England local elections, May 2015

Since the count is over hopefully BBC comes up with the implied vote share from the local elections.  Looking at the seat count it seems the LD meltdown at the local level is more contained.  They "only" lost 1/3 of their seats.   UKIP gained some seats but not that much and the level of gains about the same as 2013 and 2014.  I would be interested in what the implied UKIP vote share is.

Why is it after 3 days 11 Councils have not released results.  I assume it is because they do not count on the weekend and they were too busy counting Thursday and Friday the national election votes ?  Even then the speed seems very slow.

Is the BBC going to calculate a projected national vote shares like in previous years.  It would be interesting to see the UKIP result since that number would be less effected by UKIP voter tactical voting when compared to the Parliamentary vote.
