Nationalist candidates in this year’s elections
Posted by admin978 on May 4, 2017 · Leave a Comment
Polls have closed in local elections held today across many parts of the country – with the notable exception of Greater London. These elections will be seen as a dress rehearsal for next month’s general election, but are likely to be distorted by very low turnouts.
The big losers this week are likely to be UKIP and Labour, with gains for the SNP, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Click here for updated results and analysis of the bigger election picture.
