You'll see a lot of commentary this weekend about how the results of Thursday's local elections signal a major change in English politics;
what it really may show is politics beyond the M25 (outside the cosy Westminster Village's historic duopoly) has (re)asserted itself for good or ill (depending on which party you may support).
What has really changed is that that voters have finally given up on mainstream parties doing anything for them; what that will lead to is another matter!
@ChrisMayLA6 This is a golden opportunity for mainstream parties! Will they be aggressive and shrewd enough to show that they are different? Or will they just collapse back into status quo?
@ChrisMayLA6 Let's hope not. The more parties, the better! But I am cynical, and I believe, sadly, that you are right. =(
