@vulpi320 Electionmapsuk is comparing to the most recent member in the ward who was up for election, rather than the specific member involved with this by election, which is why you see weird shit like this sometimes
@JoshHousden The whole idea of Restore is to take votes from other right wing parties. All their really good performances have been in already right wing areas where they just stole those voters. More difficult to do that in a left leaning red wall ward
Ok not a bad night at all.
- 3* gains
- 1 loss
- 2 failed to gain
Thats a net gain of 2*, ill take it
*Failsworth West councillor was elected under reform but became an indy later, so in reality its 2 gains and 1 hold, and a net gain of 1
@Xolgy18083 A couple councillors doesnt really matter, but it's good to look at how we are doing over many weeks to see where the mood of the country is
@moyesboyjoe@of_glory1002 Thats a very sensible choice, it comes down to making compromises for what will benefit the country the most. For example i would encourage anyone living in Great Yarmouth to vote restore over reform since they are doing way better there than reform is
This does a good job explaining why i believe reform benefits the most from a labour collapse rather than the tories who are on paper more similar. Look at how little movement there is between the uniparty, compared with the dozens of seats switching between labohr and reform
