Bernard for The Greens only lost by 41 votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I make it that if the ward results are repeated next year Labour will lose 8 councillors, so they would be short of a majority. Postscript: though they would win one back in Stocksbridge, so would be only one seat short of a majority.

So decided to pick a candidate outside of the Tory, Labour, Libdem bunch. At least someone got my vote, even though they had a snowball in hell's chance of getting elected.  Angel1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thinking about spoiling your ballot paper or telling people on the internet  that you were thinking about spoiling it.  What are you?

taxman   12 #118 Posted May 3, 2019 Both May and Corbyn have claimed that the results are due to the public being fed up with Brexit and just wanting them to "get on with it".  If that was the case I'd have expected a surge in votes for parties supporting Brexit, that didn't happen.

Which brexit supporting parties would that be then as I have not seen any on my ballot paper? We will now have to await for the pollsters to do their bit to give us an idea of how and why people voted the way they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
