The British Conservative Party lost almost 1,000 seats
The results of the May 4 elections to determine the 8,000 seats in 230 municipalities, mostly in the center and south of the country, are known.
Consequently, while the ruling Conservative Party previously held 3,253 seats in 230 municipalities, this number decreased by 957 to 2,296.
The main opposition Labor Party increased the number of seats by 643 to 2,675, while the Liberal Democratic Party added 415 more seats to 1,628 seats.
The Green Party won another 200 seats and reached 481 seats in the elections, while the other parties lost 385 seats and stayed at 1001 seats.
While the Conservative Party maintained its majority in 31 municipalities, it lost a majority in 50 municipalities. The Conservatives won a majority in only 2 new municipalities, which were previously non-majority municipalities.
Although the Workers’ Party maintained its power in 48 municipalities where it had a majority, it gained a majority in 23 new municipalities and lost in 1 municipality. The Labor Party received a majority in all 7 townships from the Conservative Party.
THE ELECTORAL ZONE OF THERESA MAY GOES TO THE PARTY OF THE WORKERS
In Windsor, the official residence of the royal family, the majority turned from the Conservative Party to the Liberal Democrat Party. Thus, in the constituency of former Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May, the majority went to the Labor Party.
In 37 municipalities where the conservatives had a majority before the elections, no party managed to dominate.
The Labor Party maintained its power in the major cities that voted in this election. He retained his majority in Southampton, Liverpool and Manchester, and took the most seats in Middlesborough, where no party has a majority.
The Conservative Party, which lost its majority to the Liberal Democrats in Stratford-on-Avon, the hometown of the famous English writer Shakespeare, and to the Labor Party in Swindon, one of the country’s major industrial cities, failed to win any municipality where these two parties had a majority.
THE CONVERTER PARTY HAS FAILED LAST YEAR
Local elections for 462 seats in 11 Northern Ireland boroughs will take place on May 18.
In the country, local elections were held last year for 4,350 seats in approximately 200 municipalities, with the Conservative Party (37%), the Labor Party (31%) and the Liberal Democrat Party receiving 14% of the total votes.
The Conservative Party, which has the largest number of local government seats, has held this position since 2003, but saw a 2 percent drop last year.
In England, elections are held at different times to replace one third, one half or all of the seats in local councils. That is why in the country where elections are not held on the same day for all boroughs, London Borough elections are held every 4 years and all councilors change along with the president. (AA)
