Just one correct answer
With Liebour losing 255 councillors, just the one person got it right.
Now we'll see if the political pundits in the media got it right by saying more than 250 losses would spell serious trouble for Bliar.

Originally posted by BobTheCratePolitical commentators are saying that if Liebour lose less than 200 council seats, they won't have too many problems as a result. Between 200 & 250 losses will be very bad, over 250 and the party will be really out for Blair's blood.
So let's have a poll. How many council seats will Labour lose control of ?
... and already we have some wishful thinking !
All the parties to lose, Labour Tory and Libdem, they're all scumbags none of them deserve to win anything except an execution. If anything I'd love to see the BNP wipe the floor with all of them.
In my 40 years on the planet I've voted at every election but with Cameron running the tories I just can't vote for them so I've abstained. Hopefully the tory vote will collapse and Cameron will be toast.Last edited by vista; 4 May 2006, 19:58.

I don't see Gay Gordon as the next labour leader, particularly if Tone goes down in flames.
Just because Tone is backing him doesn't mean he will get the vote.
Why does the whole World see him as PM in waiting?

It will certainly be interesting to see Brown in actual public politician capacity - despite his high profile job he managed to avoid all scandals, which IMO in many respects because he keep his mouth shut, thus avoiding saying words that can be held against him: would not be possible to act like that in PMs capacity.

IMO the sooner Brown takes over the better. Then people will realise how incompetant he's been and still is - well before the next GE.

Not enough buttons. They are in fact going to win 132 seats. They will all be for the same seat in Birmingham. It will have a surprisingly high number of postal votes.

I've changed the heading accordingly. Can't seem to change the poll heading though ?

"Labour braced for heavy blow and 400 losses in local elections
· Bad publicity blamed as party's forecasts worsen
· Big changeover expected in London boroughs
Patrick Wintour, Will Woodward and David Leigh
Thursday May 4, 2006
The Guardian
Labour expects to lose 400 councillors and control of 15-16 councils across England in local elections today.
The figures are significantly worse than officials had suggested only a week ago. A net loss of 400 seats - with 4,361 seats up for grabs - would represent a grievous blow and take the number of Labour councillors nationally down to around 6,000, the lowest figure since the 1980s.
Labour expects to lose half the boroughs it controls..."

Originally posted by MordacBearing in mind only 170 (give or take) councils are holding elections, and NewLie currently hold something like 45, I think your numbers are a little out.
Still, fwiw, the more they lose the better. As long as it's not to the fecking LibDooms.

Edit - error spotted. Change "councils" to "seats".

Have to admit my vote is more wishful thinking than anything else.
