I know who I won”t be voting for! There is one Green candidate standing in my ward so I reckon one vote for him. The other two i shall spread between some suitable-looking Lib Dems.
As the Electoral Commission points out, voter turnout for local elections is usually pretty low - on average they estimate 30%.
It will be interesting to watch how the elections will affect a Councils “overall control”. Rumours are rife everywhere of course, and the london se1 community website reports potential “upsets” in Southwark and Lambeth - both councils are in a “no overall control” situation. Southwark has been run by a minority Liberal Democrat administration whilst in Lambeth the Lib Dems and the Conservatives formed a coalition.
