Political commentators do talk a load of rubbish at election time. The tragedy is that local elections are so politicised that "party" has become more important than "candidate". I suspect we could substitute party name for candidate name on the ballot papers, it would make no difference to the results. These are not local elections anymore. Political commentators should accept much of the responsibility for this sad change.

Sadly I think this is spot on.
