thank you for admitting - albeit tacitly - the complete vacuity of your position.

In which cities did the Tories’ 2017 electoral strategy actually work? | CityMetric
On Tories making inroads into leave or labour areas this is worth a look :

Still waiting for your take.
Interestingly the Labour woman on five live said much the same as me, Labour were connecting with metropolitan voters but not in smaller towns in eg the East and West Midlands.
But then I suppose people who use words like 'vacuity' listen to Five Live, or understand the demographic that Labour seems to be failing with.

you show no sign of answering the questions i asked you and until you do so i am not going to respond to your demands for my analysis.
What questions are you so desparate to know the answer to?

Automatic no, but estimates from polling had 45-57+% of UKIPs 2015 GE vote going Tory in the 2017 GE.

the ones i asked you
And what % to Labour, does it say?

11% according to YouGov, 18% Ashcroft.
You see I think Labour can do better than that. Obviously some kippers we don't want, but a sizable minority should be natural Labour voters who could be key in future.

So you're a member of the Labour party now?

No. I'm (or was) a registered supporter. I don't know if they still do that?
Basically I made a very small donation to the 2015 Labour election campaign. After the election they wrote to me to ask if I wanted to become a registered supporter and vote in the Labour leadership election. I did so.

From the results on the BBC website, Labour has done very poorly, given the depth of feeling against the Conservatives.
Everyone seems to have made their gains at the expense of UKIP, which now seems to be a busted flush.
The Conservatives have gained control in more councils than they have lost. Conservatives +6 councils, two lost to NOC and one to Labour, so nett, +3.
It doesn't say how many councils have still to declare though.
Ah, on the other map, Conservatives level on councils, Labour -1.

21% turnout in my ward - the results aren't up yet as I gather they're counting this afternoon.
That's not quite right. They've lost LB Richmond to the lib dems.

Well well. Our Labour candidate won by over 400 votes. I thought he would make gains but never thought he would win 
not sure how long this has been a safe Tory seat but am told over a decade 
ETA: Had been Tory for 21 years
I am taking full credit for delivering leaflets

It's a solidly Labour council so complacency is possibly a factor. I think there was only one lonely Libdem on the previous council - all the rest were Labour.
Most of the turnout data is online - the highest was 46%, lowest 17%.
Hackney mayoral election result just in:
"Phil Glanville, Labour: 42,645
Imtiyaz Lunat, Conservative: 7,183
Alastair Binnie-Lubbock, Green: 6,774
Pauline Pearce, Lib Dems: 4,846
Harini Iyengar, Women's Equality Party: 2,659
Vernon Williams: 577
Turnout was 36.9pc"
the Women's Equality Party didn't do badly
