The main beneficiary of the swing against the two main parties – which are in talks to try to break the impasse in the UK parliament over Brexit – was the pro-EU Liberal Democrats, who had won 343 councillors so far, and said they hoped to make further gains in European Parliament elections on May 23.
The Greens have gained 63 and “Others” that’s independent candidates are up 256 – thats 25% of the 69 wards where independent candidates are standing.
Nearly three years since the United Kingdom voted 52 percent to 48 percent to leave the EU, there is still no agreement among British politicians about when, how or even if we will actually leave the EU.
Britain was due to have left the EU on March 29, but PM May has been unable to get her deal approved by parliament and is now seeking the support of Labour, led by socialist Jeremy Corbyn.
