An Observer Poll
has Labour getting more level

Local Elections are this Thursday (Last Year they cancelled them)
best to take your own pen or pencil.


I will be going very early.

Some results may not come until the following Monday.

Will Covid effect the Turnout, many think it could.

I'm not expecting to be celebrating much, if anything over this weekend from these elections.

I hope Labour retain power in the Welsh assembly, overall they've done well in Wales in the pandemic.

I would love to see Nicola Sturgeon with the SNP get a repeat result of last time or just get those extra seats to win something, that was thought likely impossible under PR, to get an overall majority.

I can't believe up in the North East another seat will fall to the Cons.
Really strange to reject a Con party in 2019.
To now add to it's power to be more heartless to the weakest in society.

Politics is a strange and crazy mess all through at present
We need PR now for ALL elections.
It's only Parliamentary and council ones that don't use PR in some way now.
