Just been to vote - I’m in the very south of Notts, the ‘local’ Independant candidate lives in Derbyshire.
Don’t know when that changed as we had a decent independent who lives in the next village.
No independent candidates at all in our constituency, also there are more national parties than on the list on this poll….Struggled to pick someone who doesn’t want me to loose my job…Don’t know when that changed as we had a decent independent who lives in the next village.

kwit aren't all left wingers.The Tories have frozen or cut allowances, raised taxes and pissed a load of money up the wall.
Reform's manifesto was a whole Jupiter's worth of moons on sticks.

Reform got more votes than the Liberals. However Reform got 4 seats, whilst the Liberals got 70.
A big chunk of the Reform vote went towards Labour getting a massive majority on 35% of the votes!Cornwall has 6 constituencies. Last time, they were all Tory. Now 4 are Labour, 2 are Lib Dem.
In 3 of the constituencies, the combined Tory and Reform vote was way higher than the Labour vote. Those who voted Reform were effectively voting to get a Labour MP.
Probably the same cohort who voted for brexit, despite Cornwall benefitting massively from EU money, then whinging about it afterwards when the NHS didn't get the "£350 million a day".

Without wishing to turn this into yet another brexit grief therapy thread, you'll find that the 8+ years of whining has been from Remainers.
Doesn't seem to be the case down here in the far Southwest. No more EU-funded projects, and none of the promised brexit benefits. Most of the people I know who voted for it now regret it.Off-topic though.
Lib Dems got more seats because they targeted the constituencies where they came second last time. In mine (St. Ives), the Lib Dem vote was higher than the combined Tory and Reform vote. Andrew George would've won even if Reform didn't exist. People knew him because he was the MP back in the day, and had stuck around despite losing twice.
Reform got very few seats because in most areas they appealed to voters who previously voted Tory in constituencies with a sitting Tory MP.

Here in Devon, it seems the tories not only lost votes to Reform, but also to reduced turnout.Cornwall has 6 constituencies. Last time, they were all Tory. Now 4 are Labour, 2 are Lib Dem.

Labour got a similar umber of votes.
Greens picked up votes from somewhere.
Maybe comparing with 2019 is unhelpful, because I think the tories 'borrowed' a lot of votes then to 'get Brexit done'.
The whole concept of 'combined tory and reform vote' is false. The Cameron/May/Sunak flavour of tory party does not represent Reform voters.
It's less useful than adding the LDs to Labour or Labour to SNP.
