Wow!

17 LD Town Councillors out of 25, 28 out of 54 Borough Councillors, and a LD MP…

Strangely enough, not one Reform Councillor.

Well, no. But that will change with the next election, if Labour don’t cancel it.

Well, it didn’t change in the last two by-elections in June this year…

Wow, talking like the LibDems are relevant in any way.

I don’t believe they fielded any candidates, that’s why.

They are massive in Wokeingham (nice place with one or two oddballs ;) ), and very relevant nationally in 2010.

Your belief is not based on actuality…

Andy Croy (Labour) – 793 votes
Sara Gillman (Trade Unionist & Socialist Party) – 17 votes
Guy Grandison (Conservative) – 788 votes
Andrew Harris (Reform UK) – 486 votes
Samuel Langlois (Green) – 180 votes
Mike Smith (Liberal Democrats) – 1,028 votes (Elected)

They didn’t put up a candidate in the other by-election - I wonder why?

It’s still “anyone but the Tories”. I’m not surprised. The 60% that didn’t vote are Conservatives (imo) who have noted that much of the Tory front bench are among the failures from their 14 years in power.

We’ll, we’ll see what happens next time, won’t we? Things have changed - perhaps some people haven’t noticed….

So what? You know very well that different Wards and Constituencies support different political groups. The real test is the next full council elections.

The Wokingham Constituency has been Conservative for donkey’s ages, but recently, the dissatisfaction with them has been demonstrated in the ballot boxes, with the Lib Dems now in charge with a majority of one. There is growing dissatisfaction with their administration, and my guess is that former Conservative supporters will vote Reform in their droves come the next council election.

If you can’t acknowledge Reform UK’s growing popularity and why people are now turning to them in desperation, you are the one living in fantasy land.

I bet you didn’t see Brexit coming either, did you?
