These results aren't anything to get excited about for any party imo...

Happy that the Lib Dems have won Richmond (that swing though!) as well as holding onto their other councils

But this by far isn't a result to get excited about but any gain is a good thing...

Corbyn is going down to Plymouth
today , the the one big change
Labour took from the Conservatives.


He is in Plymouth now

UKIP gained a council seat in Telford

Awful results for Labour and UKIP

How have we not yet learned that the local elections indicate absolutely nothing about the direction of UK politics though? Like... They never are. Ever. And yet every time, they're treated like they're an accurate public poll .

The demographics that are inclined to vote in local elections vs general elections are wildly different.

if labour were on the up, you would expect them to start taking back the 4k seats they previously lost. That is the norm mid term, so is a good indication of where the parties currently sit.

It appears many young folks did not bother to vote
and before yesterday
many got sick of Labour going on and on
about the Torys and Nothing Else?

At this time now , The next
General Election is 5th of May 2022
Long way away

Yes those Political Broadcasts
all about the Torys
be far better for Labour to lay out their own future plans.

Downbeat broadcasts , I would say.

So it appears due to the demise of UKIP
that has boosted the Conservative vote,
2nd time this has gone done like this.

Brexit up North
Matters, it appears.

Poor Tories

154 less right wing councillors, and 83 more left wing councillors is only a good thing for the country atm.
