| THERESA MAY JEREMY CORBYN Both leaders have lost voters' support due to their Brexit policies. |
The UK is today holding local elections for town councillors. So far, at 3.30 pm on Friday 3 May 2019 - both main parties are losing heavily and the Lib-Dems (Liberal Democrats) are sweeping back to power on a STOP BREXIT ticket.
Statisticians and pundits are interpreting the votes as if for Members of Parliament (MPs) at the next General Election - for control of parliament and The Government (Prime Minister and The Cabinet): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-48131095
Conservatives - 28%
Labour - 28%
Lib-Dems - 19%
Nigel Farage's old party, UKIP, has lost most of its councillors and are being thought of as finished - gone - wiped-out. Farage's new party, BREXIT (he resigns and reforms about three times a year), has not competed in these local elections because he didn't register it quickly enough. It will compete in the 23rd May, European Elections, which elects 70 MEPs (Members of the European Parliament). Farage is an MEP and hopes to retain his $120,000 a year sinecure - so he can continue to bite the hand that feeds him - and sabotage the European Union (EU). Like Adolf, Farage pledges to sweep all other parties into the sea.
The UK is still a Member State of the EU and is obliged to hold MEP elections.
Independent local councillors, who are not in any political party, are doing well in these local elections. The Party-System is crumbling.
England scoreboard
| PARTY | COUNCILLORS | CHANGE +/- |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 2604 | -937 |
| Labour | 1629 | -108 |
| Liberal Democrat | 1020 | +530 |
| Green | 172 | +135 |
| UKIP | 24 | -85 |
| Others | 816 | +465 |
What is left out of the equation is the other new party, Change-UK, The Independent Party, formed two months ago. These are seasoned MPs who have quit the Conservative and Labour Parties. They will fight the European Election on a REMAIN ticket. They will probably win as many seats as the Remain Lib-Dems, 19% or 13 MEP seats.
DELUDED: The losing parties' hacks are claiming that the surge of support for the Lib-Dems is a protest vote, urging parliament to get on, get it over with and deliver Brexit. It is clearly and unmistakably a vote to STOP BREXIT.
BELFAST: Yesterday, Canadian owned Bombardier, which makes parts of the Euro-Airbus in Belfast, announced it is pulling out of Belfast, which could cost up to 12,000 local jobs. My guess is that the owners think the EU will cancel the work if we Brexit; and the company will be insolvent.
Cheer leaders for Brexit are not addressing the news. It has long been predicted by all experts, including the UK government, that if we Brexit the UK will lose 8% of its GDP, which translates as 7 million jobs. These 12,000 jobs are part of that disaster. Ironically, Belfast voted to Remain; but are controlled by 10 rogue DUP (Ulster Unionist) MPs who would rather see N. Ireland bankrupt than co-operating with Southern Ireland and the EU. My guess is that N.Ireland will quit the UK and join the EU.
As will Scotland and Wales - The Disunited Kingdom.
