Westminster in London has fallen for the first time on the side of Labour. Labor also prevails in Southampton. With the vote count not finalized, the election is consolidating Labour’s upward trend and the Conservatives’ gradual decline.
The Conservative Party has suffered defeat in a number of historic feuds in the UK’s local elections to be held this Thursday.
Westminster, in London, has fallen to the side of Labor for the first time since its founding in 1964, and Labor has also triumphed in Southampton. The ‘tories’ have lost control of two other strongholds, such as Wandsworth, a conservative fief since Margaret Thatcher’s time, and Barnet.
With the vote count unfinished, the election consolidates the upward trend of the Labor Party, which has won dozens of councillors, and the gradual decline of the Conservatives, whom the BBC has already reported this morning to a setback from more than a hundred of elected officials in England.
Despite Labor’s symbolic victories against the ‘Tories’, the Labor Party has failed to celebrate a global victory that its leader, Keir Starmer, could have claimed in Downing Street as an alternative to Boris Johnson. The Liberal Democrat party, which has also improved its data, has partly overshadowed Labour’s triumphs.
In any case, Starmer considers it a “big turning point”: “We have sent the Prime Minister a message: the UK deserves better,” he said.
Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden has acknowledged in statements to Sky News that the formation has achieved “difficult results” in places, but has pointed out that Labor “without a doubt” is not yet “on the road”. can”.
In addition to England, local elections have also been held in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, although the count is slower in these cases. In Northern Ireland they have also held parliamentary elections where the nationalist party Sinn Féin wants to win for the first time.
