🇬🇧 UK's main parties suffer local elections setback over Brexit | Al Jazeera English

Voting has ended in local elections in England and Northern Ireland and the winner seems to be frustration.
The ruling Conservatives are predicted to lose hundreds of council seats.
But across the country it seems many people simply refused to vote as a protest over the fiasco that Brexit has become.
Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from Yorkshire in northern England.

The PEOPLE have forgotten that WE are the LAW above ALL ELSE, we have elected people who have created a system that is enforces all the wrong things, therefore WE have the right to remove anyone causing the people harm.

Tories 1370 lost council seats. Labour 100 seats. Lets get the perspective right.
If this was a GE Labour would have won!
Also note: the parties that did very well are 'remain' parties - message there folks!

The word "Democracy" is banded about like it actually means something in the UK, if it meant something, we would have left already.

What is this guy talking about people taking part in a democratic process for? That is something that doesn't exist in the UK anymore

It is deeply regretful that the Tories secured any seats. Perhaps they were seats where the few good tories reside? It is also quite appalling that the PM May still cannot see past her blinkered darkened glasses and is blaming everyone else, declaring it's her dirty nasty poison chalice brexit that we all yearn for. Whilst being told by the assembled Welsh to resign. And Jeremy hasn't figured out he's barking up the wrong tree still.
Congrats to the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.

Don't forget the Peterborough By-Election 6th June, this could be where the first Brexit Candidate gets a House of Commons Seat.

those that watch brexit comedy get better information than from their populist unicorn politicians, who want to untangle an extremly complex interconnected economy
