within the London Borough of Merton. It adjoins Merton Park and Wimbledon to the north, Mitcham to the east, Sutton to the south and Worcester Park to the west, and is around 8 miles south-southwest of Charing Cross

For me it’s a giant metropolis, a city designed just for the traffic light and speed camera.
Here is a tip for the uneducated, do not drive in Britain if you can help it, a camera will get you, there are literally thousands, traffic lights even have cameras, Motorways…hundreds of them…. They WILL get you.
I haven’t been fined for speeding since 2007 why? My wife buys and upgrades my sat nav regularly, to drive without a sat nav informing you where the speed cameras are is futile.
@Mr Mike you know you have lived amongst us.

Only when they stopped keepign it secret in 2005 did the arabs and africans start flooding over the Mediterranean, safe in the knowledge they were invited and they wouldnt be stopped or deported. Which they havent been.
The Barcelona meetings of 1995 were just the beginning of a series of measures designed to increase relationships between Mediterranean countries, and MENA countries. Israel is a member of these proceedings, and supported Sarkozy's insistence on a Mediterranean Union, which would have been modeled on the European Union, and assured open migration from the middle east directly into Europe with no snags or delays. Israel was the prime promoter of the idea, along with Sarkozy.
Israel is the primary supporter of migration from Arab countries to Europe, and regularly sends ships out to help migrants make it to Lampedusa, Italy. In Greece, Israel operates as many as 1400 NGOs that are funded by the Israeli government. The migrant camps of Lesbos are ran predominantly by Israelis, and there are more than a few American Jewish Zionists also involved, such as Arielle Ricker who was exposed as working with illegal smugglers in a documentary produced by Lauren Southern.

Not the least bit surprised. Even with all the third-world trash (the majority), the elites were probably doing all they can to rig the vote and keep their puppet in charge. They are no better off than most major American cities.
