No results yet for me.

Wow FannyC- that is telling!

I know! Here’s a screenshot from The Derby Evening Telegraph.
I wonder if it happened in other areas, and whether they are going to stick with the name?

No elections here. I’m watching what’s happening elsewhere, though.

Sorry, Derby didn’t have Green candidates in all wards, including my own.
I voted for 2 Lib Dem’s and 1 Labour. The people who have a high profile and I know do a good job

What I did notice FP is that, on the ballot paper, the Tory candidates have called themselves ‘Local Conservatives’ rather than the usual ‘The Conservative Party’.

This is definitely a new thing, they obviously wanted to distance themselves from the government.
How mad is that?

We didn’t have any Green candidates to vote for at all.
I’m in Derby

No results where I live yet in Cheshire.

Conservatives are getting such a beating- no surprises there however.

What is happening where you are?
