Bloody Coronavirus, coming over here, wreaking a health emergency and postponing local council by-elections indefinitely. Still, we managed to sneak six contests out before the curtain fell, so it makes zero sense to read anything into these results. Because we got interrupted about midway through the monthly cycle and, well, we're going to be in Year Zero territory when politics as normal reconvenes. Until then gaze upon these results and soak them up. You won't see their like again for quite some time.
