UK local/mayoral elections 2021

[Eggchaser]

If Oxford and Cambridge are anything to go by, no wonder thd Tories have it in for higher education.

[NickSTFU]

...culminating in the council leader getting absolutely battered.

Which was magnificent to be honest.

[Duncan Gardner]

Congratulations to the Shropshire Greens.

At a European tussle between Oswestry's finest and Cliftonville a few years ago, Belfast Green Councillor Big Smitty fell asleep standing on the terrace, impressively managing not to spill any of his pint

[Etienne]

Etienne how did you get on?

That's Councillor Etienne to you. 6 out of 18 seats on Oswestry Town Council declared so far. 3 gains and 2 holds for the Greens.

[Capybara]

Yay! Congratulations.

[Nefertiti2]

Where labour has tried to lock the left out people voted Green instead

Gratz, Etienne

I see the Bristol mayor second round was Labour v Green.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Well done, Etienne Congratulations.

[delicatemoth]

Nice work Etienne.

[Guy Profumo]

That's Councillor Etienne to you. 6 out of 18 seats on Oswestry Town Council declared so far. 3 gains and 2 holds for the Greens.

So that's three current or former councillors I know personally, one IRL, and the other two by the magics of the interwebs and message boards
Well done Cllr Etienne

[Benjm]

Congratulations, Etienne!

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Well done Etienne. Are you paying heed to the "one small thing" thread?

[Etienne]

Just narrowing it down to what the town council has power to do, Rogin.

[Snake Plissken]

OTF’s long march to power begins.

[NickSTFU]

That's Councillor Etienne to you. 6 out of 18 seats on Oswestry Town Council declared so far. 3 gains and 2 holds for the Greens.

Congratulations, that's excellent news.

Good luck.

That's Councillor Etienne to you. 6 out of 18 seats on Oswestry Town Council declared so far. 3 gains and 2 holds for the Greens.

Congratulations, Etienne - Shropshire doesn't sound like it would be natural territory for Greens, which makes your win all the more impressive!

[DCI Harry Batt]

This is an informative little chart:

So the Greens won, really.

(I don't seem to be able to shrink the image, on my phone. Sorry.)

[Nefertiti2]

Certainly did well in Bristol where the Starmer Evans attack on the left has proved counter-productive

I got told off for abstaining by a member of Blue Rondo a la Turk, but supported in my reasons by Kevin Rowland and Spizz.

[NHH]

I saw a RT by Akehursy earlier blaming Bristol’s issues on ‘Momentum bullying’ and calling for a central office purge against all momentum members in officer positions.

These people are psychotically delusional, utterly amoral yet get a free pass from the press who imagine they are merely more moderate, as opposed to a fucking vile pack of cultish cunts.

Tracy Brabin wins West Yorkshire mayoral election, 85,000 ahead of the no mark Tory on first vote, 102,000 on seconds.

3rd place goes to... Bob Buxton, Yorkshire Party just ahead of the Green, with the Lib Dem trailing in 5th ahead of the fascists.

Brabin will give up her Westminster seat, so we'll have a Batley & Spen by-election (Lab majority: 3,525). Good luck with that one, Sir Keith.

[ursus arctos]

And the Government reacts to the mayoral losses by vowing to change the electoral system to first past the post

[DCI Harry Batt]

They had already said they'd do that.
