We lost wards we didn't expect to lose and didn't lose ones we expected to!



When June Bridle lost her seat in Sholing, it was down to Councillor Jackie Rayment to face the music in the guildhall. On the BBC's Politics Show (about 48 mins in) and in The Daily Echo, she said,

"We lost wards we didn't expect to lose and didn't lose ones we expected to."

Interesting! Bearing in mind labour lost 15 of the 17 seats they contested, I wonder which of the two seats, Bevois or Woolston, they expected to lose?

They put too much effort in attempting to save one of the two headed beasts and neglected the rest of their candidates.

Both Labour and Lib Dems have lost the trust of the electorate locally and it was a deserved win for the tories.

Hopefully we will soon have true Liberal's on the council so we can offer true opposition to the tories which the electorate can trust.
