Hi all,

What percentage of the vote will be gained by the three main parties, plus
others, in this Thursday's local elections? Post your guesses in
Con/Lab/LD/Other order. All entries should be in by 22:00 BST on Thursday.
The nearest guess will win a £20 Amazon voucher.

Right, I'll be bold and go first with a nightmare prediction (for
Labour...):

Con: 33
LD: 30
Lab: 27
Oth: 10

However, I reserve the right to amend if any Ministers resign before polling
closes :)

-DW.

For my unitary authority my guess is as follows:
0/0/0/0 or 100/100/100/100 it depends on your perspective I suppose.
