'The pandemic was in people's minds when they voted'published at 16:54 British Summer Time 7 May 2021
Paul Barltrop
Political Editor, West of England
Going to the polls during a pandemic was always going to be a challenge.
But it may be what this election did to local democracy rather than to the nation’s health that it is remembered for.
In three decades of covering elections, I have never seen it so subdued. Uncertainty over whether they would happen did not help.
Then there was an initial bar on parties going leafleting, which sparked complaints, including from Lib Dems in Gloucestershire and Greens in Bristol.
But, the biggest problem was generating interest in local issues.
Normal political point-scoring just did not seem right in the midst of the Covid crisis. And without face-to-face hustings, much of the heat went out of the election.
Instead, it is the global health pandemic, and the success of the national vaccine programme, that was dominant in the news, and in people’s minds, as they voted in these local elections.
