FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda British voters punished Prime Minister David Cameron’s ruling Conservatives in local elections that exposed deep public anger two years into an austerity government.
It comes as the opposition Labour Party was on course to gain more than 700 seats in local councils and to form a majority on several of the local governing bodies.
Labour was winning about 39 percent of the vote in elections which attracted a low turnout of about 30 percent. Conservatives were taking 31 percent of the vote, while Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s Liberal Democrats were taking 16 percent.
Analysts say the Labor party can build up on the win and defeat the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in 2015 parliamentary polls.
“People are hurting, people are suffering from the recession, people are suffering from a government that has raised taxes for them and cut taxes for millionaires. I think that’s what we saw last night,” said Ed Miliband, leader of the opposition Labour Party.
With results of Thursday’s elections declared in 99 out of 181 councils being contested across the country, Labour had gained 470 councilors while the Conservatives had lost 279 and their coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats, had lost 129.
Having failed to win an outright majority in the last parliamentary polls in 2010, Cameron needs to do better next time for his party to have a chance of forming a government without back-up from the beleaguered Liberal Democrats.
The coalition government has stumbled from one blunder to another this year, with a deeply unpopular budget adding two years to Britain’s tough austerity drive and cuts in taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the elderly.
For the Liberal Democrats, whose support has collapsed since they went into government for the first time, the local election results in England were the worst in their history. The number of Lib Dem councilors dropped below 3,000 for the first time.
