It was confirmed this afternoon that Labour have lost control of Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire, three of the their four remaining councils that the Tories were targeting.
Labour also lost power in Nottinghamshire to no overall control, meaning that they now run no English county councils.

They have a map of the local election results for England. The whole country has just turned blue, in a good way!!!
End of the beginning for Nu Labour!
As each day passes, more countries move to the right of Obummer.
Won’t it be ironic when ObaMao is isolated by our allies as the only anti-American leader remaining in the free world?
Eventually people have enough. Unfortunately they are not proactive about stopping the nonsense before it takes hold.

Torn between LMAO and punching a hole in my monitor...
When are the British European Elections?
Yes and he is dealing with Obama of the Hood and his band of merry thugs
They were held yesterday along with the council elections. They’re holding off announcing the results until all of the EU countries have completed voting on Sunday.
Why hold off..?
Can we assume that the Conservatives, BNP, UKIP, Greens, Liberals, Indep picked up seats, and that Labour bombed??
Because voting happens over 4 days. They don’t want early announcements to influence other elections.
The West Lothian question comes to life.
Labour's left wing wanted so badly to be rid of Tony Blair. It's not exactly turning out as they thought!
I figure that China is to his right on economics, and Russia is certainly stronger on their own national security. I think that every country in Europe not in the Iberian peninsula is to his right. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand are all well to the right of the O.
As I understand it Labour is running fourth in the EU election, behind the Tories, the Liberal Democrats, and the UK Independence party, they are trailed by the Greens, then the BNP.
Nice photo. :)
Although that Caroline Flint who just bailed on Gordo is pretty. She really stabbed Gordo in the back with her resignation letter.
From what I’ve read Labour is going to lose bigtime and UKIP, the Greens and BNP are going to do pretty well.
Whereas socialism has proven to be devastating for any economy saddled by it, why would 0 be the designated leveler of US to the benefit of those other countries?
Maybe?
Recall all those foreign Mickey Mouse's credit card contributions to his campaign: Quid pro quo.
Nah, couldn't be.
Simply saying is all. ;)
It is simple. He was born to a hippy mother, grew up with a Muslim stepfather and a father figure who was a long time communist cadre. Went to prestigious colleges who teach all how rotten our country is, and had no basis to resist this brainwashing. Then he was befriended by veterans of the weather underground, and trained in ‘community organization’. Any chance he might see something virtuous in the American system was doused by involvement with the totally corrupt Chicago political system, and religious mentors who told him ‘God Damn America’.
It is clear that he has been turned into a well crafted tool to destroy the United States and everything Americans believe in.
He could not achieve this on his own. Each of the specific friends to whom you alluded were not enough to enforce acquiescence to all that we have witnessed; for instance, the soft resistance to his diktats and czar appointments.
Maybe its old timers disease, but I can never figure out who is conservative and who is liberal in England. If anyone can help, which party is which? Thanks
They were a yesterday or the day before, the Netherlands also voted.
That’s very good. Congratulations!
tories are the conservatives.
The Tories, officially the Conservatives, are generally speaking conservative. The Labour Party grew from the trade union movement, is left of American Democrats, and has been one of the two main parties since the end of WWI. The Liberal Democrats was formed in 1988 from a coalition of former labourites who opposed the Labour party’s increasing neutralism in the Cold War and the Liberal party or Whigs, who had been one of the two major parties up to and including WWI. The Liberals had originally been libertarians or 19th century liberals, but had more and more given up on the free market, while remaining social liberals. This new party is sometimes called the Libdems. The British National Party (BNP) is generally comsidered hard right, are anti immigrant and anti free market, and are sort of liker Pat Buchanan on speed. The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) is a more free market offshoot of the Tories who oppose strengthening the European Union. The Green Party, as it is internationally is a watermellon party, like Labour but with a fanatical environmentalism. There are a number of parties in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland which support autonomy or independence for these Celtic areas. In addition there are a number of independents in parliament, and dozens of other parties without enough support to elect a member of politics.
You are welcome. My post was rather oversimplified, I’m afraid! ;-)
It makes one wonder how the heck England even governs itself..
Well all of the three traditional parties are giving up on the ideas of British self-government, in favor of the EU. Thus the UKIP and the BNP.
