Rehman Chishti won the biggest majority in Medway as the Conservatives held the Council with an increased majority

SOME saw the local elections on “Super Thursday” as the biggest test of public opinion since the General Election two years ago. The mainstream media has been spinning the results for a couple of days now, so I can finally analyse the situation.

As shown in the diagram, Reh achieved far greater support (2204 to 503 votes) and, overall, Reh achieved the highest majority in Medway: 1123 votes ahead of Liberal Bob Collinson.
