More than a thousand days until the election

If my hunch and calculations are correct there are 1,133 days to get through before the next General Election in Britain. Plenty of time for all the topics currently dominating our news to be forgotten. I hope this might give some comfort to disappointed Labour activists and the councillors who lost their seats last night.

In Cheltenham we lost the one seat we were defending and are now down to just one, in Stroud we lost two. Better news from Gloucester where we held the four we were defending. The LibDem leader in Gloucester will have to eat his words, he had declared that his party would gain seats from Labour. In fact there were no changes in Gloucester but the LibDems suffered losses in both Cheltenham and Stroud.

Onwards and upwards......
