Reply #5: It will be interesting to watch the Tory vs. LibDem areas

[tjwmason]

It's the same sort of picture in Bucks where the Labour Party is almost non-existent and the LibDems have been seen by the general population as the 'left-wing' opposition...

Currently all four district councils have large Tory majorities. Only Wycombe District has any Labour councillors (two of them). Across the county there are currently 147 Tories against 41 LibDems, 2 Labour, and 8 Independents.

Personally I suspect that the usual Tory voters won't be greatly upset by the national picture, but that the LibDems will be highly demotivated by it - but I don't see much scope for Labour growth outside of a couple of the towns (High Wycombe in particular). This could well result in a few wards going from the LibDems to the Tories.
