Voters are going to the polls for local elections in England, Wales and Scotland - and to elect mayors in London, Liverpool and Salford.
More than 4,700 seats are up for grabs on 128 English councils, most of which were last contested in 2008.

How badly do you think the liberals will get slaughtered?
Also how well will the nationalists do in Wales and Scotland?

I hope the Tory bottom wipers (Lib Dems) lose over 500+ councillors and all their councils that they hold.

As for nationalists not too sure about, but we will soon see what happens.

It will be very interesting to see the results of this after the shock Respect win in Bradford.

The SNP will take Glasgow, but probably not by a huge margin. I don't think they expect to win by a landslide. There is still, and will always be, a sizable number of Glaswegians who will vote Labour through what amounts to muscle memory and because their dad and grand dad voted Labour. Doesn't matter, The SNP taking Glasgow will be a huge, seismic shock.

I'm hearing unsavoury things about the behavior of Livingstone/Respect supporters in Tower Hamlets towards the green candidate there. Has anyone heard anything?

Also, who on Earth are the Britannica Party? Are they essentially a UKIP splinter or are they further right?
