A total of 8,886 councillors were elected: terms were up for 8,861 seats, but eight elections for a total of 14 seats were postponed due to the death of a candidate;[4][5] there were also casual vacancies to be filled: 38 in England (including on nine councils with no other elections) and one on Dundee City Council in Scotland.[6]

With the exception of areas whose electoral cycle has temporarily changed (due to a boundary review) or permanently changed, or that have been reorganised, the seats up for election in England were last contested in the 2015 local elections, on the same day as the general election of that year. The seats in Northern Ireland were last regularly contested in 2014.

The biggest winners were the Liberal Democrats, who gained 704 seats to make a total of 1,351 councillors. The biggest losers were the Conservative Party down 1,333 from their previous total to 3,561 seats. Labour also lost seats, down by 84 to 2,021 seats. The Green Party gained 194 seats for a total of 265 seats. UKIP lost 145 seats, having only 31 councillors elected.

Voters edit

All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on the day of the election were entitled to vote in the local elections.[7]

A person with two homes (such as a university student having a term-time address and living at home during holidays) could register to vote at both addresses as long as the addresses are not in the same electoral area, and can vote in the local elections for the two different local councils.[8]

Ten local authorities in England required voters to provide identification as part of trial schemes.[9][10]

Background edit

A majority of the councils up for election in this year were last elected in 2015, the same day as the general election.[11][12] The result of the 2018 local elections saw the collapse of the United Kingdom Independence Party's vote, largely to the benefit of the Conservatives.[13] The Liberal Democrats made gains in 2018; David Cutts, a professor of political science at the University of Birmingham, argued that the 2019 elections would be more a test of their relevance as the elections were in old strongholds of theirs.[14]

In the run-up to the elections, Facebook announced that they would only allow political adverts from authenticated accounts.[15] The government also funded a grant scheme for disabled candidates to participate, funding 60 candidates.[16]

Brexit dominated UK politics leading up to the local elections. In March, there was a demonstration in London, the Put it to the People March, in favour of a second referendum on EU membership, with an attendance reported to be between several hundred thousand and over one million.[17] In addition, an online petition calling for revocation of the UK's withdrawal notification under Article 50 TEU reached over 6 million signatures, becoming the fastest signed petition ever in the UK.[18] On 29 March thousands of pro-Brexit marchers demonstrated in Parliament Square in London.[19] Though the UK was set to leave the European Union on 29 March, this was initially delayed till 12 April,[20] then was further delayed to 31 October.[21] Because of this longer extension, the UK participated within elections to the European Parliament in order to avoid a no-deal scenario on 1 June.[21]

In April, protests in London around Parliament Square and Westminster organised by the environmental pressure group Extinction Rebellion took place, in which activist blocked roads, bridges and glued themselves to public buildings.[22] A total of 1,130 people were arrested during the demonstrations.[23]

Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats, announced on 14 March that he would be stepping down from that role, with a new leadership election to be held after the May local elections.[24] There has been pressure within the Conservative party on prime minister Theresa May to resign following the local elections, triggering a new leadership election.[25]

Campaigning edit

The Conservatives stood candidates in 96% of the available seats, Labour contested 77%, the Liberal Democrats 53%, the Green Party of England and Wales 30% and UKIP 16%.[26]

Seats contested by party, Politics Home

According to the Electoral Reform Society, there were 148 councillors who were elected unopposed, largely Conservatives.[27] New parties the Brexit Party and Change UK, although both standing in European elections later in the month, did not stand in the local elections.[28] Chuka Umunna, Change UK's spokesperson, recommended voters support anti-Brexit parties like the Liberal Democrats or Greens.[29] Leave.EU encouraged people to spoil their ballot paper in protest at delays in Brexit.[30]

Nationally, Labour organised their campaign on raising awareness of the impact of the austerity programme by the Conservative-led government on local councils, which led subsequently to higher council tax and reduced local services.[31] As an effect of cuts to council budgets, council spending per person has fallen 30% since 2010.[32] The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, commented that the economic policies of Preston City Council, where Labour took control of the council in 2011, were a model that he wanted other Labour councils to follow. Their changes saw the public procurement budget rise significantly, unemployment decrease and quality of life improve.[33] Labour sought to avoid talking about Brexit, but internal rows over their Brexit policy continued to create headlines.[34]

Similarly, the Conservatives focused their campaign away from Brexit and instead on efficient local services, low council tax and green credentials.[35][36][37] This detraction from Brexit, however, was quite difficult. Internal party sources voiced a negative outlook on the success of these elections,[38] with the deputy chair of the party saying it was an opportunity for voters to protest against the party's handling of the Brexit negotiations.[39] ConservativeHome interviewed ten Conservative councillors about how the campaigning had gone across the country and found a negative attitude.[12] Defence secretary Gavin Williamson was sacked the day before the elections, which was predicted to be unhelpful for the Conservative campaign.[40]

There were isolated incidents of politically motivated violence during the election campaign. There were a few cases of councillors, from the Labour and Conservative parties, being assaulted whilst campaigning.[41] A currently unknown assailant fired shots at the home of a Labour councillor in Sheffield.[42] Homes with Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green signs were damaged in Lewes,[43] and a Liberal Democrat candidate's car was attacked and painted with swastikas in Faversham.[44]

† Final results[45]

The Conservatives lost control of 44 councils and more than 1,300 council seats. It was the worst Conservative local election performance since 1995, when the party lost more than 2,000 seats.[46] Labour, despite topping national polls, lost 6 councils and more than 80 seats.[47]

Parties supporting remaining in the EU performed well.[48] The Liberal Democrats made the most gains of any party,[49][50] while the Greens also picked up seats with the largest percentage growth. This election was the largest rise in Green council seat gains in 20 years.[51] There was also a significant increase in the number of independent and local party councillors, with their number of seats more than doubling. Similarly, in Northern Ireland, Alliance (the Lib Dems' sister party), some smaller parties and independents also made significant gains.[52]

The elections were marked by a number of spoiled ballots expressing anger toward the Brexit stances of the Conservative and Labour parties.[53] In the voter ID trial areas an average of 102 voters in each pilot area failed to vote due to not having the required documentation, compared with 70 per pilot area in 2018.[51]

Analysis edit

Leading up to the election, journalists had noted the Conservatives' had performed well when these council seats had last been elected in the 2015 local elections due to those elections coinciding with the 2015 general election, where the party made gains.[12][11] Defending those gains was predicted to be difficult, and when combined with Theresa May's struggle to deliver on Brexit, various sources predicted a loss of between 500 and 1000 seats for the Conservatives.[54][55] Conservative peer Lord Robert Hayward projected that his party would lose at least 800 seats, with 500 to go to the Liberal Democrats and 300 to Labour.[56]

The BBC and other analysts calculated projected national vote shares from these local election results. These projections aim to assess what the council results indicate the UK-wide vote would be if the results were repeated at a general election. The BBC's estimate put Labour and the Conservatives on 28% (both down 7% from the local elections the previous year), the Liberal Democrats on 18% (up 2%) and all other parties combined on 25%.[1]

Sir John Curtice, who calculated the BBC's national projected vote share, commented that the rise of smaller parties and in particular the independents showed a dissatisfaction with the party system presently. Additionally, Curtice noted how the Green party benefited from recent climate protests across the country.[57]

Some argued that the Conservatives had set their expectations so low so that the perceived significance of their losses was reduced.[58] Media reports described the results as poor for both Labour and the Conservatives, with many noting decline of Labour representation in some leave areas. It was also regarded as a disappointing result for Labour because of expectations that they would make gains.[n 5]

Will Jennings, a professor at the University of Southampton analysed ward-level data and found little correlation between Labour's decline and the level of Brexit support in a ward. Labour made both gains and loses in areas that both voted to leave and remain in the 2016 referendum. Jennings instead noted the results better fit the transition in British politics at that time; where large cities, areas with high student populations, and professionals were moving towards Labour, whilst deindustrialised towns were moving towards the Conservatives.[59]

Simon Briscoe, statistician and director of The Data Analysis Bureau, was critical of the idea that the Liberal Democrats had experienced a surge on the scale that commentators described. He instead attributed their gains to a much lower turnout when compared to the 2015 local elections. An example of this is that any swings in vote share towards the Liberal Democrats masked the fact that the number of votes for them hadn't changed significantly from 2015.[60]

Martin Baxter, the creator of the political analytics website Electoral Calculus, suggested that the election data indicated that the next general election could produce a Labour-Scottish Nationalist coalition government.[61]

England edit

In England, council elections were held in 33 metropolitan boroughs, 168 of the second-tier districts, and 47 of the unitary authorities, as well as for six directly elected mayoral posts. 248 of the 343 English local councils held elections, with the exception of eight unitary authorities, the Isles of Scilly, the 26 counties, 24 non-metropolitan districts and boroughs, three metropolitan boroughs, the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. 8,399 seats were up for election (but elections are postponed for 14), with a further 38 casual vacancies to be filled, so 8,423 councillors were elected. Elections also took place for most English parish councils.

By-elections were held for seven county council seats (in Cambridgeshire, Cumbria, Gloucestershire, Kent (two seats), Surrey and West Sussex) and for two seats in the London Borough of Lewisham.[6] Other casual vacancies to be filled (variously by by-election or multiple vacancy election) are indicated in the tables below by a superscript addition (+n).

Metropolitan boroughs edit

In 33 of the 36 English metropolitan borough councils, one-third of their seats were up for election. Elections were not held in Birmingham, Doncaster or Rotherham.

Third of council edit

In 47 English district authorities, one-third of the council is up for election.

Seven other district councils normally elect by thirds. As noted above, due to boundary changes, six of these have all-up elections. Daventry originally had elections scheduled for 2019, but the elections were postponed following a decision to merge the seven districts of Northamptonshire into two unitary authorities covering the county from 2020.

Mayoral elections edit

Six direct mayoral elections were held. Five are for local authorities (the Mayoralty of Torbay is abolished this year):

Local Authority Incumbent Mayor Result

Leicester Peter Soulsby (Lab) Peter Soulsby (Lab)
Mansfield Kate Allsop (MIF) Andy Abrahams (Lab)

One election was held for a regional mayor: this newly established combined authority was set up by groups of local councils, much like similar devolution deals across the country, giving the combined authorities additional powers and funding.

Northern Ireland edit

Main article: 2019 Northern Ireland local elections

In Northern Ireland, local elections were last held in 2014. No party held a working majority on any council (proportional representation makes this less likely) before the 2019 election, although the Democratic Unionist Party came close on Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, with half of the seats.

The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland published lists and total numbers of candidates 14 April 2019 at the Wayback Machine, showing that a total of 819 persons were nominated to stand. Elections are by single transferable vote in 5- to 7-member district electoral areas.

elections for the two different local councils 8 Ten local authorities in England required voters to provide identification as part of trial schemes 9 10 Background editA majority of the councils up for election in this year were last elected in 2015 the same day as the general election 11 12 The result of the 2018 local elections saw the collapse of the United Kingdom Independence Party s vote largely to the benefit of the Conservatives 13 The Liberal Democrats made gains in 2018 David Cutts a professor of political science at the University of Birmingham argued that the 2019 elections would be more a test of their relevance as the elections were in old strongholds of theirs 14 In the run up to the elections Facebook announced that they would only allow political adverts from authenticated accounts 15 The government also funded a grant scheme for disabled candidates to participate funding 60 candidates 16 Brexit dominated UK politics leading up to the local elections In March there was a demonstration in London the Put it to the People March in favour of a second referendum on EU membership with an attendance reported to be between several hundred thousand and over one million 17 In addition an online petition calling for revocation of the UK s withdrawal notification under Article 50 TEU reached over 6 million signatures becoming the fastest signed petition ever in the UK 18 On 29 March thousands of pro Brexit marchers demonstrated in Parliament Square in London 19 Though the UK was set to leave the European Union on 29 March this was initially delayed till 12 April 20 then was further delayed to 31 October 21 Because of this longer extension the UK participated within elections to the European Parliament in order to avoid a no deal scenario on 1 June 21 In April protests in London around Parliament Square and Westminster organised by the environmental pressure group Extinction Rebellion took place in which activist blocked roads bridges and glued themselves to public buildings 22 A total of 1 130 people were arrested during the demonstrations 23 Vince Cable leader of the Liberal Democrats announced on 14 March that he would be stepping down from that role with a new leadership election to be held after the May local elections 24 There has been pressure within the Conservative party on prime minister Theresa May to resign following the local elections triggering a new leadership election 25 Campaigning edit The Conservatives stood candidates in 96 of the available seats Labour contested 77 the Liberal Democrats 53 the Green Party of England and Wales 30 and UKIP 16 26 8 530 8 886 96 6 842 8 886 77 4 710 8 886 53 2 666 8 886 30 1 422 8 886 16 Seats contested by party Politics Home According to the Electoral Reform Society there were 148 councillors who were elected unopposed largely Conservatives 27 New parties the Brexit Party and Change UK although both standing in European elections later in the month did not stand in the local elections 28 Chuka Umunna Change UK s spokesperson recommended voters support anti Brexit parties like the Liberal Democrats or Greens 29 Leave EU encouraged people to spoil their ballot paper in protest at delays in Brexit 30 Nationally Labour organised their campaign on raising awareness of the impact of the austerity programme by the Conservative led government on local councils which led subsequently to higher council tax and reduced local services 31 As an effect of cuts to council budgets council spending per person has fallen 30 since 2010 32 The shadow chancellor John McDonnell commented that the economic policies of Preston City Council where Labour took control of the council in 2011 were a model that he wanted other Labour councils to follow Their changes saw the public procurement budget rise significantly unemployment decrease and quality of life improve 33 Labour sought to avoid talking about Brexit but internal rows over their Brexit policy continued to create headlines 34 Similarly the Conservatives focused their campaign away from Brexit and instead on efficient local services low council tax and green credentials 35 36 37 This detraction from Brexit however was quite difficult Internal party sources voiced a negative outlook on the success of these elections 38 with the deputy chair of the party saying it was an opportunity for voters to protest against the party s handling of the Brexit negotiations 39 ConservativeHome interviewed ten Conservative councillors about how the campaigning had gone across the country and found a negative attitude 12 Defence secretary Gavin Williamson was sacked the day before the elections which was predicted to be unhelpful for the Conservative campaign 40 There were isolated incidents of politically motivated violence during the election campaign There were a few cases of councillors from the Labour and Conservative parties being assaulted whilst campaigning 41 A currently unknown assailant fired shots at the home of a Labour councillor in Sheffield 42 Homes with Labour Liberal Democrat and Green signs were damaged in Lewes 43 and a Liberal Democrat candidate s car was attacked and painted with swastikas in Faversham 44 Results editEngland edit Party Councillors Councils Votes citation needed Projected nationalequivalent n 1 Number Change Number Change Number Share Conservative 3 564

nbsp 37 Final results 45 The Conservatives lost control of 44 councils and more than 1 300 council seats It was the worst Conservative local election performance since 1995 when the party lost more than 2 000 seats 46 Labour despite topping national polls lost 6 councils and more than 80 seats 47 Parties supporting remaining in the EU performed well 48 The Liberal Democrats made the most gains of any party 49 50 while the Greens also picked up seats with the largest percentage growth This election was the largest rise in Green council seat gains in 20 years 51 There was also a significant increase in the number of independent and local party councillors with their number of seats more than doubling Similarly in Northern Ireland Alliance the Lib Dems sister party some smaller parties and independents also made significant gains 52 The elections were marked by a number of spoiled ballots expressing anger toward the Brexit stances of the Conservative and Labour parties 53 In the voter ID trial areas an average of 102 voters in each pilot area failed to vote due to not having the required documentation compared with 70 per pilot area in 2018 51 Analysis edit Leading up to the election journalists had noted the Conservatives had performed well when these council seats had last been elected in the 2015 local elections due to those elections coinciding with the 2015 general election where the party made gains 12 11 Defending those gains was predicted to be difficult and when combined with Theresa May s struggle to deliver on Brexit various sources predicted a loss of between 500 and 1000 seats for the Conservatives 54 55 Conservative peer Lord Robert Hayward projected that his party would lose at least 800 seats with 500 to go to the Liberal Democrats and 300 to Labour 56 The BBC and other analysts calculated projected national vote shares from these local election results These projections aim to assess what the council results indicate the UK wide vote would be if the results were repeated at a general election The BBC s estimate put Labour and the Conservatives on 28 both down 7 from the local elections the previous year the Liberal Democrats on 18 up 2 and all other parties combined on 25 1 Sir John Curtice who calculated the BBC s national projected vote share commented that the rise of smaller parties and in particular the independents showed a dissatisfaction with the party system presently Additionally Curtice noted how the Green party benefited from recent climate protests across the country 57 Some argued that the Conservatives had set their expectations so low so that the perceived significance of their losses was reduced 58 Media reports described the results as poor for both Labour and the Conservatives with many noting decline of Labour representation in some leave areas It was also regarded as a disappointing result for Labour because of expectations that they would make gains n 5 Will Jennings a professor at the University of Southampton analysed ward level data and found little correlation between Labour s decline and the level of Brexit support in a ward Labour made both gains and loses in areas that both voted to leave and remain in the 2016 referendum Jennings instead noted the results better fit the transition in British politics at that time where large cities areas with high student populations and professionals were moving towards Labour whilst deindustrialised towns were moving towards the Conservatives 59 Simon Briscoe statistician and director of The Data Analysis Bureau was critical of the idea that the Liberal Democrats had experienced a surge on the scale that commentators described He instead attributed their gains to a much lower turnout when compared to the 2015 local elections An example of this is that any swings in vote share towards the Liberal Democrats masked the fact that the number of votes for them hadn t changed significantly from 2015 60 Martin Baxter the creator of the political analytics website Electoral Calculus suggested that the election data indicated that the next general election could produce a Labour Scottish Nationalist coalition government 61 England editIn England council elections were held in 33 metropolitan boroughs 168 of the second tier districts and 47 of the unitary authorities as well as for six directly elected mayoral posts 248 of the 343 English local councils held elections with the exception of eight unitary authorities the Isles of Scilly the 26 counties 24 non metropolitan districts and boroughs three metropolitan boroughs the 32 London boroughs and the City of London 8 399 seats were up for election but elections are postponed for 14 with a further 38 casual vacancies to be filled so 8 423 councillors were
