OH NO !!! This can't be true..

Poor li'l Deano's been telling anybody who would listen over this past week or two, just how spiffingly the Tories are travelling -- and how Labour, the LibDems and the Greens are all heading for certain extinction.

Irn is rather loose with the truth.

Wolfie what do you know about Labour, Liberals and the Greens?

Not a lot by the sound of it!!

the problem with interpreting these council sets wins as a surge in any direction is that the usually constitute a few hundred votes with a couple of handful of votes either way constituting a double digit increase/fall.

but if it makes you feel better in your safe space so be it.

good to see your understanding of local politics is as good as the rest of your knowledge.

not exactly good for labour?

a handful of votes is not going to win labour the election, and the way their conference is going it will be lucky to have as many mp's as the ld's in 2020
just to reiterate
ICM General Election poll:
CON 41% (nc)
LAB 26% (-2)
UKIP 14% (+1)
LD 8% (-1)
Green 4% (nc)

council elections mean nowt when general election intents are being discussed in any case

people will vote for councillors on a far different agenda to what they will vote for an MP...

to give some perspective here are the actual results for
Teignmouth Central

Alison Margaret Liberal Democrats 491 51.1% (+28.3) up 120ish
HARVEY, Steven UKIP 111 11.6% (+11.6) up about 10ish
MAYLAM,Nicholas Ralph The Conservative Party 286 29.8% (-12.6)down around 30ish
TIPPER, Malcolm Labour Party 72 7.5% (-8.7) down about 6ish

the turnout in that ward was 25%

hardly the sign of a popular uprising

the 2 other wards in that local election also had turnouts of about 25%

one interesting point is malcom tipper lab stood in 2 wards, didn't know you can do that

Christchurch (Allerdale) result:

Atkinson, Eric William UK Independence Party (UKIP) 32
Ellis, Joan Lilian Labour Party 324 ELECTED
Nicholson, Simon William Conservative and Unionist Party 206
Taylor, Debbie Michelle Liberal Democrats 234

Turnout: 36%

yay a decisive win for labour with 324 votes

or as %ages would have it
LAB: 40.7% (+5.8 )
LDEM: 29.4% (+20.0)
CON: 25.9% (-19.3)
UKIP: 4.0% (+4.0)
