This is just so funny for Labour - hopefully the country is finally seeing the bad side of Labour.

Thatcher will be so pleased with this.

You need over 50%, if not the second preferences are taken as votes

 

[Rowdey]

Ooo, so where is THAT figure then..?

So you vote then chose a 2nd option ?

Yeah I'm sure Thatcher would have been over the moon about devolution and having an old Etonian like Boris is charge because she just LOVED them

You don't have to choose a second option, but yes.

You also have to vote for your "local" member of the assembly, and a london wide member of the assembly.

It's relatively complicated and sophisticated and therefore generally keeps the BNP vote down.
