Given that most councils elections are only for a third of their members that really shouldn’t be a surprise.

Farage is a happy man, and for good reasons.

with about half the results now in, there are a lot of councils with no overall control but where if labour and the greens work together they do so I suspect the greens will have a lot of influence now.

Having lived through the SNP-Green unholy alliance up here, you really don't want the Greens having influence.

Reform should be happy enough - 15 MSPs through the list system. Looks like they've gained the most this time.

The old Greens were an absolute disaster when in power down here.

The new lefty, drug happy, open borders, tit enlarging Green Party is on a different level.

Apparently so - this one crowdfunding for a work visa:

I see Reform ended up joint second - 17 MSPs after the late results.
