Am I mistaken, or........
Are Thursday's elections getting more air time than normal?
It seems to me that they are, so it'll interesting how many people (don't?) get off their ***** and head to the polling stations.
Turnout in locals, is normally about one in four at best, so will the figure this time be higher?
Of course in Wales and Scotland, they're electing their devolved assemblies, which should attract a few more to put their X on the ballot papers.
Which leader will be smiling the most come Friday morning? I'm not holding my breath that it'll be the MP for Holborn and St Pancras!

Reforms new policy certainly kicked up a storm. Greens up in arms, which is exactly what they wanted. A daft policy, but very clever.
Thursday's results will be very interesting. Amazing some of the numbers being thrown around. Labour could lose over 1800 seats according to 1 report.
Mind boggling number and shows how far they have fallen in a short period of time.
Hopefully the turnout will be higher, but if people are just voting on soundbites then that isn't helpful either.
People only seem to be interested in politics when the country is doing very well or very badly.

1) A report on the box today said it could be Labour's worst day ever on Thursday. If this transpires, will Starmer fall on his sword? I must confess that I won't lose any sleep if he does!
2) Earlier today, I was speaking to a local Labour activist I've known for years, and his prediction was "Around 34%." But personally, I would suggest that less than one in four of those who are entitled to vote, will actually do so!
3) Your comment reminds me of the time when Thatcher won an election here, based on what happened in and around Port Stanley!
