Seems ConDems have crashed down south as expected with Labour making pretty big gains. 

Be interesting to see how things pan out in Scotland but presumably given it is STV there won't be any councils where a party has overall control.  Apparently heading for the lowest turnout in years up here but then you'd hardly know there was an election on where I stay.  No posters or billboards and I only got one leaflet through my door which was Tory, which is bizarre given in my ward I'd imagine they'd do well to get even 4th on 1st preference never mind get anywhere near a seat.

 

Don't suppose it means much so far away from a GE but already had Tory MPs demanding Callmedave is more right wing after UKIP success in the south and comedy figure Lebit Opik demanding Nick Clegg resigns as leader of the Lib Dems (but seemingly stay on as Deputy PM).

Also glad to see that so far nobody has voted in favour of Mayors in various English cities. Total waste of time and money and nothing more than a celebrity driven ego trip (see B. Johnston and K. Livingston)

Who, Robinson or Burnham?

Both of them

I pay almost zero attention to British politics but this is the 7th prime minister in Britain in the last 10 years. Is that accurate? What the fuck is going on? That’s mental! How do you get anything accomplished with that amount of change in leadership??

Brexit.

Not one of them has been honest about it. Tories for traditional Tory reasons, Labour out of cowardice. Burnham won’t do anything different but he’ll be more presentable than the last sweaty oddball who had the job. That’s how it works now

7 PMs in 10 years is true but slightly misleading. You only get 7 in 10 years if you start counting from the last days of Cameron's premiership. If you count from his first day, it is 7 in 16 years. Which is still far too many.

Strange how we can get 7 PM within 10 years, and yet they still refuse a S30 request. Once in a generation they say... until it suits the jews who control WM

I see Baron McFall of Alcluith most mornings on my way to work. Looks like a tramp and utterly miserable. Maybe it’s not worth it?
