Croydon's Council Power-Split: Labor's Win Spells Change
A History-Making Candidate and Labor's Internal Strife
In a stunning turn of events, a candidate with an unprecedented losing streak has emerged victorious in the Labour parliamentary elections. This unexpected outcome has sent shockwaves through the party, causing uproar among members and raising questions about the decision-making process.
A Council Divided
The win could lead to London's first council power-split as Mr. Perry may have to collaborate with a Labour majority. The results of the full council have left the council divided, with Labour holding a majority since the 2014 election, winning 40 seats to the Conservatives' 30.
In a significant setback, Labour lost both the Croydon Mayoralty and control of the council, which they had held for the past seven years. The loss of seven council seats has further weakened Labour's grip on the council, potentially paving the way for a new era of coalition governance.
