In all the hysteria over the General Election, the Local Elections have been overshadowed.
Brexit is not a Local Election issue. Neither Corbyn nor May will run your local council. Vote for the candidate that you feel will deliver the best services for you area. It is not a referendum on the party leaders, you can do that in June. Forget national politics, vote for your best person for your ward.
I feel sorry for the many brilliant councillors who will be evicted for the sins of MPs. And despair of the many useless riding their coat tails.
Unfortunately it seems a lot of people don't get that. I thought these quotes were depressing but telling from the BBC live feed:
The chairman of the Labour group on Warwickshire County Council, who has lost his seat this morning, says people have told him that Jeremy Corbyn's style "has been putting them off voting Labour".
Phil Johnson, who is also standing as Labour's candidate in Nuneaton at the 8 June general election, says he believes the Labour group on the county council "will be significantly reduced".
He tells BBC Radio 4 that national issues "have swamped" the party's local campaign, adding: "I think while Jeremy Corbyn's policies are popular and can be quite well received by the public, his leadership style isn't.
"People have been saying to us that Jeremy Corbyn's style has been putting them off voting Labour.
"When the policies are explained they do receive a degree of support, but Jeremy Corbyn isn't coming across well with the public."
