Thread: UK. Local and mayoral elections: Conservatives make early gains

Low turnout dominated by pensioners. Very definition of turkeys voting for Xmas if they vote Tory.

It seems the whole country is fed up with Labour and UKIP.

Good.

So everyone in Scotland who doesn't vote for the deluded dream of a socialist utopia under the SNP is a turkey then? Personally I think everyone who votes SNP is a totally clueless uneducated fukwit lacking even a basic understanding of economics who must walk round with closed eyes as unable to see the damage the SNP have done to education in Scotland. Anyway looking forward to some Tory gains in Scotland later think results should be in from 11.30 UK time.

^Fun bit of trolling on your part Bumboy. So you've abandoned UKIP and it's new leader the fantastical Mr Nutter?

Come on the Tories wipe the Labour/SNP idiots out.

I've voted for UKIP as many times in my life as I've voted Labour, 1 each, UKIP in 2015 and Labour in 1997 and if I could take the 1997 vote back I happily would. I will be voting Conservative on June 8, nice local MP Edward Timpson who knocked on my door yesterday, had a quick chat and assured him of my vote.

^You were at home?

Unemployed, my sympathies.

Some of us are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy a life of leisure at a relatively young age.

No but you clearly do

Tories have just had a councillor elected in Paisley's Ferguslie Park - Scotland's most deprived area - for the first time ever.

What say you Begbie?

Doubtless you christened your bargain with a mutual showering of spunk as you frotted each other to a frenzy over a picture of May sticking a chip into her salivating maw, you fucking weird little Caledonian ponce.

Just a firm handshake with him thanking me for my support and me wishing him good luck. Oh by the way how's you £/$ prediction going?

East Glasgow’s Shettleston ward returned a Tory councilor for the first time in its history – he’s twenty years of age.

What say you again Begbie?

Council election results: Labour loses overall control of Glasgow

The SNP is hopeful of replacing Labour as the largest party on Glasgow City Council
Labour has lost overall control of Glasgow as the first results are declared in the Scottish council elections.
The SNP is hoping to replace Labour as the biggest party in Scotland's largest city, where Labour has held power since 1980.

Counting is continuing in Glasgow - but early Labour losses mean it cannot now win another majority.

Elsewhere, the Tories have been making big gains in several areas of Scotland.
Orkney was the first to announce its early results, with councils including Clackmannanshire, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Argyll and Bute and South Ayrshire following soon after.

The full national picture is expected to become clearer by Friday afternoon, but the Conservatives have been winning seats in areas which had previously been "no-go" for them - including Shettleston in Glasgow and Ferguslie Park in Paisley.
In Clackmannanshire, the Conservatives picked up five seats - four more than in 2012 - with the SNP remaining the largest party with eight, the same number as five years ago.

You certainly know how to kick a man when he's down.

Tories currently +30 seats in Scotland, Begbie must be choking on his white spirit.

Labour wins huge majority in local elections after Diane Abbott counts the votes

Labour is expected to gain more than eighty million seats after Diane Abbott was asked to count the votes this morning.

Speaking in that breathy, slightly creepy way she has, Abbott declared a huge landslide for Labour across the country – with the Conservatives and SNP facing ‘complete wipeout’ based on her figures.

“Thanks to Diane’s remarkable command of mathematics, Labour have swept to victory with well over 100% of the vote nationwide,” we were told.

“We believe that the birds of the air and the fishes of the seas came forth to cast their vote for him; it’s the only way her maths can be correct.

“She says now we’ve seized the country she’ll be working up her calculations on how we can turn the observable universe into nurses and policemen for 40p each.”

When told that Labour had actually lost, Diane said she wasn’t one hundred and eleventy billion percent certain of the actual numbers but she was confident events would prove her right.

What's going on in Tory hating Scotland now gained +50 seats and last I saw SNP only gained 3 seats. To be fair though the Tory gains are coming from Labour seats but fact remains it's the Tories and not the SNP taking the seats.

^^

Tory resurgence in Scotland +95 seats, Labour -60, SNP -22. Tories even taking seats from the SNP now.

Resurrection day for sleepy asylum.
