Brexit Backlash Hits Main Parties in U.K. Local Elections

Early results in England’s local elections suggested voters were turning their backs on both the main parties amid frustration over Brexit. With 111 of 248 English councils having declared their results by 8:20 a.m. Friday, Labour had lost 79 seats overall, and the Conservatives had lost 441. Prime Minister Theresa May’s ruling Conservatives are paying the heaviest price at the polls for overseeing the political chaos of the U.K.’s divorce from the European Union.
