Labour - 24%
3rd place. Worst figures for Labour since records began. If these figures were reflected in a national general election, the Conservatives would hold a great majority.
Unfortunately, Gordon Brown, unelected, has been running scared of such an election since he came to power, so we have another 2 years to wait and suffer.
Also removed today was Red Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, beaten by conservative Boris Johnson. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/...day-for-labour | Why do you think a conservative government would be any less intrusive? It seems to me there is so little difference between the parties nowadays it hardly matters who you vote for. 'Red' Ken as you call him and of course Gordon Brown was very cushy with cooperations, the latter has recently suffered bad publicity for imposing extra tax on the poor. Boris has since endorsed the congestion charge. The London vote was purely based on personalities in my opinion.
