Local Election Results IV
It has been a good night for the Conservatives. That much is clear.
And it has been a bad night for Labour. Nothing that has happened in these local elections can be claimed to have been a good thing for Labour.
As for the Lib Dems, well, they’ve done nothing really. The only good thing for them is that their projected national vote share is higher than Labour’s, even if it is lower than their level last year. But as for the numbers of councillors and councils, nothing has happened in any real direction for them.
It is now 3am and time for me to go to bed, as I have been up with 5.30 thing morning, delivering leaflets to try and encourage people to go out and vote [preferably Conservative, of course]. And since I have to work tomorrow as well, I need to sleep.
But I shall leave you with some predictions for the morning:
- Conservative gains will be just under 200 councillors
- Labour losses will be between 150 and 200 councillors
- Lib Dems will neither gain or lose more than 10 councillors
And WebCameron has an interesting look at the developing situation from within CCHQ - even if it is more than two hours behind time:
