Cade Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The thing to look at in council elections is turnout. Usually these have very low turnout so can't be used to judge anything on a national scale. A rise in turnout is usually a bad thing for a sitting government, as it means people are using local elections to give them a bloody nose.
