Isle of Wight Council election, 2009
The 2009 Isle of Wight Council elections were held on Thursday 4 June 2009.
After a review by the boundary commission, the number of seats on the council was reduced from 48 single-member constituencies, to a 40-member council, consisting of 38 single member constituencies, and one double-member constituency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Future electoral arrangements for the Isle of Wight )〕
==Overview==
The result of the election was 'no change', with the Conservatives retaining an overall majority by winning twenty-four of the forty seats available. Of the sixteen remaining seats, ten went to independents, five to the Liberal Democrats and just one to the Labour Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tories surge back in island polls )〕 Although the Conservatives managed to retain control, the Isle of Wight was still the only council in England in which they lost seats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Letters – Sickened voters stayed at home )〕 Among the factors which could have led to this relatively poor performance are the recent education reforms on the Isle of Wight, which led to protests over the closure of island primary schools. The "Standards not Tiers" independent candidate Chris Welsford beat the sitting Conservative councillor Jonny Fitzgerald-Bond by 141 votes in the Ventnor East ward. In the Cowes West and Gurnard ward, which was at the heart of education reforms, sitting Tory councillor Alan Wells was beaten by independent candidate Paul Fuller.〔 The large numbers of independent candidates standing at this election and the increased level of support for them could also be attributed to the ongoing United Kingdom Parliamentary expenses scandal, pushing voters away from the mainstream political parties represented in the House of Commons.
