    Local elections: if the party does well, they say it's an endorsement of national policies and leadership. If they do badly, they say it's due to local issues.
    Edit: to be fair to Kier Starmer, he just took responsibility 😂

      Yep. Except revered over here.
      If a state does well, in the eyes of the party the governor is from, is because of local policy, in the eyes of the other party, it’s the national policies
      If they do worse, flip it

    Note that today the local ellections are happening in England, not across the UK, and the two tierd system you described is, again, an Englissh system, not a UK-wide system. In Scotland, for instance, things work a bit differently, as local government is not a reserved matter and sits with Holyrood. So it would have been better to clarify at the start that this information only applies to England, as the script and graphics implied it was UK-wide.

      ​@@feelsbradman6793 It's funny though, I was having a conversation last night with one of my friends who is English but living in Scotland.
      Both of us agreed that far too often what it means to be British is conflated with English (although this tends to be more with people from other countries who don't understand the unique relationship that the UK nations have).
      However, as someone from Scotland, I know what it means to be Scottish, but honestly I don't know what it means to be British because to me I associate Britishness with stereotypes of the south of England, and everything about me is Scottish (the only exception being my passport).
      I would never really say that I’m British, and that probably comes from the strong Scottish identity that I feel.

      @@GeordiePredator1998 How kafkaesque that Labour (and even the others) have to prove its innocence and dignify such slander, if one believes such things you are beyond reason. It's Mccarthyist and hysterical the fervor of which people bandy about cultural Marxist and to imagine that a huge section of this country either willfully or taciy destroy it from within like some kind of dangerous cult.
      If this minority of Tory voters genuinely believe these things then it's not even the fault of opportunistic demagogues who sow this rhetoric, it's the sin of our citizenry for readily accepting these narratives unquestioningly.
      I commend the Conservatives and their bankrollers for their artifice as they are playing politics well, at least they coalesce their minority of voters under their single brand into a viable strategy, however underhanded and nefarious.
      However Labour the second horse in this race hasn't consolidated the remainder, the lib dems have no raison d'etre as do the greens, both are glorified hobby parlour club parties who pretend and LARP about state management but really only exist as superfluous ways of spoiling one's ballot.
      It's easy to blame Tory voters but honestly they've always existed and appear in most parliamentary first past the post systems around the world, yet for all their consternation lib dem and green voters ought to know better than to vote on "principle" as though it absolves them of the guilt of whatever malfeasance the Tory government commit as a result of their aggregate votes.

      In my opinion it's because they no longer share the ethos or culture of the working class - which has been their traditional voting base.
      You may argue their economical policies are better for them, but in terms of culture they are incredibly politically correct, ″woke″, far left in some ways, support movements such as BLM, are seen to be anti-Brexit and culturally on these issues and more have aligned themselves with the elitest, rich class and elitist mega corporations who all don't represent the working class.
      You can say what you want about these things, but many in the working class and wider society don't support these cultural and social positions.
      On top of that the government is seen to be doing a good job with the pandemic, with Labour not providing a different enough opposition to them - meaning they are in many ways like the Conservative Party right now. This means there isn't a good enough reason for many to actively vote for them.

      @@HungTran-gz5emyeah it's the urban areas that are more culturally aligned with the Labour party vs the rest of England.
      Wales is traditionally Labour and their image of being the working class party still is intact over there. The Conservatives are by far more unpopular in Wales.
      It's important to note though that the Welsh Labour party are different to the English Labour party as they have full autonomy on policy that the Welsh government can control through devolution. This means that the Welsh people may see the Labour party in Wales as a little bit different to the English one lead by Starmer. Though, most of it is the fact that Wales is a Labour heartland.
      Further, the Welsh Labour government have been seen to be doing a good job concerning the pandemic in Wales too by many. It must also not be forgotten that there is a independence movement in Wales like Scotland which affects voting patterns as well.
      Nevertheless, this was a decent result for the Welsh Conservatives as they increased their constituency vote share by 5% and regional vote share by 6%, giving them 5 more seats than the previous election with 16 seats in the Senedd and becoming the official opposition party. Though the Conservatives didn't gain from Labour.
      So, you could say Wales did kind of follow the national trend in much smaller way in terms of Conservative success.

      @@JontyLevine My hope for the UK is Labour gets wiped out and then Tories with what is frankly a broad and unwieldy base only held together by its disdain for Labour will collapse into two new parties that both have a love of their country's history, culture and traditions, but on economic issues one is more Market Liberal like the Tories traditionally have been and the other focuses on Economic Security like Labour used to. Two parties free of all this woke nonsense and the fate of Labour a reminder of what happens when you actively hate your country and it's people.

    5:11 and 5:33, for some reason you put the Green party 4th in the order, but they were only 5th in nuber of councillors (although talked about 4th) and 6th in number of total councils. I find it strange (possible bias) that you did that, and obviously it wasn't on accident since when listing number of councils you put them out of order.

    Sadly too few people realise the vaccine roll out is succesfull because it's run by the NHS and not the government, unlike the "NHS Track & Trace" which wasn't run by the NHS and failed. There needs to be a big push to deligitimise the credit the government is taking for the vaccine rollout!

      Though worth mentioning for-balance that all of the vaccines the NHS are currently giving-out were developed by private-companies, and without them the NHS would have nothing to offer... so NHS can't be given full-credit, either.

    There are two main factors in local, devolved, mayoral and Commissioners elections.
    One: fir all parties to take a live pulse of their support and use it in planning for future elections and possible referendums.
    Two: to select who honestly outside of brexit, a done deal people who hold true power. Local representation holds a larger per capita legistlative impact at least in the US and Canada. And I'm guessing the UK is little different. The big one's im watching tonight is the hollyrood and London mayoral elections as the hollyrood elections if a snp landslide will give Backford and Sturgeon a mandate for an independence referendum.
