In the latest episode of the Better Places Podcast, Concilio's Sam Griffiths is joined by Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics, to discuss the upcoming local elections in London in May 2026. Tony is the leading academic expert on London's government and politics, and this fascinating discussion explores the forces changing London politically and how they are making the elections next year increasingly hard to predict. The topics Tony and Sam cover include: - How is the rise of so-called ‘Pro-Gaza independent' groups in parts of East London going to challenge Labour's traditional dominance in these areas, and what ideology drives these new campaigners? - How will the new Green party leader Zack Polanski, and his energetic brand of ‘eco-populism', impact the race and tempt younger votes away from Labour? - Are the Liberal Democrats poised to make gains, not just in their traditional strongholds in South-West London but also in the centre of the city?   - Can the Conservatives stage a fightback and take back control of their former ‘flagship' councils like Westminster and Wandsworth? - What will the Reform UK factor be? How will Farage's upstart party disrupt the contest and what councils could they win? - And finally, what does this upheaval mean for planning and development in the capital? This is an indispensable briefing on the current state of the race to control London's councils next year, and if you want to understand how planning and development could change in the capital as a result. Concilio will shortly be launching the first in a series of London local election reports – giving you data-led analysis of the key council races, the latest news on campaigns and candidates, and our analysis of what it could mean for the property sector.

Local elections just reshaped the landscape in Greenville, Greer, Easley, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville, and even at the state house level—and the ripple effects won't just be political. This episode breaks down what flipped, who got voted out, and how those decisions could impact growth, new development, impact fees, housing affordability, and ultimately what it costs to live and invest in the Upstate. From anti-growth backlash to a state house race decided by just 20 votes, Stan unpacks why these “small” elections matter way more to your daily life and real estate than most people realize.

Nick Haines, Kansas City PBS, On Local Elections and Political Stories of the Week | 11-7-25See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and Sarah Curry break down the results of Iowa's November local elections, where billions in local debt and dozens of bond measures were on the line. From record-breaking approval totals in Des Moines to a wave of rejections across rural Iowa, the results reveal a complex picture of how taxpayers view government spending at the local level.Sarah shares her statewide analysis of more than $1.7 billion in proposed bonds, noting that just over $1 billion was approved — driven heavily by the historic $260 million Des Moines Public Schools bond. Meanwhile, over half of all bond proposals across Iowa failed, reflecting a growing skepticism toward new debt and long-term property tax commitments.The discussion highlights some of the biggest stories: the Dallas County Courthouse proposal, a “repeat offender” that failed for the second time; the Cedar Rapids and Dubuque school bonds, both scaled-down but still unsuccessful; and smaller cities where just a few dozen voters decided multi-million-dollar questions. Chris and Sarah emphasize how low turnout — often under 20% — gives a handful of votes the power to raise property taxes for decades.The episode closes with a look ahead. The hosts urge Iowans to stay engaged after election night, monitoring how approved projects are implemented and holding local officials accountable for how bond dollars are spent. As Sarah puts it, “Debt equals spending,” and informed taxpayers must stay vigilant if they want lasting relief from rising property taxes.

Participation in local elections is at a historic low and there's growing calls for reform. Turnout's been higher in rural areas and much lower in the main cities, but data shows under 40 percent of eligible voters made their voices heard. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says a simpler solution is needed, much like the general elections. "It might be simpler if it was just - turn up and vote. Turn up to the booth, turn up to the place just as you do for the general Government elections." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turnout in the weekend's local elections has fallen even further this time around. By the end of Friday, less than 33-percent of Kiwis had cast their vote. Local Government New Zealand President Sam Broughton - who was unseated as Selwyn Mayor - says we should be aiming for much higher turnout. He says general elections get double the turnout and we should expect the same for local elections. Prime Minster Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking both candidates and voters alike are to blame. He says candidates have to be compelling and set out a clear vision, but the public also can't complain if they don't vote. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
