Early May saw an array of different elections across the UK, and although I initially had no intention to write about them the results were actually quite interesting. There's not a clear pattern across the UK of success or failure for any of the political parties, so a lot of fine detail to examine. This isn't to say that these elections haven't been good or bad news for any of the players involved, some parties clearly had better nights than others, but depending on what elections you focus on and how you judge success you can always find a silver lining to cheer you, or see a dark cloud hiding behind glittering political achievements. Hence the title: make what you will.
