Thu, 4 May 2006 16:00:00 EST The English local elections

Here, from the Times of London's ever perceptive Gerard Baker, is pretty much all you need to know about today's English local elections and the effect they might have on the tenure of Prime Minister Tony Blair. Labor had a terrible day a week ago Wednesday when scandals of different sorts, which Baker adroitly references, broke on three Labor ministers: Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, Home Secretary Charles Clarke, and Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt. As Baker notes, parties in power in Westminster tend to do poorly in local elections, just as parties holding the White House tend to do poorly in state and local elections in this country: Voters instinctively reach for some kind of balance. And so local elections are not just a proxy for approval or disapproval of the party in power.
