The results from Thursday's local elections suggested voters blamed both the governing Conservative Party and the opposition Labour Party for the impasse. Left-of-center Labour Party, which had hoped to increase the number of members serving as local councilors, lost more than 70 positions. Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May said the elections as a whole carried a "simple message" for both the Conservative and Labour parties: "Just get on and deliver Brexit." In the May 23 elections for the EU parliament, Britain's biggest parties face additional opposition from new forces on the political scene — the anti-EU Brexit Party and the pro-European Change UK. Neither ran in Thursday's local elections.
