Liberal Democrats Our incredible local election results in full








We’re making this Conservative Government history, John - our incredible local
election results in full.



With all the results now in from last week’s local council, mayoral and PCC
elections from across England and Wales, it’s official - we’ve pulled off
another historic result.

For the first time since 1996, the Liberal Democrats elected more councillors
than the Conservatives, electing522 councillors and winning control of 12
councils.

With net gains of over 100 councillors and 2 new councils, we have matched our
previous best ever record and secured a sensational 6-year streak of making
gains in local elections.

These results are a damning verdict on this Conservative Government and their
years of chaos. A General Election cannot come soon enough.

But more importantly, they are a clear signal that more and more people are
turning to the Liberal Democrats.

Now’s the time to build on our incredible momentum to ensure we elect even
more hardworking Liberal Democrats in Westminster.



If we’re to remove the Conservatives from office and elect Lib Dem MPs across
the country, we need your support. Now’s the time to take action.
