Wow:
Labour slumped to a record low in yesterday’s local council elections as it was swept from power in its last four counties.
The party faced losing more than 300 seats as its projected share of the vote plummeted to 23 per cent, leaving it trailing in third place in the last big test of public opinion before a General Election.
Gordon Brown admitted the party had suffered a ‘painful defeat’…
…In one extraordinary snapshot of the anger felt by voters, a Monster Raving Loony Party member trounced two Labour candidates in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.
One wonders if Britain’s ridiculous Liberal-Democrat Party (successor to the Liberal Party, last ran Britain’s government in 1922) might come in second in the upcoming general election?
