with about half the results now in, there are a lot of councils with no overall control but where if labour and the greens work together they do so I suspect the greens will have a lot of influence now. |

Having lived through the SNP-Green unholy alliance up here, you really don't want the Greens having influence. Reform should be happy enough - 15 MSPs through the list system. Looks like they've gained the most this time. |

The old Greens were an absolute disaster when in power down here. The new lefty, drug happy, open borders, tit enlarging Green Party is on a different level. |

Apparently so - this one crowdfunding for a work visa: https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/ ... r-37111735 I see Reform ended up joint second - 17 MSPs after the late results. |

Can't really see Swinney going back to a formal pact like the Bute House agreement - although needs must. He can try to ignore it, but SNP lost ground and those 17 Reform MSPs are in. |

Yes, it gives them a grievance card to play and less to do while their MSPs are inexperienced. Almost a win-win. |

The results were almost exactly as predicted, Labour lost control of 40 English councils including some who had always been Labour controlled Reform gained control of 14 Labour lost 1498 council seats Reform won 1458 Labour lost control of a country (Wales) ended up 3rd behind Reform If thats a poor result, im the next Pope Tomorows PMQs will be worth watching |
