The Conservatives have done good, they remain where they were in 2007 (from the figures of 2003) and at the election last year.
Labour has done in fairness considerably better,in 2007 they lost 500+ councillors, they have gained so far nearly 700, that means they are in a better position than in 2003,they went on to win an election in 2005 with figures worse than these.
It's an absolute disaster for the Lib Dems and takes them back decades.They still cannot get the voters who trusted them are so angry with them for their turanround completely on major policies and promises.
Even the massive council of Birmingham nearly went to full Labour control, they were only 6 seats away from taking it outright.
