Elections 2016......

[ToraToraTora]

Been a bit quiet not seen any crowing from Lib/Lab this year, wonder why!

[youngmafbog]

I'm sure Corbyn will clean up!

Lib whats that? More rhyming slang?

[ToraToraTora]

yeah it's rhyming slang for Limp Dum

TTT...crowing about what ?

[ToraToraTora]

How you are going to thrash the Tories and quoting EC at as every other day, remember? still use EC? didn't think so!

[youngmafbog]

Ah yes TTT, I'd forgotten about them. Do they still exist ?

No one gets excited about Local Elections.

I assume the Conservatives will lose a few hundred coucillors.
Labour will gain some.
The LibDems revival will stall.
UKIP will bomb as usual.

// These are mainly the seats last contested in 2012. In that year Labour won 39 per cent of the vote (extrapolated into a national vote share) the Conservatives won 33 per cent. So even if the two parties are level pegging this year then Labour will still face losses of around 200 seats. //

It seems Labour are expected to lose seats, but I don't quite understand why? Could be they did very well in 2012 and are not expected to repeat that.

Gromit, unless Labour gain some + LibDems stalled = a few hundred, that doesn't add up - where are the missing councillors coming from?

[youngmafbog]

Tower Hamlets?
