I’m just going to leave this here as I haven’t seen much about these local elections on tumblr.

The Tories lost over a thousand council seats. Good.

'Tory losses mount' gotta be one of the most satisfying headlines I get to read today, keep it up

I hope they're scared, they tried to rig everything they could in their favour and yet they're still floundering, and it's completely deserved

still waiting for my area's results to be announced but they were Labour last time and Tory the time before, hopefully we stay red

get fucked Conservatives

Reminder if you live in the UK and are eligible to vote to update your details on the Electoral Register if you need to! Local Elections for England and Northern Ireland are in May so don’t leave it too late as it can take up to 10 days to process.

And remember to take photo ID this time as it’ll be required to show accepted photo ID at the polling station. You can find a list of accepted photo IDs on the gov.uk website.

Turkey/Türkiye held local elections over the weekend and the secularist democratic opposition did surprisingly well. It spells bad news for authoritarians – both at home (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan) and potentially across the Black Sea (Vladimir Putin).

The Turkish party led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan suffered big losses in local elections held on Sunday. Ekrem Imamoğlu, the incumbent from main opposition party CHP, led the mayoral race in Istanbul by nearly 10 percentage points after more than half the votes had been counted, Reuters reported early on Monday. CHP also retained its mayoral seat in Ankara and gained another 15 seats in cities across the country. Erdoğan conceded defeat for the AK Party, the AFP reported. The opposition's win is a blow to Erdoğan, who has been in power as Turkey's prime minister or president since 2003. Since he is also a close partner of Russian President Vladimir Putin — even though Turkey is a NATO member — the defeat of Erdoğan's party could change the two countries' relationship. If Erdoğan's AK Party had won resoundingly, the victory would be used in Ankara to "justify a close relationship with Russia in the eyes of the Turkish public," Marc Pierieni and Francesco Siccardi, researchers at think tank Carnegie Europe, wrote last week. [ ... ] Erdoğan's administration has been talking to Moscow about setting up a gas hub in Turkey as Europe weans itself off natural-gas imports from Russia.

The Financial Times has more specific figures on the shift in fortunes for the two largest parties. Erdoğan's AK Party is often called the AKP.

Overall the CHP captured 38 per cent of the national vote, while support for the AKP fell to 35 per cent. In the 2019 local election the AKP notched up 44 per cent of the vote, with the CHP well behind at around 30 per cent, according to Anadolu data

As an aside, Turkey has a great sounding national anthem called İstiklal Marşı. It's the only anthem I'm aware of that has the word coy in its lyrics.

Voting accomplished ✌️ I was #36 at my polling location. By contrast, during statewide elections, I'm often in the 200s.

Turn out for your tiny local elections...the smaller the election, the more weight your vote has.
