Conservatives Gain Power in UK Election

So while European countries more and more are turning to conservative candidates, leaders here in America we seem to be running the other way.

England is holding elections this week and one of the most prominent races if for the Mayor of London, but they are also having national elections.

BBC research suggests Labour won 24% of votes cast in England and Wales, behind the Tories on 44% and Lib Dems on 25%.

So far Labour has lost 226 councillors and key councils like Reading. Tory gains include Bury and North Tyneside.

Mr Brown insists his party will learn lessons. David Cameron called it a "big moment" for the Conservative Party.

The Labour party is considered liberal and was the party of Tony Blair. Tories are the conservatives and Lib Dems speak for themselves.

I am sure the liberals in this country are noticing this change in Europe. The pundits are also predicting that Ken Livingstone will lose his seat as mayor to Boris Johnson, the conservative candidate. It should make for some entertaining times in England.
