In 2006 these roles were reversed, although two years later the council returned to being run by a minority Labour administration.〔(Election 2008: Oxford council ), BBC, 2008〕 before they took full control in 2010. Despite the stereotypical view of Oxford as a conservative city, there are no elected Conservatives on the city council. The Independent Working Class Association was represented for a decade between 2002 and 2012. Since 2002, elections have been held for Oxford City Council in even years, with each councillor serving a term of four years. Each electoral ward within Oxford is represented by two councillors, thus all wards elect one councillor at each election. Prior to 2002, the City Council was elected by thirds. In early 2003, the Oxford City Council submitted a bid to become a unitary authority.〔(Oxford City Council: the case for unitary status ), draft version, 18 January 2007.〕 This was received by Communities and Local Government〔(Communities and Local Government press release: Kelly welcomes proposals to improve local services: 26 local authorities bid to move to single tier local Government ), 26 January 2007.〕 but subsequently rejected.〔(Communities and Local Government: rejection letter to Oxford City Council’s unitary authority bid ).〕〔(Communities and Local Government press release: Woolas announces sixteen successful bids for unitary status to improve local services ), 27 March 2007.〕〔(Oxford City Council press release: Government backs off Oxfordshire reorganisation ), 27 March 2007.〕 Since 2008, Oxford City Council has been undergoing a programme of Business Transformation which has now been delivered in to the City Council.〔(Oxford City Council website: Business Transformation Strategy ), October 2008.〕 Oxford City Council contains all of the Oxford East parliamentary constituency, which was won by Labour in the 2010 General Election with an increased majority but was until then a highly marginal seat with the Liberal Democrats.〔(Bookies: Oxford East a two-horse race ), (Steve Goddard website ), January 2009〕 The Council also covers part of the Oxford West and Abingdon parliamentary constituency, which was won from the Liberal Democrats by the Conservatives at the 2010 General Election, albeit with a very small majority. 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「Oxford City Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
