Perverse Impacts?

What goes around, comes around. As the Greater London Council and the Metropolitan County Councils were abolished because Labour kept winning them, so Police and Crime Commissioners are to be abolished because, as was the reason for their creation, Conservatives have tended to win them.

And because Reform UK had been on course to win a lot of them, which might have caused it to rethink its policy of abolition. Reform no longer talks about Proportional Representation for the House of Commons, does it? That's politics.
