Blair's Labour Party Suffers Local Election Losses (Update3)
June 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labour Party suffered losses in local elections and may win less than a third of council seats nationwide, a defeat he blamed on opposition to Britain's role in the Iraq war.
After 2,120 out of 6,117 seats were declared, Labour had a net loss of 211 seats, the British Broadcasting Corp. said. This gave it a projected national election vote of 26 percent, putting the party in third place for the first time, according to BBC calculations.
