The Other Elections

The Labour Party has defied expectations to secure a number of councils in Southern England, amid signs of decline in Conservative support in the region.

Key battleground councils including Southampton, Crawley and Hastings were all held by the Labour Party despite concerns that Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership may have disillusioned swing voters outside of the party's traditional heartlands in the North of England and Wales.

Labour was projected to lose about 200 councils and face a dip in their vote share by about 5%. Instead, the Reds won 1326 seats(according to the Statement released by the Press Association) and saw an increase in their vote share by 3%.

However, it was not an especially good day for them. Not in the eyes of the mainstream media, at least. Despite the huge attention paid to the performance of Jeremy Corbyn’s party, the Conservatives actually suffered a net loss of more than twice as many council seats as the Labour Party, the final local election results have revealed.

With all but one of 124 contested councils having finally declared their results, it can be revealed that the Tories are down 47 seats compared to 18 for Labour.

True, it wasn't a good day for Corbyn in Scotland. They shifted to the 3rd position and the Conservative Party emerged as the second largest party in the region, after the Scottish National Party(SNP, another far-left organization).



Mainstream Media Outlets like the BBC and Sky News kept repeating the results of the Scottish Parliament Elections, while deliberately hiding the results of the Welsh Parliament(where the Reds gained an absolute majority) or the English Parliament Elections, where the Reds won again.

Anyone with more than 2 brain cells will realize that the last elections were a disaster for Cameron and his colleagues, while Corbyn is at a much better position. Ironically, the mainstream outlets have replaced the 'Conservatives' with 'Labour', and have tried to pilfer any amount of garbage they can to back their claims and accomplish their propagandist objectives.



All-in-all, here are the results you need to take a look at:

• Labour: 1326 seats; 58 councils

• Conservatives: 842; 38 councils

• Liberal Democrats: 378 seats; 4 councils

• Green Party: 45 seats; 0 councils

• UK Independence Party: 58 seats; 0 councils

• No Overall Control: 24 councils

The scene is much different in Scotland, actually. The Scottish Left have shifted to the SNP, perhaps due to Milliband's unexpected answer to the Scottish Independence. In the recent times, John Mann's words have further deteriorated the Labour Party in Scotland.

But, things look very bright for Labour.
They have increased their vote share by 3%. Had the General Elections been held today, the Conservatives would have lost by 15 seats to Corbyn's 285 seats. Labour, itself, would not have been able to form a government on its own. However, an alliance with the SNP/Plaid Cymru/Greens cannot be ruled out.

Laura Kuenssburg's 'neutral reporting', The Sun's daily bashing, The BBC's 'Disaster for Corbyn' has only fueled the Corbyn-wind.

As much as the mainstream media hates Corbyn for his anti-establishment principles, the collective struggle of the people simply cannot be deterred. And this has been proved by the fact when over 30,000 users came together to launch an online petition to sack the infamous Tory-lite BBC Reporter, in under 24 hours. They are not Corbyn supporters, mind you. They are normal voters. Voters who want to save the NHS, want the 1% to pay up their fair share of taxes and have a better future for their kids.



Which side are you on?

We, for one, are not 'right'.
