Quoting;

A Labour spokesman said he was not surprised by the predictions but they mean nothing.

He said: "It is by absolutely no means a scientific thing. But it didn't throw up any surprises as everyone knows the battle lines drawn down the middle of the borough.

"This was just a bit of fun. The general election is likely to be in 2010 so you just don't know how it's going to turn out."

I thought Councillors were elected in Local Elections ? :-)

John, as I'm sure you know, the London local elections are due in May next year.
So I assume the spokesperson's comment had in mind the possibility that the General and local election dates may coincide.
