Looks as though Labour have lost Merthyr and Blaenau Gwent!!
That stuff spouted about you only need to wear a red rosette up the Valleys to win is out of date and has been for years
"Political scientist Professor John Curtice urges people to remember that Labour has not been consistently in control of Merthyr Tydfil and Blaenau Gwent councils in recent years.
The party lost control in 1999 and in 2008 - while in 2004 it only had a majority of one, he says.
Meanwhile, Labour also lost Blaenau Gwent in 2008," Prof Curtice adds. "Labour's hold on these South Wales valleys has not been as firm as is often thought for some time."
Go to Scotland and there's probably a party that can rely on votes whoever they field as a candidate, but in England and Wales, there's only one and they blue rosettes, not red.
Labour hold Cardiff - glad I'm moving.
Can I come with you? :biggrin:Quote:
