Garinda - I was at the count last night and it was pointed out at the time that Janet Storey had got 'Number of the Beast'. which as she can be very rude - to say the least- did seem appropriate

Re: Local Elections on Thursday.
Looks like it was smoother down there than the shambles we have up in this neck of the woods. PB will have a grin wider than the Amazon delta this morning.

Re: Local Elections on Thursday.
Having been hooked to the tv until the early hours and now hooked to the college internet, it seems it has been a great night for the Conservatives!

wouldn't think so cyfr, yes they have made gains as was obvious, in the locals, but NOWHERE near the gains they hoped and projected. they still have a hell of a lot to do,if they want to win a general.

Cyfr, please tell me you don't have a UK constituency map on your bedroom wall with red, blue and yellow pins stuck in, like the young William Hague used to have!

I was under the impression the Conservatives were aiming to have 700 new councilors and with just under 100 councils to count their votes, they have 566 which I would put them as well on their way to achieving the target!

Re: Local Elections on Thursday.
Do the Tory target figures of 700 only include new councillors, because in some councils they might have won seats but also lost seats as well.
In Hyndburn they gained Rishton, but lost Central, would that count as 1 new councillor (with the lost seat being ignored).
It would be interesting to see the figures for seats gained and seats lost as well.
