Jmothecat2 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I don't know that it was that bad a result for Labour. I think their problem is they raised expectation with bold claims about all the councils they were apparently going to take, some of which have never been Labour or haven't been Labour since the 1970s. They had an Ok night as far as I can gather, it just looks worse I think due to the high expectations they inexplicably set themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Until Labour can come up with, and offer a coherent and workable alternative to the government's brexit plans they can not be taken seriously.

Cerberus Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Solid backing for pro-Brexit parties though. As much as it's a horrible nightmare the sizable majority of the English want Brexit and to give the EU a damn good licking, 27 sore bottoms to one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single Labour council has been found to have used cladding on high rise buildings though, it being a specifically Tory policy. Or something like that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour is pro Brexit, the only anti Brexit party was the LDs. And local elections are usually local issues it normally older voters who still read the local paper and get their gussets in a twist about 20mph speed limits and the like who go out to vote in the locals. Whats more I will bet that barring a major shift in national polls the LDs will not do as well in a General Election as they do in the locals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English voted for their independence from the EU and foreigners in England voted against separation? The English need to go all the way and have a vote for independence from the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
