Conservatives in power, followed by NDP and then Labour. I find this funny.

There's a lot of information on the BBC site

The result map picture is where I live :o
Thing is, this isn't really indicative of how people will vote in a General Election. People tend to vote according to their local interests in these elections, and no matter what Labour are saying about being reprimanded for Iraq, most people said that if they did feel negatively towards the government over it they weren't going to let that influence their vote. At the end of the day, local elections are about as far as you can get from global politics. Good to see the Lib Dems are still inching forward though.

assuming they pick up the same % of votes at a general election, which is wildly optimistic, they're likely to pick up 0 seats. a great haul.

in other news, it's retarded that the article refers to them as the "Labor party"....
