County Council Elections
The one thing that shines out in these results is that the Coalition parties did bad but not devastating bad .

Labour Party managed to just about get back to the position they was in 4 years ago when these County Council and Unitary Authorities where last fought for . There is according to some people in politics a feeling that we will vote for Labour but with Ed Milliband in power .

Conservative Party Grandees must be thinking what have we done to deserve UKIP turning up , remember it was the Eurosceptics in the Conservative that eventually killed off John Major's Government in 1997 and what did we get 13 yrs of Blair / Brown , will this be the same ?

Liberal Democrats now these must be thinking things can only get better , coming 7th in South Shields parlimentary By-Election has to be very painful , of the two coalition parties they seem to have come out of this quite badly , maybe because they have backtracked on so many of there policies to come in line with the Conservative line .

UKIP now where do we go from here , Eastleigh and South Shields have proved that sooner rather than later they will get a big scalp . UKIP seemed to take seats off all parties but most of them did come from dis-satsified Conservative Voters , they now have four years in those council seats to consolidate themselves into a 4th electable party not a fringe one issue party.
