What a night!
Congratulations to all the new Conservative councillors with a net gain of 316! What a wonderful result; gaining over 200 seats from Labour. With Labour experiencing a net loss of 319 seats this proves that the voters are becoming increasingly frustrated with this crumbling government. Also important is that the Lib Dems failed to make any ground, a net gain of only 2!!!
This result has certainly scared Mr. Blair, already this morning he has had a Cabinet reshuffle: goodbye Mr. Clarke and good ridance to you!
Unfortunately there were few gains in the north but this will come; Cameron has only been leader for six months and already, as yesterday's vote has proved, has made a very positive impact on the image of the Conservatives.
And finally, an ICM poll yesterday showed that the voters would have more faith in the Conservatives running the NHS than Labour! The NHS traditionally being Labour's stronghold!!
Although we must certainly not get carried away by these results it undoubtedly shows that, when Blair finally does step down, Cameron and his party will be ready for a real fight for power.
