Monday is a Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom - and politicians have a further day to reflect on the significance of the local elections. In the United States two further primaries will be held on Tuesday. Last week the Leader of the House of Representatives, Steny Hoyer, made it clear that the House would face a busy timetable in May.
