Local Election Results

As it stands at the moment, Labour are being battered, Conservatives are +8, Labour -2, Lib Dems -1 in terms of councils.

I am really glad that Labour are being smacked about because I really think they need to get the message.

I also hope Boris wins in London, its absolutely needed to get Ken out, Boris might appear to be a buffoon but I think he is the right medicine for the needs of London.

BNP have got +4 seats....

Battered? Talk of worst result in history and behind the Lib Dems? That's not battered, that's getting their innards ripped out and handed back to them, and rightly so. How things change so quickly from talk of snap elections. Admittedly some of the effect is down to things like the credit crunch which certainly didn't help, but the whole 10p tax thing hit their own supporters hardest and they've reaped the consequences.

As for Boris, I haven't really followed the London Mayoral Election so don't know his policies (I don't buy the buffoonery though - while he certainly has a natural tendency in that direction he's used that to his advantage). I'm not going to advocate kicking Red Ken out on a whim as it seems if nothing else he's got London noticed again (terrorism aside).

Lib Dems lost Liverpool, 'persuaded' an independant, and just regained Liverpool.

Ken's a **** and I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. ANYTHING would be better than him. I actually quite like Borris, he has personality and charisma - ok not necessarily what is needed to be London mayor but it's good enough for me. IMHO I don't think we should have any mayor in London anyway and do what Tatcher tried to do back in the 80s.

Greebo ate my voting card. Portsmouth are NOC again.

You know there are more than 2 candidates yeah?

BBx · 02-05-2008, 14:46

Well how do you think I managed to vote then?

Will · 02-05-2008, 16:40

Definitely not Ken and Borris I would guess?!

BBx · 02-05-2008, 16:51

Maybe, maybe not

I was very tempted to vote English Democrats for Mayor so that I would get my birthday off!
