Voters in the four states of the United Kingdom will go to the polls tomorrow (Thursday) to elect their local representatives.
The Labor Party hopes to strengthen thanks to the results of encouraging polls, the Conservatives want to secure victories despite the "privatigate" scandal of politicians holding parties during the Corona closures, and the cost of living.
The Liberal Democratic Party and the Green Party also want more influence.
According to the National World website, based on average polls, Labor is currently sweeping the strongest public support with 42% of the vote.
The Conservatives have improved their position after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but the "Pertigate" affair has worsened their situation in the polls, and now they have 34%.
The Liberal Democratic Party benefited from "Partigate" and obtained 11% of the vote.
In Scotland, 39% of adults prefer the Scottish National Party, followed by Labor with 17%, Conservatives with 10% - according to a Yugoslav poll.

In England, conservatives have the most councilors in the country.
Most English councils elect only one-third or one-half of the council members, meaning no significant change is expected.
The Labor Party is the largest party in the 72 councils that are up for election so they have the most to lose compared to the Conservatives.
They have a significant majority in the north of England and London.
In the south of England, in Southampton, Labor can win if it manages to steal two seats from the Conservatives.
In general, conservatives have a majority in the South.

In Wales, all seats are up for election, but Labor holds a majority in a third of the councils.
In Scotland, the Scottish National Party, SNP, is the largest.
Polls also show greater support for independence from Britain than five years ago.
In Northern Ireland for the first time ever, a Nationalist Party is expected to become the largest party in the General Assembly.
The Xin Payne Party has been the second largest party in Northern Ireland since 2003, but is confident it will win the most seats this time around from the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP.
The Unionist Party, for its part, is unable to close the gap with Shin Payne.
