It's always sad when good local councillors lose their seat because of national politics. We lost a few good councillors on ours this time around. Most of the gains were for the labour party, so I should be pleased, but I know a couple of the libs and cons who lost that are really decent. One in particular is a tory, but a really decent bloke with an incredible work ethic and genuine caring for his local community. The woman who beat him is from my party, but she's a fucking witch, who couldn't give a flying fuck for the people who've elected her.
