Is Britain actually a democracy?
Andy Burnham won in Makerfield, then Keir Starmer resigned.
And now it looks like Andy Burnham is about to become Labour leader and Prime Minister unopposed.
Labour MPs seem like a united front, but how can a man who won just 0.03 per cent of the public vote, who was voted for by a total of 24,000 people have a mandate as PM?
And if he’s unopposed, he won’t really have to tell us what his policies are before he strides into Downing Street.
Yesterday, Nigel Farage called for a general election.
For decades the British public has voted for several things - lower immigration, a stop to illegal immigration and lower taxes.
And every single time we’ve been ignored. In fact, our governments have done the opposite.

It’s 10 years to the day that the Great British public voted for Brexit, and our politicians spent years trying to overturn it or making an absolute mess of it.
We’ve had seven Prime Ministers in 10 years. Even by third world standards, having a leader that only 24,000 people voted for is ridiculous.
Keir Starmer’s manifesto was a giant picture of him with the word ‘change’ on it. People voted for him.
Now he’s gone, and this guy who didn’t even run with Labour logos during parts of his campaign is about to wander into Downing Street and rule over us.
He’s all over the place on immigration policy, on the EU, on taxes, on everything.
If I was the Tories and Reform, I would be a bit cautious about calling for a snap general election, because they might find Burnham is surprisingly popular in the short term.
But as far as the British public are concerned - a Burnham premiership is not democracy, is it? And we have a right to demand a vote.
