Tories Gain In British Elections: Europe Trending Right?
"Gordon Brown mauled by voters in 'bad night' for Labour" from Times of London reports on the slamming that the British Labour Party took in what is somewhat like their midterm elections - and don't bode well for Gordon Brown's future as party leader.
This would seem to indicate a trending to the right in Europe - Angela Merkel in Germany, Nicholas Sarkozy in France - and now David Cameron and his Tories taking it to Labour...
With results still coming in from elections around England and Wales, Labour’s projected national vote share was put at just 24 per cent, trailing 20 points behind David Cameron’s Conservatives on 44 per cent, and even behind the Liberal Democrats on 25 per cent.
The margin was similar to the drubbing received by John Major in council elections in 1995, two years before he was ejected from Downing Street by Tony Blair. Latest analysis suggests that the Tories would enjoy a landslide Commons majority of between 138 and 164 seats if the results were repeated in a general election.
