THE first act of new Reform MP Sarah Pochin, who won Runcorn and Helsby by six votes, is to forbid recounts.
Having secured a landslide victory over Labour with a crushing six-person margin, Ms Pochin has locked in her stunning success by immediately forbidding electoral recounts.
She said: “Recounts are democracy’s version of VAR. They slow everything down and everyone hates them. It’s just common sense to shitcan them.
“Just as Brexit was the will of the people, my by-election victory is a resounding mandate from my constituents. This doesn’t mean I’ll get drunk with power, but I’ll be pushing for traitors who voted for other parties to be deported.
“Yes, I only clinched victory due to a recount, but that’s besides the point. Labour could have vetoed them and remained in power but they chose not to.
“This is in no way undemocratic. Think of banning recounts as ‘taking back control’, only it’s from rules that hinder Reform, not the EU.
“You’ll be seeing a lot more of that if we get any real power, which is unlikely as we tend to be self-serving twats who never visit our constituency. Thanks for voting for me!”
