Presumably the right-wing vote got split two ways. Labour will never get in so could be a safe Liberal Democrat seat for a while if there is no electoral pact between Reform UK and the Conservatives. |
Not sure it’s a simple as that - the Conservatives have been steadily losing Council Seat in Wokingham Borough Council for the last seven years (they always used to have 40+ seats).
Year Conservative—LD—Labour
2018 42——————8——-3
2019 31—————-16——-4
2021 31—————-18——-3
2022 26—————-23——-3
2023 22—————-26——-5
New ward boundaries (54 seats)
2024 19————-—27——-8
Could be a number of factors, including changing demographics…
