UK Conservatives Celebrate As Red Ken Gets the Axe
Sat, May 3, 2008 at 8:32:55 am PST
Over at ConservativeHome’s ToryDiary, they’re still partying over the defeat of loony left London mayor “Red Ken” Livingstone.
Winning London. Ousting Ken Livingstone - something never achieved by Margaret Thatcher or Tony Blair. Holding as many councils in Wales as Labour. Winning Bury in the North West and North Tyneside in the NE. Winning Southampton - an achievement that elections specialist Michael Thrasher said was beyond the reach of any party. More than 300 extra councillors - three times as many gains as the LibDems. A 44% share of the national vote. Not only Labour defeated but clueless as to how they might recover. A majority of Westminster insiders now (for the first time) predicting Tory victory at the next General Election.
