Super Thursday: State of Play at 0300 UK

Well, it may be Friday morning here in the UK now, but the results from Super Thursday continue to confuse and confound.

For the Conservatives, they have made improvements in the English council elections, gaining over 100 councillors and 5 councils, However, indications so far from Scotland and Wales show little or no sign of any improvement in their electoral fortunes.

Labour will be relieved to have not recieved a complete drubbing, managing an improvement on their disatrous results last year. It looks like they may hold onto government in Wales, but it will be nip and tuck in Scotland between them and SNP.

Liberal Democrats, have just about held their own, not improved, but they have made some gains, especially in the English council elections in terms of councils gained.

It really is a case of pick the bones out of it all, and it's not all over yet.
