I know we have a thread already, but this is the poll I'm interested in.

If you're in England or Wales, you can see what your home seat is projected for here, although for council elections this kind of polling analysis is notoriously unrelaible.

I'm struggling to decide. My Labour councillors are good eggs, visible and seem aligned with my politics - so although I'd quite like to send a message to Prime Minister Keith and Labour (with my one paltry vote) and GO GREEN, I don't want to punish decent councillors
 
We’ve got an 18 year old Green candidate, bless him, so I’m going to encourage that.

I was only interested in pills and sex aged 18
 
Single choice poll when two of the countries voting have systems that give them TWO VOTES :kim:

As I said, SNP/Green, but SNP only because the Greens didn't stand in my constituency, otherwise it would have been both votes Green.

Same. I'm going to go SNP because the right have too great a chance in a constituency full of flagshaggers and, as it turns out Thewliss is indeed one of the better SNP MSPs so she's best kept within when the inevitable joistling for position when Swinney resigns happens.
 
My ward has always been Labour/Lib dem marginal. I do fear fucking Reform will come out of nowhere, we'll see. Only had Labour leaflets so far.
 
Bump for tomorrow (you can also now multi-choice if you have 2 votes).

Grimly fascinated by just how badly this goes for Labour.
 
Tactical Lib Dem for me. I would vote Green to be honest, but I cannot bear the thought of having a Reform councillor.

I voted!

SNP/Green. Would have been both votes green but they didn't stand in my constituency :(

Scotland current projection:


Wales:


I don't think anyone has been mad enough to even attempt to model the council elections, but the current westminster polling:
 
I know they've been cruelly smeared by the mainstream media simply for their words, actions and Anne Frank parody Threads accounts, but the Greens are giving me the ick, so it's back to Labour. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have me as one of their three supporters on Moopy and possibly also in the entire election.
 
It's pretty depressing when googling your county projection and Reform are winning. Then again, there was nothing for SNP and I found that rather bizarre. I think the safest choice will be Green (my first time voting them in ages) and SNP.
 
I'm looking forward to Reform winning a fair few bits and bobs and then continuing to evict grannies and put council tax up 3487348% because I think nothing will damage them more than them actually getting the chance to run councils.

My ward is projected to stay Lib Dem and I've contributed that way this morning. Heartened to see a lovely black lady with "Refugees Welcome" on her boobs (note: not "refugees welcome on her boobs") and a lovely pair of posh Waitrose shoppers loudly proclaiming about keeping Reform out on the way in.

But yeah, it looks BLEAK generally.
 
Labour has sent out a leaflet written by and endorsed by the (soon to be expelled) Lib Dem candidate, urging everyone to vote Labour instead to keep the weirdo independents out.

No elections here. But we already have this. Beautiful.

I'd have been interested to see how it would have panned out, given they have had two years here for people to gauge them, and on a hyperlocal level they have been quite heavy handed and unpopular.
 
I'm voting for my hyper-local candidate because they are great. Sadly we're being forecast a Reform win due to the masses of flag-shagging elderly who believe that Nigel will stop the boats and stop giving council houses to foreigners meaning they'll be able to afford heating again.
 
The fascist I nearly fucked is running for Reform again :D

What’s worrying is that they’re projected to win :zombie:
 
Only 18 of 51 council positions are up for grabs here but the projection is for Reform to take 4.

If that's correct we'll probably have a Lab-Lib minority council with Green holding all the power.

My ward looks to stay Labour, although I voted Green.

The Essex Council picture is a very different story. A Reform take over, which is such a nightmare. The only consolation is that Essex Council won't exist soon, and we'll have a new smaller regional Council with Braintree and Clacton (their current MPs are Priti Patel and Nigel Farage!). So not a consolation AT ALL.
 
Although I've just seen a prediction of six Reform wins which would wouldn't change much as I presume they're taking from the Tory countryside wards.
 
Labour. I'd have been tempted by a protest, but it's a Labour/Tory swing ward and I am NOT having Kemi any happier tomorrow than she needs to be.
 
OT: I rent office space in the building my council meet in. I am DESPERATE to see a Reform cunt in the lift so I can flounce out and say I refuse to share a lift with racists.
 
I’ve been canvassing all morning in a Green/Tory marginal. Some of the doorstep conversations have been predictably wild.
 
I think all the Tories around my way were already unionist flagshaggers so it should be a straight lift and shift in the vote. I did have to hold my nose a bit and vote SNP in the seat because they're least worst option and the actual candidate isn't bad, definitely on the correct side of the party.
 
Far be it from me to suggest that the sense of proportion may be a wee bit out of whack in these leafy suburbs, but I have been fielding a lot of very strong opinions on the SANCTITY of GRASS VERGES.
