The Liberal Democrats were the main beneficiaries of the Brexit impasse between the Tories and Labour
NOT ALL politics is local. Voters fed up with the political impasse in Westminster, nearly three years after the referendum to leave the European Union, lashed out at both the Conservatives and Labour in local elections on May 2nd. Instead, they gave their support to smaller parties that offered any sort of alternative.
Loyalists from the two main parties offered excuses for the poor performance. The Conservatives were defending a big haul of seats won in 2015, when local elections came at the same time as their surprise general-election victory under David Cameron. By contrast, Labour had a torrid day in 2015 and is on track for another bad one this time. The party’s defenders point out that these elections were dominated by rural seats, where Labour is weak anyway—a fact the party has no plans to change.
