Who’d want to be a Liebour councillor right now?

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

The results of yesterday’s elections are almost all in and it looks like being a brilliant result.

With 148 of 159 councils declared, Liebour have so far lost control of 8 councils and a spectacular in 293 councillors in what has been described as the worst result for Liebour since the 60’s. Research by the BBC now puts Liebour in third place nationally at 24% with the Illiberal Dipshits on 25% and the Conswervatives way out in front on 44%.

But it hasn’t all gone the Conswervatives’ way. Whilst they’ve gained control of 12 councils and an extra 234 councillors, the Illiberal Dipshits have taken a small but important slice of Liebour votes with a net gain of one council and 29 councillors so far. They have, however, lost control of Liverpool – the last Illiberal Dipshit-controlled council in the north of England.

The BNP have gained one seat somewhere down south and UKIP have gained two seats – one in Hartlepool taking it out of Liebour control and one in Dudley, of all places. UKIP missed out on unseating Liebour from a second seat in Hartlepool by only 2 votes with the Conswervatives, bizarrely, fielding spoiler candidates in seats they knew they couldn’t win to ensure Liebour councillors were re-elected.

Of course, the one election that the media are interested in and the one that will give an indication of how the next general election will pan out is the London Mayoral election and that looks like a convincing win for Boris. Indeed, Guido reports that the online betting website Paddy Power is already paying out on Boris bets after only 14 electoral wards have declared with Boris on 9 and Crooked Ken on 5.

So, what’s the verdict from the Liebour Party on the worst election results in almost half a century? Well, Gordo is “disappointed” and the party is blaming it entirely on the 10p tax fuck-up. Nothing to do with a disasterous decade of destroying the economy, turning England into a police state run by an unelected foreign politician.

I predict the next election will see Liebour lose by a massive majority, never to take power in England again.

Update:
All the results are now in and it’s a humiliating result for Liebour. They finished with a net loss of 331 councillors and 9 councils against a net increase of 256 councillors and 12 councils for the Conswervatives. The Illiberal Dipshits are 34 councillors and 1 council up whilst in Wales, Plaid Cymru are down one council but up 33 councillors. The BNP are up 10 councillors and UKIP are up 3 (they’re +3 in the West Midlands so presumably at least 1 loss elsewhere). Lots of councils have changed from no overall control to (mainly Conswervative) control and vice versa with an overall net gain of control over 3 councils. The London Mayor results are still outstanding but after 40% of the votes being counted, Boris is still leading Crooked Ken by 9 seats to 4 with the Illiberal Dipshit nowhere to be seen.

Update 2:
Boris romped home to victory in the London Mayoral elections beating Crooked Ken by nearly 140,000 votes in total. Boris was the only candidate to take over a million first preference votes, beating Crooked Ken by nearly 150,000 on first preference. YouGov was the only opinion pollster in the city to predict a Boris win. The BNP candidate came fifth after the Illiberal Dipshit and Green candidates. Christian Choice came sixth which I think will result in the formation of an Islamic Party before the next election. UKIP came seventh followed by Left List. Matt O’Conartist came ninth with over 10,600 votes despite pulling out of the race and the independent finished up last. The strong BNP vote means they now have a seat on the London Assembly.

    Hope you are right. And I hope the party turns on itself and kicks Brown out. And I hope they then install Ed Balls as leader who will then go on to lose his seat at the next general election. And I hope the SNP wipe them out in Scotland.

    There’s so much to be hopeful about.

    I’m confident of it, I really am. I can’t see Liebour ever winning an election in England again.

    I see that 40% of the vote has now been counted in London and Boris is still ahead on 9 seats compared to Crooked Ken’s 5 whilst Liebour have now lost 310 councillors with 2 left to declare.

    ‘Not winning in England’ does’nt matter dick until you can dump us off.

    I wonder……

    What will happen to Labour? Will they dwindle into the shadow half lif existence of the Liberals?

    I wonder who the new ‘Opposition’ will be to the Tories? How will they get on? Will they survive unscathed?

    Labour will get back in, it just needs the Tories to become a big bunch of cocks, it usually takes 10 years in power or so 😛

    I can’t see it (not that I want the Conswervatives either). I think Liebour will end up like the Illiberal Dipshits with little pockets of support but ultimately being the protest vote.

    By the time the Conswervatives fuck up the country enough to lose the popular vote I think devolution will have been finished and the whole balance of power will have changed. That’s assuming, of course, that Scotland hasn’t declared independence by then in which case they’re done for.

    I wonder, will Gordo go out, get steaming and have a fight?

    Or has he moved on from his roots?

    To answer the question, lots of people did, but not many achieved their ambition….

    By the way did you see ‘two jobs’ Des Browne on Question Time talking about English education? Made me grit my teeth, I can tell you; and nobody said, or had the chance to point out, that absolutely no-one in the United Kingdom has given him a mandate on the subject.

    I find it interesting, both Boris and Kenny have got that ‘Fuck you, britain’ attitude that Alex Salmond has.

    With Alex, he puts Scotland first but this 2 are putting London first. Britain has started to eat itself.

    On the plus side, Wendy Alexander has ssaid ‘Bring it on’ to an independence referendum, this may prolong her career but it will doom the UK as it is.
