The Barnsley Independent Group also lost 1 seat to the Conservatives. Overall turnout was 34.78%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Local election results 2008 )〕 The losses for the Labour party were blamed on government policies, such as on immigration and the abolition of the 10p income tax band, by the leader of the council, Steve Houghton, who was himself re-elected for Cudworth ward. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council election, 2008」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
