Although there is still electoral precendent you can compare again - Cumbria County Council (which it basically replaced) returned 44% Tory (26% Labour, 18% Lib Dem) in its last election before being scrapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't bore you with local politics, but this result should come as no surprise whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 First Scottish results suggest that the Tories are being handed an absolute kicking. Would be interesting to see how it plays out if Labour starts to take the mantle of the "priority-is-stayin-in-the-UK-not-independence" Scottish voter, a group which the Tories have more or less had sewn up for the last decade or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Solihull would have changed would have been to No Overall COntrol by the Tories losing every single one of the 18 seats up for election (1 ward had 2), the majority was 18 before these results EDIT: English councils (Not London) elect 3 Councillors per ward on a 4 yearly basis.

juanpabloangel18 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Sky News has now presented its overall assessment of the results. Like the BBC, it tries to assess what would have happened if there had been elections in all of Britain, instead of just in certain areas. But it focuses on trying to assess what that would mean if people had voted in a general election in the same way, and it says the Conservatives would be the largest party - but almost 50 seats short of a majority. Here are the projections. Conservatives: 278 seats (down 87 on 2019) Labour: 271 (up 68) SNP: 50 (up 2) Lib Dems: 23 (up 12) A general election outcome like this would almost certain lead to Keir Starmer becoming prime minister. The SNP and the Lib Dems would definitely vote down a Johnson government, but might consider supporting a minority Labour government in some form or another (or at least not voting it out immediately.) What do the Tories have to do for people to stop voting for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) I saw the results for Tamworth, whilst the Tories only lost one seat (was 8/10, now 7/10) Many of their wins were quite close. I wonder if one Boris’s chief arse kissers Christopher Pincher MP is nervous enough to distancing himself yet from his criminal boss.
