UK local elections update

Counting is proceeding slowly, which is normal. The current trends are that the Conservatives are losing quite a few seats, but with them winning the largest share by far in the last election, they also have the most to lose. UKIP is losing a massive percentage of their seats, while the Greens are increasing their seat count significantly. The Liberal Democrats meanwhile look set to double their total, while Labour is down in some of the specific areas they've traditionally done well in.

The biggest winners so far are the Independents, either separately, are in unions such as Residents' Associations.

All of this, however, is from England.

Northern Ireland results are slow to come in, and, as I wish to fully detail them, I will wait for more results before making a post on them.
