Tories head for record low in London local elections

Conservative party support in London looks set to slump to a record low at the local elections on 3 May as the young, ethnically diverse electorate turns to Labour in increasing numbers.Projections from the Tory peer and psephologist Robert Hayward indicate the Conservatives will lose about 100 council seats.If they lose more than 93 – less than three seats in each of London’s boroughs – the Tories would fall below their previous low of 511 councillors in the capital.
