Not such a good night for Gordon Brown and the Labour Party
LONDON (AFP) - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown admitted Friday that his party had suffered a “bad” blow in key local elections, as forecasts predicted the worst results for Labour since the 1960s.—————The Conservatives have 44 percent of the vote, the Liberal Democrats 25 percent and Labour 24 percent, according to BBC projections, which added that this result would be its worst in local polls since the late 1960s.
With results from 100 out of 159 local councils officially announced, the Conservatives had won 45 local councils, Labour 14 and the Liberal Democrats six. The remainder were not controlled by any single party.

Here is MYDD’s Jerome Johnson on Paddick;
And you just have to take a look at Brian Paddick, the LD’s candidate for Mayor in London. I got a chance to meet with him, advising him and his staff on using the internet for viral campaign strategy, and what a change he’d bring.
