There were local government elections in London on Thursday 22 May 2014. All councillor seats on the 32 London borough councils were up for election. The electorates of Hackney, Lewisham, Newham and Tower Hamlets also elected their executive mayors, who operate in place of council leaders in those boroughs. Ward changes took place in Hackney, Kensington and Chelsea, and Tower Hamlets, which reduced the total number of councillors by 10 to 1,851. Both the mayoral and councillor elections are four-yearly. The results saw the Labour Party increase their number of councillors from 875 in 2010 to 1,060 in 2014. The Conservative Party went from 717 councillors in 2010 to 612 in 2014. The Liberal Democrats went from 246 councillors in 2010 to 116 in 2014. Havering Residents Association and Tower Hamlets First were the fourth and fifth largest parties. Labour Party councillors gained control of four councils, losing Tower Hamlets to no overall control, Conservatives lost control of three councils but gained one from Liberal Democrats, who retained control of one council. The Labour majority of London councils was increased to 20 of 32. Following the elections, two of the thirty two London borough councils were in no overall control, a decrease of one. All four mayoral elections returned the incumbent mayors. Turnout fell as the elections of four years before were in a general election year whereas this round coincided with the 2014 European elections which have a lower turnout. ==Councils results== Councils that are Labour are in red, Conservative in blue, Liberal Democrat in yellow and two in no overall control party-politically are in black in the table and in grey on map to the right.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】publisher=London councils ) 〕 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「London local elections, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
