...are taking a hammering, based on results in so far, they are in third position, having already lost 140 seats...the worst results in over 40 years apparently...

shiva

serves them right for being bloody useless all this time. we replaced a corrupt bunch of bufoons with an inept bunch of morons.

Inselaffen

just hope Londoners did the same with Red Ken!
looking forward to a peach of a victor's speach from Borris.

Madam Medusa

yeah, and they are also corrupt...despite the initial rhetoric...

early soundings are the boris has done it...why is the vote so late, btw, does anyone know...?

MM, xx

Inselaffen

counting only started 8.30am Uk time
result expected 12 hours after that.

but I think Red Ken has brought in the Zimbabwean Electoral commission to do the counting so expect the results sometime in the Autumn

Madam Medusa

no i know that, my question is why did it start so late...?!

MM, xx

Inselaffen

I guess they had to get the council votes out of the way first.

Madam Medusa

what, it's beyond them to employ a different set of people to do the counting...err...and surely it will be a different set of people cos they aren't going to be allowed to work round the clock...

MM, xx

Inselaffen

thats why it would have started at 8.30.
so they can sleep a bit before starting again.

Madam Medusa

but they were counting all night, some results are still coming through...

seriously, i'd love to know why the mayoral results are so late...

I'm just so totally disillusioned with UK politics, I really do believe that the major two/three political parties are all as bad as each other,and neither will bring any serious change or improvement. It just ends up being a bit of a game really.

Inselaffen

some bookies have already started paying out on a Borris Victory

Madam Medusa

you are so right, they are all the same...

i worked for 3 tory ministers, having come from a very, very left wing uni and thought that labour mps would be completely different...until i met them and all my illusions were shattered. basically, they all look after number 1...

MM, xx

Inselaffen

well don't expect anything better in this region

Madam Medusa

well all the signs are there...

bloody hell though, can you imagine...
