Ref- 9/51 (+9), 26.88% (new)
Grn- 4/51 (+4), 20.58% (+19.30%)

Labour hold the council (and more seats thanks to Green shenanigans)
but there is an opposition, and their vote halved from 22
@brian_oddfeet@Number10cat@jamesummer3@I_W_M The permanent bureaucracy means the replacement of parliamentary power, with power of the qango's
wonder why something like HS2 is so expensive and progress is basically halted? because the 'climate change committee' throws a hissy every time they try and build something.
@NoChildAbuse67@Morris_Fan_ I understand lean D
But cooper outperformed Clinton by 3, and Biden by 5
He isn’t some god tier candidate like so many people say

@brian_oddfeet@Number10cat@jamesummer3@I_W_M Not by name, but he said the sacrifice wasn’t worth it for what the country has become
And the country is where it is as a direct result of Blair and his systematic destruction of Parliament and the establishment of the permanent bureaucracy
@NoChildAbuse67@Morris_Fan_ Just checked wiki, didn’t realise both were around Trump+10
Even then I wouldn’t say either flip, I don’t see Cooper winning by over 5 which would be an 8pt shift
@cashcorleone27@ElectionMapsUK Lib Dems control Devon county council and Teignbridge district council
My mum and nan have to pull teeth in order to get any services from the council, and the potholes are absolutely terrible
So no, they are not very good as councillors.
@MGPforCongress almost like there's the law

and when you make it really easy to break the law, and don't enforce it, people break the law.
@supertanskiii ICE is deporing illegal immigrants
guns don't kill kids on their own
Trump isnt a rapist, a judge literally threw out that charge against him
