By-elections so far in 2018


There have been 76 local authority by-elections so far this year. Here is a summary of the results:

-5

The obvious success story here are the Liberal Democrats, the biggest losers are the Conservatives. Labour has had an electorally neutral year thus far.

I am not sure what this will mean for the May 3rd elections, but I would caution about expecting too many gains from Labour.
