Jel Shaker posted:bah it’s lazy analysis where they just spread the vote change across the country and assume every ward is a perfectly spherical cow, its not taking into account the weird peculiarities of uk elections It's also a media tactic to try and make the election seem closer than it most likely will be. A sure thing sells no papers.

Around here the shitey Green who didn't even bother publishing a manifesto beat the good Labour guy by a significantly increased margin. Kindof a shame, Labour will still take the council but this was one of the leftier candidates (probably why he stood around here). e: And the PCC is a Tory too. None of my votes really worked out.

Lol Kieth I know it feels nice to think that, and absolutely lol that if Labour were just a tiny bit less shite on Gaza, their lead would have been even more pronounced, but at the same time, you can't really downplay the fact that they are up 8 councils so far. Like it or not, Starmer's brand of pragmatic blandness (or bland of pragmatic brandness) has worked on a non-insignificant amount of people. Of course, there's plenty of time to squander whatever goodwill there is before GE, if such a thing still exists. Private Speech posted:Around here the shitey Green who didn't even bother publishing a manifesto beat the good Labour guy by a significantly increased margin.

Labour don’t really have much of a lead over the Tories. What they are doing is performing relatively better against their real competitors, the Lib Dem’s, than the Tories are doing against reform. This very likely is because Keith was born able to make a convincing impression of a guy who plans to do or change nothing. Which is exactly what his target audience wants. Whereas Sunak is obviously not in a great position to be able to present himself as a guy who gets really worked up over woke trans gay immigrants. Any time he tries, he seems as pathetic as Keith when he offers hope.

I originally assumed it was Reform Arseholes or something due to the colour, with residents' associations being under Independent due to lack of a formal party. How many seats did Reform get in the end, one?

can't really go "lol labour are tepid dog piss" because people are very much voting for the tepid dog piss (in the context of other options not being terribly inviting). labour have only lost 2 councils so far to no overall control, and turned 10 others.

Labour won Avon and Somerset PCC only winning by 3000 votes with Greens picking up 65k and Lib Dem 45k. Kier Starmer still doesn’t support voting reform.

Kojiro posted:I'm in Bradford and a lot of pro-Palestine indepedants have won out over Labour here, so not all tories by any means. Labour hold overall though Yeah the independent in my Bradford ward defeated the Labour incumbent. His leaflet opened with ‘a vote for Labour is a vote for Keir Starmer’, then Starmer’s quote about Israel having the right to cut off water and power to Gaza, then ‘Say no to genocide, say no to war crimes’. Labour pretty much did all his campaigning for him.

They hold the SNP in the same contempt that they do Corbyn and the Left. An entity that turned up and ruined their "Who else you going to vote for?" strategy.

They do the usual online content thing of trying to make attention grabbing headlines out of things that have rather dubious backing if you actually look up what they're based on. It's basically daily mail "everything either causes or cures cancer" bollocks except with a left flavour. In this case, amusingly, the source being some allegedly actual news source making up a dubiously credible poll to get headlines.

because most of the time i feel like they're repackaging numbers without really understanding them in order to do numbers on left twitter. i don't have receipts though. however, to be fair, on this occasion they have commented to suggest that they also think this projection is horseshit (extrapolating GE projections from locals isn't really accurate) https://x.com/LeftieStats/status/1786470532621238621 e: sky news produces a lot of bollocks so i'm not sure what the criteria is for sharing it

I had always taken statsforleties with a pinch of salt but seen them as reliable as people who are analysing someone elses data can be. They are like a reverse yougov as they have a left bias. They loving hate starma so I am not saying they love labour or think they are leftwing.

Projecting a general election on results from whatever set of councils are voting this year seems like a terrible idea. In their own article Sky talk about how different patterns for voting in councils has increased the vote for independents. oh they've also just assumed Scotland and NI will be exactly the same as last time. did somebody just want to fill some column inches

Apraxin posted:it feels like the big thing that spells Humiliation for Looser Rishi if it holds (unless he can somehow persuade are nige to stop shiving him) is that most of the wards where reform were standing had results like: It's basically a reverse 2019 - Boris has a bunch of Labour seats in the North fall into his lap due to the Brexit Party taking labour voters, and then the media breathlessly asked "how did Boris convince Labour voters to vote Tory???" ignoring all the evidence they didn't switch to Tory (pretty similar total vote to 2017), they just didn't vote labour. Now Starmer is getting the same boost. Sadly doubt it'll end with him getting booted out of being PM in disgrace.
