Today in Great Britain, they are holding local elections. On the ballot today were seats in the provincial legislatures of Scotland and Wales. Also, mayors and city council seats across England are up for grabs.
The party in power (in this case, Labor) always does badly in these off-year contests. The question tonight is “how badly?”
Also, Nigel Farage’s Reform party is again challenging the Conservatives for top spot on the right side of the political spectrum.
I’ll be updating results in this space. Some towns in England are counting votes tonight. While votes in the rest of England, Scotland, and Wales will be counted tomorrow (Friday)
Sky News UK is tracking the live results. As expected, so far Reform are the big winners with Labor the big losers.
