Already
from Ch4HDNews report last week
Conservatives knocking on doors
have been Punched.

No Brexit Party in 4 days
they did not have time to set up their party
they are having their impact on May the 23rd
The EU Elections.

Many are saying the Conservatives will lose
the most in this local Elections,

The reports of abuse and if right,being punched is a disgrace.

Some people, hopefully a minority,claim to believe in democracy but it seems only if they get ALL their own way as to it.

It doesn't work that way, all along the way compromise, readjusting and finding the right and fair way has to be worked out.

Once people turn to abuse and punching, they help kill democracy not build it up.

That's fair enough

[Underscore]

Lib Dems expected to mop up the Tories, especially as they do much better in locals and the Tories vote has dropped so significantly. Labour won't do well in posh rural areas

[Underscore]

Obviously wouldn't hold these on a pedestal as it is local and, well... it isn't national voting but

This would put the Lib Dems back to a pre-2011 position in this wave of locals (if my calculations are right).

Yes Labour can not take every zone.

But its not for sure
LibDems will mop up as you would love.

Trouble is
many are refusing to vote
which is terrible


And
[the new party Change UK (were called the Independents)
did not register in time to put up candidates for the local elections.]

My belief as well Chuff.
But the lot that are up locally just aren’t worth my cross.
I will be voting in the forthcoming MEP elections if they take place, and the much needed general election.

Just England Map
of the 2019 , May local Elections


From Ridge Politics SkyNewsHD 9AM - 10AM
The fella that has being doing the Elections since 1989
said this a Election in some places
that in 2015 would have had UKIP MP's
but now in 2019 they have only a few councilors
So it is "mainly" Labour Vs Conservative
and some LibDems.
