• but the (biggest) Metropolitan area is being sidelined in the debate.

    But isn't the point that outside of London's Famous London (well, the Westminster-ers Village) the electorate is broadly ignored, so the local democracy has a chance of at least gaining media attention in all this crapulousness to make the point?

  • If the media message for these local elections, were that Tory voters are so exasperated by 10 years of Westminster enforced Austerity they will now even vote LibDem, I would agree with you.
    Instead the BBC are letting the two parties that clearly lost,
    claim they have a mandate that is opposed by all the metropolitan areas.
