British Politics...

It looks like Labour took a drumming in local elections in England and Wales. I had the feeling that the Conservatives might win, but I would not have predicted the Liberal Dems would also edge Labour in vote percentages. The Labour administration, running since 1997, may well be experiencing governing coalition fatigue. Additionally, this is probably indicative of the old "it's the economy stupid" mentality of voters, who given a ballot during uncertain economic times will often go for change. An interesting word choice, I know, and I admit I'm postulating how Cameron and Obama would work out as an Anglo alliance... It seems odd, but then again who would have thought the Blair-Bush love affair would be so resilient.
