Green gains in red-brick England Voter disaffection with Labour councils has given opportunity for Green growth in some of the most unexpected parts of England. Harry Gorman is a 20-year-old student at the University of Chester. Two years ago, the day after finishing an A-level exam, he was told by the local Green Party that he was going to be their council candidate for Prenton, Birkenhead, on the Wirral peninsula. On 6 May he’ll be standing for a seat that Labour won with 60 per cent of the vote the last time it was up for election in 2016. Gorman is not the first student to stand for election, but those who enter politics early usually don’t expect much success. Gorman, however, is optimistic. While his “youth and inexperience”, as Ronald Reagan once put it, might be seen as an Achilles heel, he believes that in an arena of ageing local politics his youth might actually prove a benefit.
Wallasey Town Hall, where Wirral Council meets in normal times WIRRAL Council could completely change next week as huge elections for the borough take place. On Thursday, May 6, polls will open in all 22 of Wirral s wards with everything to play for. In 2019, Labour lost its majority on the council, making the politics of the authority a lot more uncertain and giving opposition parties far more power. The Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and the Conservatives frequently mention the end of the Hoylake Golf Resort project and end of the
Wirral View newspaper as key achievements of their increased power. However, Labour is still by far the most powerful party in the council, with its leader Cllr Janette Williamson in charge of the authority since last September.
