With the Conservatives losing more than 1,000 councillors in the May 2023 local elections, it was a good year for progressive councillors. But we know that, especially when there were 8,000+ seats up for election with 25,000+ candidates, It’s Bloody Complicated.
Listen to our Local Elections Wash-Up Episode to dig into the results from the Local Elections in 2023, and what’s going on beneath the surface.
We’re were joined by journalist and former president of the YouGov, Peter Kellner, as well as Caroline Jackson, the Leader of Lancaster City Council for the last two years, leading a Shared Administration containing 5 political groups and 44 councillors, and Elizabeth Dennis-Harburg who leads the Labour-Lib Dem partnership council in North Hertfordshire.
