Local Election Results

I have voted Green, Labour and Lib Dem in the past but I deliberately won’t vote labour now because of their stance on self-ID. However, I can’t imagine there’ll be that many who would have voted for them because of it. Nationally, I’m not happy for any of them so when it comes to local elections, I’ll vote on local issues.

I don't think anyone "won" here tbh.

I would agree with a pp though that given the performance of the Tory Govt atm we should have seen imho a significant result for Labour - which clearly didn't happen.

Turn out also small here. Not a lot of campaigning happens locally and tbh there didn't seem like a huge difference between lab and con leaflets except one was red and one blue. Libdems don't even bother posting leaflets.

Given how weak the Conservatives are at the moment I think it reflects very badly on Labour. Having said that, I always vote much more on individuals and local issues for council elections and I suspect I am not alone.

My ward voted as expected but the turnout was tiny. I think people have voter fatigue and either didn't vote or voted on local issues. Not a win for either of the big two really.

Also happy to see UKIP dissolve. I don't like conservatives due to the cuts and brexit, I don't like labour because they are for the many not the few unless your female or a jew and again brexit. I think the results are kind of stale.

I'm in a Labour area, labour are back in and I doubt anyone voted for them based on self id. Most I suspect haven't a clue about it, they vote labour because their working class and its what they've always done.

It's hard to extrapolate from LE because even with some people voting in line with GE party policies many places have local issues that are separate and inform the result.

My take away overall is that people aren't particularly happy with either Tory or Labour but don't really know what to do about it. Turnouts seem very low too in many places.

A good night for LD though considering previous elections. We need to keep working on Brian Paddick to take concerns about women's rights seriously.
