On the 2/5/24 local council elections were held in England. Also a parliamentary bye election was held in Blackpool South. This blog will argue that these elections show a total lack of public faith in the corporate globalist political bloc of the ‘Labour’ Conservative, Liberal Democrats, Green and Reform Party,s.
Starting with the ‘Labour’ party victory in Blackpool South. The voter turn out was an astonishing low of 32.5%. The ‘Labour’ party victory vote of 10825 was lower than their election defeat vote of 12557 in the 2019 general election. This clearly as I have already stated shows a total lack of public faith in the mainstream corporate political parties.
Turning to the local elections. The main factor that stands out from these elections is the very low turn out. Averaging in the early 30 per cent. The media were heavily concentrating on a key vote in a West Midlands Mayor elections. But what stood out in this election as far as I am concerned was the 29.8% turn out. This again I feel shows the total lack of public faith in the corporate globalist political bloc in this country.
As expected the Conservatives suffered major losses in the elections. The gains being distributed between the ‘Labour’ Liberal Democrat, Green parties and various independent candidates.
The national vote based on the local elections was ‘Labour’ 35%, Conservative 26%, Liberal Democrats 16% and others 22%.’ ‘Labour’ would win 294 seats in a general election, Conservatives 226,Liberal Democrats 38 and others 66 seats.
In conclusion as an anti globalist socialist i feel that we need to build a mass anti globalist socialist movement in this country that is opposed to the EU, NATO and the WEF.
Best wishes to all for the future.
