As intimated in my earlier post, it has now been confirmed that the Lib Dems have taken control of Kingston from the Tories – we won 39 seats to their 9!

Liberal Democrats take Kingston upon Thames from Conservatives.

As we reported earlier, we have also taken control of Three Rivers, South Cambridgeshire and Richmond.
(This has been repeated due to an earlier tweeting snafu while walking the dog!)

Excellent result, congratulations to each and everyone involved, throughout the country we need to see ourselves as a mainstream party of the radical centre and moderate centre left, this country needs it and us !!!
Our score is now better than any other party according to the BBC
Councils overall: LD +4, Labour -1, Cons +2
Councillors: LD +75, Lab +55, Cons -26
Not a bad day all told.
Zu viel Mehrheitspeck?
As far as I can see Mehrheitspeck literally means majority bacon, so I am not sure what John is getting at
Bringing home the bacon?
Literally translated it means too much majority bacon
