Who are you voting for?

Are you going to use your vote as a anti war protest or are you voting because of local policies.

If you are eligible to vote for the London mayor..who you going to vote for?
 
Not eligible until next year, but just hope that dopey idiot Boris doesn't get in. Just remember what the BNP said. 'Vote for Boris Johnson as your second preference'. Don’t think i need to go further do i?

I'll be supporting Ken:19:

And just a word for you all, remember George Galloway. He's representing the 'respect' party, and he only need 3% to be in the national assembly, with 13/14% odd to be joined by other respect members.

A vote for Ken is a vote for George, and a vote for George is a cote for Ken!
 
My mums circle of friends are voting red ken through hearsay he is pro-muslim (which he is as well as pro immigrant) rather than day to day policies of any candidate -

i suppose in todays climate the muslim vote will count - although not out of fear which it is!
 
Johnson is just a comedy act and that is how it should remain.

I remember when he was trying desperately to remember a Qurananic verse, trying to elucidate his 'problem religion' theory on Question Time a few years ago..I wonder if he has ever tried to quote Biblical passages of a similar nature to his audience.
 
Ken wants more toll charges, more congestion chargin! they guy is pushing for BIKES to work etc.

ALL politicians suckkk... alllll of them bunch of lying twits.. can vote, But vont wote ;-)

ps. Ken got Gallaways backing.. ie islamic vote... but Kenny boy also wants rights for homosexuals etc...

Ken is just clever in getting the votes.. wheras Boris looks dumb so loses straight away

Boris used to make me laugh, but now I think he has a lot of campaign managers telling him to reign in his stronger views about things...

For example ...

A case of realpolitik?

lol If Boris were to be London's mayor, then i guarantee you that by 2012, he'd have probably taken the pi55 out of most countries on this earth!

Im surprised the tory party let him constantly get away with his various comments - they even went as far as to defend him for insulting Portsmouth by saying stats for that area back Boris's comments :O :O
 
Obviously I don't live in England any more but if I was still there I'd vote for Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London because I agree with his policies especially with regards to congestion charging, taxing bigger vehicles and trying to get more people to cycle/take public transport...and I also like the man.

In the local council elections I would have voted for the Liberal Democrats as I always do in every election whether local or general.
 
Only Ken or Boris can really win this...Boris dont have a clue what his doing he seems to know nothing and his remarks about Islam in the past dont really make me think he be one to back us up or be in faour of anything we need or want if his mayor.. and as someone said BNP want people to vote for him as 2nd vote so that says it all really !

Ken aint done bad and out the bunch his the best so my votes with him ... and for the other 2 voteing papers im just going to vote respect and left wing lol ...

People should really go out and vote those who can i read BNP have a good chance of getting seats .. the more people who vote against them the less chance they have ..
 
there is an increased call of a muslim vote to count in this election than any other and specifically the london mayor this year.
 
I am voting for Boris, can't stand the odious, corrupt weasel Ken. My 2nd preference will be Lib Dem or Green.

Ok, normally I don't bother voting as it's a complete waste of time & only encourages them ( there should be a 'none of the above' choice); democracy is just a sham & elections only exist so sheeple think they have some sort of power.

Having said that, it was a protest vote. London in reality doesn't need a Mayor, just an extra layer of bureaucracy & extra cost to the taxpayer; all the services & institutions would function adequately without the Mayor & GLA.

He has 'run' London like his own personal fiefdom, letting cronies siphon off money all over the place, favouring one ethnic group ie blacks over others, who probably contribute the least in tax revenue; incrased council tax, personal vendetta against motorists & spending untold amounts of taxpayers money on his own PR & self aggrandizement schemes.

Don't forget he represents Labour, the war mongerers. You should be ashamed voting for them!

And you shouldn't be ashamed for voting for the person who has the BNP's backing? :13:
They did say to give your preference vote to him!
 
All the media has focussed on the 'Ken & Doris' show.

Its a SCANDAL that a great man like George Galloway is being deliberatly ignored.

Its the UK's loss...

That is because he is not running for Mayor, he is running for Assembly member or some other similar title, which even he admits is rather low profile a role but apparently quite important.

Ken Livingstone, unsurprisingly, consistently opposed the war on Iraq.

“Five years ago we heard about an ethical foreign policy. Well, that didn’t last long. They are not concerned about human rights. They are concerned about oil. People voted for their government to represent their interests, not to simply be a reflection of the White House. I will do all I can to oppose this war.”
Link - Stop the War Demo, Sep 2002 (LISTEN to full speech)

You think Boris Johnson was anti-war?

"That is the best case for Bush; that, among other things, he liberated Iraq."

But ACTIONS speak louder than words...

I am glad Labour got a kicking locally... but if Boris gets in for London Mayor... prepare for some buffoonery of the highest order.

The guys has no policies, no idea of how much things cost and morally a deceitful guy. The Conservatives especially Cameron want nothing to do with him. I can see bus tickets going up!
 
Paddy Power are paying out on a Doris Johnson win.

I think he might exterminate immigrants and Liverpudlians for starters.....

How the hell could Londoners trust this guy with a 350 million budget? He'll spend it on fine wine, antiques and hunting!!!

45% turnout in london

I think most people haven't bothered working out budgets work and the evening standard backing of him hasn't helped.. cost of living in london is way too high...but i can't see him doing much without creating job losses!

Also, the guy has no decent green issues.. he is anti-kyoto!

He will have budget 10 times that much ..he was against cross rail. but with cross rail iapproved - i dont what he would do!

Plus he has a zero tolerance approach to trade unions - prepare for more strikes!

Although - only 25% of the results have been announced..final result will be announced at 8:30pm!

Isnt it obvious - you elect him, you deserve him

I think even worse are the people who don't even go out to vote in the first place and then complain about who won afterwards.
 
Boris is ahead of Ken yet form what reports are saying on skynews but only 50% have been counted.. it will come down to 2nd choice votes i think...

If Boris does be our mayor it be bad for us and Cameron aswell he will give their party a bad name im sure ! his going to cause mayham all over the place if he wins !

oh great he will be our rep for the olympics i think...

unless there is a election before then...
 
Raz said:

very true

Tho the mayoral election had a record turnout so Londoners have spoken, they want Boris as Mayor
 
Well on the brighter side, Labour would be spoilt for choice from London Zoo alone for a nominee to run in 2012...
 
How will you guys be approaching the vote as far as your local areas are concerned ?
[MENTION=1842]James[/MENTION] [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] [MENTION=48620]Cpt. Rishwat[/MENTION]
 
[MENTION=43583]KingKhanWC[/MENTION] I can see Labour reducing its majority in Birmingham and especially Sandwell due to the problems there

probably Labour this time.

But feeling uninspired in general.
 
I'm voting Lib Dem. The lib dem councillor is very active in the neighbourhood whatsapp group and helps solve any issues.

Have never even seen Labour and Tory councillors except during election time
 
<b>From Glasgow to Worthing, these seven election results will reveal the public’s mood</b>

<I>Strategists will focus on a handful of councils to gauge the depth of Boris Johnson’s woes, and the actual probability of a Keir Starmer victory</I>

When the dust settles from the election results on Friday, how should we sift the claims and counter-claims of rival politicians as to what they mean?

Here are seven councils where the outcome will reveal the true strengths and weaknesses of the main parties.

• The first is Wandsworth. Controlled by the Conservatives since 1978, Wandsworth has been the Tory’s flagship borough ever since it decided in 1990 that it didn’t need to levy the poll tax locally, and defied a big national swing to Labour in that year’s local elections. Recently, however, the area has been drifting left, politically. All three of the borough’s MPs are now Labour, including Fleur Anderson in Putney, which was the only seat the party gained from the Tories in 2019. The real doubt this time is whether Labour will scrape in, or win comfortably. A Tory victory this time would be as big a sensation as it was 32 years ago.

• Barnet was a Labour target last time, in 2018. Instead, the Conservatives increased their majority on the 63-seat council from one to 13. Labour suffered here more than anyone else from the controversies over antisemitism and Jeremy Corbyn. A Labour victory this time would be the best evidence that the party has put these troubles behind it.

• The basic outcome in Wakefield is not in doubt: Labour will hold the council, as it has done over since its creation in 1973. The voting figures will, however, indicate whether the Conservatives are holding on to their gains in “red wall” England. Imran Ahmad Khan, who captured the parliamentary seat from Labour in 2019 with a majority of 3,358 has resigned, after his conviction for assault. If Labour wins a clear lead in the wards that make up the parliamentary seat, it could signal a Labour gain in the coming byelection – and the chance of other red wall gains at the next general election.

• Worthing illustrates one of the demographic and social trends across parts of southern England: the influx of younger, often professional, families with liberal values looking to buy houses they can afford. Labour used to regard such places as hopeless. As recently as 2016, the party had no councillors in Worthing. Now control of the council is within reach. After last year’s elections, Labour had 15 of the town’s 37 councillors. It has since gained an extra two, moving the council from a Conservative majority to no overall control. Labour needs two more gains for outright victory.

• Portsmouth was a Labour city at the height of New Labour’s popularity, but in recent years the battle for control has been between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Following last year’s elections, the Conservatives had 16 councillors and the Lib Dems 15. Despite having fewer councillors, the Lib Dems have been running a minority administration. Twenty-two councillors are needed for an outright majority – just about possible for either party. But if one of them gains enough wards to come even close, this will tell us who is gaining ground in the contest between the Conservatives and Lib Dems in southern England.

• Labour lost eight seats last year in Sheffield; as a result, the council slipped to no overall control. Three Labour gains would restore control in this 84-seat council – but as none of the 28 seats up for election this week are being defended by the Conservatives, Labour’s battle is with the Lib Dems (who emerged from last year’s election with 29 councillors) and the Greens (13).

The council, then, is a testbed for the battle among the left and centre-left parties to dominate the anti-Conservative vote. Keir Starmer will be hoping that his attempts to win back older red wall voters by tacking right on Europe and immigration won’t offend the younger and more liberal-minded voters he also needs in major cities such as Sheffield.

Sheffield is of special interest to the Greens. For the past year they have shared power with Labour. Will they be rewarded for the role they have played – or punished, as Nick Clegg’s Lib Dems were nationally when they entered into coalition with the Conservatives?

• Scotland’s council elections this week differ from England’s in two ways. They were last fought in 2017 rather than 2018; and seats are allocated by a proportional system, the single transferable vote. This means that few council are won outright. Historically, Glasgow was a Labour city, and the party narrowly won in 2012. But by 2017, the SNP’s share of the vote had risen to 11% , and it won 39 (out of 85) seats, against Labour’s 31. A good result for Labour would be to overtake the Conservatives across Scotland as a whole, and to regain first place from the SNP in Glasgow.

Taking Britain as a whole, an average of recent opinion polls puts Labour six points ahead of the Conservatives. Historically, Conservative governments have stumbled in midterm and recovered strongly as the following general election approaches. If that happens again, then Labour has nothing like the lead it needs to be odds-on to win the next general election.

Strategists from all the parties will be waiting eagerly for the projected national share of this week’s votes – initially from the BBC, followed by the fuller analysis by Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher of Nuffield College, Oxford.

Will they suggest that Labour is outperforming its poll rating – or that the Conservatives are beginning to put their recent woes behind them?

The bigger question, which we must wait to answer, is whether history will in fact repeat itself and hand the next general election to the Conservatives – or will things be different this time, and enable Labour to hang on to whatever lead the voters give the party this week?

Local elections What is the state of play so far?

The picture is becoming more clear in England as the morning develops - but we may have to wait until much later and even tomorrow for results in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Here are the key results so far in England:

The Tories have lost 104 seats and five councils net - but gains have been split between Labour, Lib Dems and Greens

Lib Dems arguably happiest so far with 44 seats and one council gained net - Kingston Upon Hull (from Labour). They have also held Richmond with strong gains from the Tories

Labour have gained 30 seats and three councils net so far including notable London councils of Westminster (for first time ever) and Wandsworth (Margaret Thatcher's favourite council, historically held by Tories) - Barnet also expected

Election analyst Michael Thrasher says it is not clear if Labour gains would be enough to win a general election.

Local elections: What is the state of play so far?

It's 9am and we now have a decent, if far from complete, picture of the local election results in England:

The Tories have lost 113 seats and six councils net - but gains have been split between Labour, Lib Dems and Greens

Lib Dems arguably happiest so far with 47 seats and one council gained net - Kingston Upon Hull (from Labour). They have also held Richmond with strong gains from the Tories

Labour have gained 36 seats and four councils net so far including notable London councils of Westminster (for first time ever), Wandsworth (Margaret Thatcher's favourite council, historically held by Tories) and Barnet

Election analyst Michael Thrasher says it is not clear if Labour gains would be enough to win a general election - but Boris Johnson's majority would be "erased"

We may have to wait until much later and even tomorrow for results in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
 
The Conservatives have lost control of three flagship London boroughs as Labour further strengthened its grip on the capital.

Despite the significant wins in Wandsworth, Margaret Thatcher's "favourite council", Westminster and Barnet, gains by Sir Keir Starmer's party have been more modest elsewhere in England.

Local Conservative leaders have blamed the prime minister as partygate and the cost of living dominated comments at the doorstep.

But Boris Johnson's allies warned it was not time to change the leader as they insisted Labour gains fell short of what was needed for the party to secure a general election victory.

Outside London, Labour was triumphant in the new Cumberland unitary council, which covers Tory-held seats, and took the bellwether council of Southampton from the Tories.

But in high profile places where Labour needed to make advances - such as Hartlepool, Peterborough, Redditch and Ipswich - the party failed to take those councils.

While the Conservatives have seen a substantial drop in support in the south of England, Labour has seen a larger drop in the north.

A rise in Lib Dem support across England has seen the party winning Hull from Labour, gaining from the Tories in Merton and in West Oxfordshire where David Cameron's constituency was.

Sir Keir Starmer, speaking from Barnet on Friday morning, remained defiant as he said the results represented a "massive turning point for the Labour Party".

"From the depths in 2019 we are back on track now for the general election, showing what the change that we've done, the hard change that we've done in the last two years, what a difference it has made," he added.

Labour sources described the victory in Wandsworth, known for its low taxes, as "monumental".

"This was the Tories' jewel in the crown," one party source said. "Voters in Wandsworth have put their trust in the change Keir Starmer's Labour represents."

Lib Dems hail 'real trend' gains

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey was grinning about his party's gains as he spoke to Sky News' Kay Burley, telling her people had used their votes to send a message to Mr Johnson.

He insisted Lib Dem gains were not protest votes against the government but "a real trend now" - partly because the Tories are "failing so badly".

However, Conservative Party co-chair Oliver Dowden brushed off Tory losses as he told Sky News the results were "more consistent with what you would expect in midterm in urban areas" - but admitted he was "disappointed" with the key losses in London.

"Labour is certainly not on the path to power and I believe Boris Johnson has the leadership skills, particularly the energy and dynamism to lead us into the next election," he added.

The Tories had run Westminster since its creation in 1964 and Wandsworth since it turned blue in 1978, shortly before Mrs Thatcher's election as prime minister.

Victory in Barnet will also be seen as a significant accomplishment for Sir Keir and a potential sign of growing trust in the party's leadership.

The north London authority has one of the UK's biggest Jewish populations, and as Labour was dogged by accusations of antisemitism under former leader Jeremy Corbyn, people in the area voting for the party decreased.

A local Tory leader said the Labour victory in Barnet "does not bode well" for the Conservatives for a general election.

Daniel Thomas said: "I think this is a warning shot from Conservative supporters... but also a fair number of Conservative voters who just didn't go out to vote, stayed at home."

Labour will be pleased to have gained Southampton from the Tories, overturning the small majority Mr Johnson's party had there from the last set of local elections.

Sir Keir's party also gained the new Cumberland authority, a significant win given the area has three Conservative MPs in Carlisle, Copeland and Workington.

But the Liberal Democrats took Kingston-upon-Hull in what will be seen as a big defeat for Labour.

Many of the so-called red wall councils are yet to declare.

While the Conservatives held Basildon, elsewhere in Essex, the Tory leader of Colchester Council lost his seat to the Liberal Democrats.

Mr Johnson's party also failed to take control of Peterborough, where the Conservatives needed to gain two seats, with the party now running the council under minority control.

John Mallinson, the Tory leader of Carlisle City Council, said the prime minister should be moved on after his party suffered a mass defeat in one local election.

In England, there are more than 4,000 seats up for grabs, while Scotland and Wales each have more than 1,000 seats at stake.

The elections decide who will be responsible for handling local issues such as planning, housing and rubbish collections - but wider national issues such as the surge in the cost of living have also come to the fore.

Results, which started arriving in the early hours of Friday, could also prove key to the future of the prime minister - and whether rumblings of backbench discontent escalate into a chorus of opposition triggering a no-confidence vote.

They will also shed light on whether Sir Keir has been able to make ground amid the pressures facing the PM as a result of partygate, the cost of living crisis and questions about the culture in Westminster.

In Northern Ireland, 90 assembly members are being elected - with tensions high as polls point to Sinn Fein overtaking the DUP as the largest party, suggesting Northern Ireland could have a nationalist first minister for the first time.

Mayoral votes also took place - in South Yorkshire, Croydon, Hackney, Lewisham, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Watford.

Voters in Bristol chose to scrap the directly elected mayor system in the city in a referendum.

In Scotland and Wales, counting did not start until Friday morning, with the earliest results not expected until the afternoon.

Who cares?

Go woke and go broke.

Country is heading for the pits, these elections are just a brief reprive and reminder of so called democracy.

GE will end in coalition anyway.
 
This round has been a modest success for Labour at best, and very slow outside of London which has not taught us anything new really — Labour always does well in London and the major metropolitan areas because of the high student populations, which themselves are mostly made up of young people on the left wing who are socially active and politically engaged. And when it’s not Labour, it’s the Greens.

In the English provincial towns and smaller settlements — where the voters can genuinely change their minds and “swing”, and where the ballot papers are quite simply “worth more” on a pound-for-pound basis — it still looks like it is going to be the Tory Party all the way, with a bit of Lib Dem occasionally thrown into the mix.
 
Liberals should be raking it with the Ukrainian refugee stunt.

No one cares of politics now, every man for himself, his family, his pocket.
 
Its probably the first time in my life where I genuinley don't care who wins nor have I followed any if the coverage.

Every party leader is uninspiring and their views change with the wind.
 
Conservatives now starting to suffer quite a few losses as the results pile up.
 
Now 400 Conservative councillors (and counting) out of a job.

Lib Dems and Greens in terms of “seats gained” are doing just as well as Labour if not better.
 
<b>Summary to date:</b>

• Boris Johnson admits the Tory party has faced a "tough night" in some parts of England but says the overall picture is of mixed results.

• The party has lost more than 300 council seats in England and has seen big losses in Scotland too.

• The Liberal Democrats have gained more than 170 council seats in England so far and the Greens are also doing well.

• The BBC calculates that based on these results, if the whole country had been voting - Labour would have 35% of the vote, Conservative 30%, Lib Dems 19% and others 16%.

• England results are still coming in but Labour have taken three symbolic London councils from the Conservatives.

• Labour leader Keir Starmer hails a "very great successes" for his party - however major gains have not been made outside London.

• Counting continues in Wales, where the Conservatives have also seen losses.
 
The Conservatives have lost control of their only council in Wales.
 
<b>The Conservatives have suffered significant losses at Thursday's local elections, losing almost 500 seats and control of 11 councils.</b>

The party shed support to the Liberal Democrats in southern England, and lost key London councils to Labour.

The Tories also saw losses in Scotland, where the SNP won the most seats, and in Wales to a resurgent Labour. The PM said it had been "tough" in some areas.

Sinn Féin is on track to win the most seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Lol, crikey.

A spectacularly dire night for the Tories.

Pressure on BoJo now.
 
Dread for the tories, 1/3 of their seats lost. Wow. Lib Dems made huge gains. Labour made good gains on their already strong position in local government.

Seems to tell me the publis are fed up with the Tories especially the pandemic and post-pandemic situation. Tories will move to remove Boris, no chance he'll be leading them into the next elections else it'll be almost guaranteed they'll lose their majority.

There is little for Labour to be proud of, they are holding their position but still come out with a bloody nose.
