LONDON (AP) — Britain's governing Conservative Party said Saturday that it is ready to compromise to secure a Brexit deal after suffering its worst result in local elections for more than 20 years.
In contests for local authorities across England, the party lost about 1,300 seats, a quarter of its total, as voters punished the government for the U.K's Brexit impasse. The opposition Labour Party also suffered losses as voters switched to smaller parties and independent candidates.

They lost a ton of seats, 1,300. Is this because the national parties did not enact Brexit? Labour also had losses.
