Lib Dems always do well locally so it's not a big surprise, these are all the seats that were last contested in 2015 as well when they were at rock bottom so it left plenty of room for improvement

Yes no increase on MP's
Once OLD Vince buggers off
they may improve

[smudgie]

Good result for the public.
A kick up the backside for the two main parties.
Time to sort themselves out.
Independents doing well, alongside LD.
Will be interesting to see the EU results with the Brexit party involved.

Ugh. I voted Labour, but simply as our local MP is amazing, hes held the area for like 20 years now and really does seem to listen and help with stuff that he can. I felt ****ing dirty doing it which is a bizarre feeling for me given I have always voted Labour. I cannot do in in whatever General comes up though. Unless theres some large changes made before then which I doubt :/

I think that is fair enough, I don't think people should vote with Brexit in mind in local elections, they should vote for the person who will do most in the community

Yeah its what locals are about for sure. I was tempted by some new independant candidate that popped up though, but i have had much personal help from the Labour one that the chance wasn't worth it, not that I can see him ever losing his seat anyway. Plus the independant leaflets seemed to be a LOT of spin..rather than stuff tha can actually be done (I mean, she promised an extra 2m funding for our local area if she got in? AFAIK, thats not in her power at all)

The problem is, support in locals seems to be made out to be support for the party in general. And while some may well vote that way, surely most don't and realise that its..kind of a different thing?!

Saying the same Script she spoke in Wales
