UK Local Elections, 4th May 2017

The pattern of Labour won wards is pretty striking isn't it lol.

Isn't it

Are you suggesting that East Sutherland and Edderton is full of Orangemen?

It'd be interesting to see a comparison between that map and the map in the last set of local elections in which the Tories did comparably well.  I'm not sure when that would have been though: probably one of the last set of the two-tier council elections but the smaller wards and different voting systems would skew things

1982 regionals probably, in which they also took 25% of the vote. It was FPTP and not all wards were the same size, wards in Glasgow were 6 times larger than those in the Highlands

Worth noting that council party loyalties in Monklands remained untouched. Which was a actually a surprise given the oft overheard murmurs that the 'SNP are for Catholics'
