not gonna cite numbers or make estimates, just gonna guess the results are a reminder of what would happen in a general election
Conservatives lose a bunch and it's up to people to determine if they lost more or less than expected

Tories are defending ~1000 seats of the 2600 seats up across England. Its gonna be bad night and that'll probably be the line from Tory spokespeople who decide not to go to bed early.
My guess is they will win about 500 - 550 seats in England. If they win more than 650, that will be improvement you speak of. I guess if they keep any of the 9 Regional Mayor (Tees Valley or West Midlands) elections that will be at least something positive to talk about.
If they win less than 500 and place behind Lib Dems in seats - that will be real bad / Blair era real bad.
Conservatives are losing about half their seats which would put them on target for the 500 - 550 range....although it is still very possible they could get below 500.
They won the Tees Valley Mayor which is at least something to hang their hat on.

how much will the Lib Dems, SNP, etc. pick up as a result.
I don't think any of these elections are in Scotland.
Yeah, I realized after the fact that it was England only. A good night for the Lib Dems though.

Looks like that might happen.
Seems they are just barely over 500, but yeh this is probably one of the worst local elections in Conservative Party history. Britons are ready for a change.
