"The BBC’s national vote projection calculates how these localised results would translate into a national result at a General Election:

Reform – 26%
Greens – 18%
Labour – 17%
Conservatives – 17%
Lib Dems – 16%.

In terms of the new bloc politics, it gives the Right 43% and the progressives 51% – comfortably ahead…

There is a progressive majority of voters that can be actively mobilised to fuel the progressive transformation…"

I'm watching BBC election coverage for a bit. They were talking about how opinion polls have changed over the last 4 years since these seats were contested, failing to recognise some councils are electing full councils instead of just a third because of boundary changes. I know that's the case in at least 2 Northeast England Councils.

This election is reminding me of a twitter account that I used to follow in the days when twitter was still useable. It was called BritainElects and it had coverage of elections across the country. Providing basic results data. Mastodon is missing something like this.

#LocalElectionsUK

Well. The polls are closed. When will we start to get an idea of how bad the result is ?

#LocalElectionsUK

1 hour of voting left in the UK local elections.

If you haven't voted yet. Please get your arse to your polling station and vote!

"“I just hope nobody votes for Reform”

Meet 93-year-old Dorothy. She could be forced out of her home if her Reform-led council closes the care home she depends on

She’s not alone. Elderly residents across England could see their care homes closed under cost-cutting proposals from Reform UK

But Dorothy isn’t staying silent - and neither should we

🗳 May 7: Vote. Don’t hand your council to Reform"

The Greens are not running any candidates in the ward I live in. Why are they leafleting me?
