British Local Elections, May 2024

So today I learned that Andy Street is in a relationship with Michael Fabricant, notorious wig wearing MP for Lichfield.

Anyway, even though the tories deserve to lose everything, I voted for Street in spite of that as he's really done a good job. Also, if Labour win by too much they'll rest on their laurels and start cozying to the extreme left again.

I pop back round once in a while when there's a UK election.

While we didn't have any normal elections in Brum, we did have a special one. Apparently if the swing was replicated the council would be under Tory control. Of course this is a very vague analysis, and the ward itself is Selly Oak where all the UoB students live so not that representative. Possibly impact of the bankruptcy tho. I guess we'll know more tomorrow once we know the Mayor results.

Based on this I'm guessing whether Street wins or not will be down to how many votes the candidate for mayor of Gaza managed to syphon off.
