Oh neat another green got voted in to my local council

Interestingly in the same ward as the one last year. I genuinely thought that was a COMPLETE fluke.

They apparently got 50% of the vote though so go them

My ward has actually re-elected the Labour councillor originally elected in 2018.

This surprised me then but I could pin to Corbyn's rise of popularity I guess???

2021's election the Lib Dems retained their seat (with a healthy majority) so that Labour councillor must be genuinely touching base with their constituents.

Also if you're wondering why I have so many elections to cite it's because my council fucking does things sensibly and assigns three councillors to a ward and elects them on a rotating basis

It's still dismally FPtP but honestly it does mean the council is a better barometer of how the borough feels. Well, those of us that vote in local elections.

Also I do think these results would, unless Labour make some serious headway in unannounced seats probably swings the council from a NOC (Labour Minority Administration as of last year) to LibDem?

Who knows for sure lol

Not me! I'm not a political statistician

Oh fucking hell the Tories lost a councillor in the posh area to the LibDems

Amazing sweetie. Hack away their numbers further :)

UK pol, local election rambling 

I'm not a LibDem supporter but I'm absolutely a Not-Tory supporter :)

UK pol, local election rambling 

ahahahaa another Tory is out they're down to 6 councillors now 8D

UK pol, local election rambling 

Just one ward left, the other posh as fuck area

Will they go like the other posh area and not vote Tory (as much) and let another party in leaving 5

And more importantly, no tories elected this cycle to my council 83c?

UK pol, local election rambling 

21 seats up for election in my council, and even the posh areas didn't vote Tory.

Fuck yeah fuck yeah.
