Blair's Labour Party loses badly in local elections



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Sounds like the Brits have had enough of Blair and even his own party is stepping up demands that he move aside or else drag the party into ruin. The local elections yesterday were not very kind to Labour and the Conservatives bounced out numerous Labour candidates.

Tony Blair is to reshuffle his Cabinet today after Labour suffered a drubbing in local council elections - losing nearly 240 councillors across England as well as control of 18 town halls.

It was Labour's worst electoral bloodbath since the Prime Minister came to power. Meanwhile jubilant Conservatives were claiming that they were set to break through the 40-per-cent level in overall share of the vote and gain well over 200 seats.
