The World According to a Surrey Conservative

2007 results

Here are the results from the elections in England last night.

The Conservatives have gained 898 councillors and now have a total of 5243 councillors and gained control of 38 councils with a total now of 163 councils. A good night for us then, but it would have been nice to storm into places like Manchester.

Labour have lost 495 councillors and now have a total of 1865 councillors and they also lost 8 councils and now have a total of 34 councils.

The Lib Dems did not do as bad as Labour. They lost 246 councillors and 4 councils. They now have 2162 councillors and control 23 councils.

In Scotland we have 17 seats and Labour have 46 seats and the SNP have become the most powerful party in Scotland with 47 seats.

In Wales we have 12 seats, while Labour have 26 seats.

Here is Iain Duncan Smith talking about the results.

Yet, Tony Blair calls it a "good springboard" to win the next general election. I prefer David Cameron's quote that the Conservative 41% share of the vote was "stunning".
