Scottish Parliament & Local Government elections on 3rd May

[T_i_B]

It's that time of year again when I feel the need to do a thread about the coming elections. This year we have elections to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and also some local government elections on 3rd May.

If you want to comment on the likely results of these elections for the SNP, Labour the Tories or anyone else please feel free to do so here. You can also comment on what's up for election round your neck of the woods and what your local parties are like here if you wish.

And on that note I should point out that a chap who used to post on DU many moons ago as UKNick is standing as a Lib Dem on my council! And knowing that ward, he really should win as well.

And I will have to have a rant about Colchester Borough council at some point on this thread. I must admit that one of my best friends (NOT Nick Barlow!) was also considering running for the council and if that had come to pass, I would have dipped my toe into the murky world of organized politics to lend a hand.
