The End Result - Election Day Review


BBC News: Reports on Election Day Results. Well folks it was a very good night for the Conservative Party, in Wales the Conservative Party gained 14 Seats, making them the 2nd Party of Wales after the Labour Party on 30 Seats. In the English Local Elections it was a miracle folks, thus far the Conservatives have added 81 ( as of 8.10pm ) Council Seats to their numbers, the Labour Party has gained 800 Council seats but this was at the expense of the Liberal Democrats and others. The Conservative Party overall had 35% of the vote to Labours 37%. Before the election night it was expected that the Tories would lose hundred of seats, this has not happened. Thus a great night for Coalition PM David Cameron. Also the Conservative Party with support of half of the Labour Party has won the NO vote in the AV referendum, a major defeat for the Liberal Democrats and Ed Miliband the Labour Leader. On the whole election night was a disaster for the Liberal Democrats, the junior partner in the Coalition Government has been battered in England, Wales and Scotland, there have been calls by some in the Liberal Democrats for the Party to have more of a distinct persona in the Government, this would be a mistake, your either in Government or not, that is the choice faced by Lib Dems. On the whole A+ for the Conservatives, C- for the Labour Party and D- for Lib Dems.
