The United Kingdom votes this Thursday, May 5, 2022 to renew part of its local authorities.
The Labor Party, in opposition, should record good scores according to the polls.
More complicated for the Conservative party in power, disturbed by the scandals in Westminster and already in the minority in local councils.
The “blue wall”, these conservative bastions in the south of England, could also fall.
