Bad night at the polls for Labour

Labour is suffering heavy losses in local elections in England and Wales, with several councils changing hands.
The party has lost more than 200 seats and fallen into third place according to a BBC projection of results.

Among Tory wins are Trafford, Tamworth and Brentwood while in Pendle Lib Dems are celebrating victory. But both parties have suffered council losses.

The London mayor and assembly counts will come on Friday and European election counting starts on Sunday.

The elections are likely to be the biggest test of voter opinion before the next general election but the final picture will not be clear until the European results appear on Sunday night.

Only around 80 out of the 166 councils holding elections have declared the results.

Birmingham, Sheffield and Newcastle are among the big cities not announcing their results until Friday.

Labour has lost control of the former mining area of Bassetlaw for the first time since 1979, as well as suffering defeats in Burnley, Hastings, Oxford and its traditional stronghold of St Helens.

It also lost control of Swansea, as the first Welsh results came in.

But the party won Stoke-on-Trent, tightened its grip on Barrow-in-Furness and, despite seat losses, held Manchester.

On the basis of voting in 190 key wards, the BBC\'s projected outcome if people had voted in the same way nationally shows Labour in third place.

The projection puts the Conservatives on 38%, the same as their performance in 2000, the Lib Dems on 30% and Labour on 26% if the local votes were repeated in a general election.

I didn\'t even vote, where I am it was a strictly postal only vote and we had to get a witness to sign the form. Too much hassle and I couldn\'t be bothered with it.

We have our vote tomorrow.

I still havent made up my mind.. But the Left Party (ex. commies) seems like a nice party, Anti-EU and everything.
