Tables ...... 123 aaaa Introduction

On May 4 there were elections for the new Greater London Authority as well as for more than three thousand seats in 152 local authorities across England. Almost 10,000 candidates contested the elections. In 131 local authorities only a third of all council seats were up for election, making it less likely that changes of political control could occur in these areas. A total of 21 authorities held whole council elections as new ward boundaries took effect. The pattern of the electoral cycle was quite complex. Most seats up for election had last been contested in 1996 but others had been last fought more recently. The existence of different base years and the existence of new wards in some cases, makes direct comparisons between this election and the last quite difficult.

Greater London Authority – the electoral system

The London Mayor is elected in a cross-London ballot using the Supplementary Vote system of election. Electors are asked to cast a first and a second vote from the list of candidates. A candidate is elected if s/he receives more than half the total number of first votes. If none of the candidates obtains an absolute majority of first votes cast, as was the case, the two candidates with the greater number of first votes remain in the contest while all the other candidates are eliminated. The second votes, indicated on the ballot papers of those eliminated candidates, now come into the reckoning. Where such a second preference is for one of the two candidates remaining in the contest, (in this case Ken Livingstone and Steve Norris) it is added to that candidate’s first vote. The candidate with the greatest total number of votes -that is, first votes plus any transferred second votes from eliminated candidates- is deemed elected.

In a break with the traditional ‘first past the post’ method, the London Assembly, comprising a total of 25 members, was elected using a form of Proportional Repre- sentation known as the Additional Member System (AMS). Under this system voters are given two votes, one cast in a single-member constituency, the other for a cross- London party list. For this election there were 14 single member constituencies (cre- ated by merging various London boroughs) elected by ‘first past the post’ and 11 seats determined by list vote. Voters could, and did, choose candidates from different par- ties in the contests for constituency and list.

Allocation of the 11 list seats was determined as follows. The total London-wide number of list votes cast for each party in all the constituencies were aggregated. Allocation of additional member seats takes account of the number of constituency seats won by each party. The initial stage involves dividing each party’s list vote by the number of constituency seats won plus one. Naturally, if a party fails to win a single constituency its list vote is divided only by one. A party winning, say three constituency seats, would see its list vote divided by 3+1. Following this division the party with the highest number of votes is awarded the first of the 11 list seats. That party’s list vote is now divided again to take account of the additional seat it has just

v won. This process of division and seat allocation continues until all 11 seats are determined. Parties nominated candidates for the list in the order in which they wished them to be elected and voters were prevented from expressing a preference for can- didates from within a list. ‘Independent’ candidates were entitled to stand either in a constituency or for election as an additional member or both.

Voters in London, therefore, received four opportunities to cast a ballot: two votes for mayor, one vote for a constituency Assembly member and a fourth vote that could be cast for the London-wide list. It was clear from the final figures that many voters did not take up their full quota of votes.

Mayoral election result

Ken Livingstone won the contest for London mayor with some ease, although by failing to win an absolute majority of first votes the contest went through to the second round. Livingstone finished ahead in all but two of the 14 constituencies. Livingstone and the Conservative party candidate, Steve Norris, went head to head in the second round. While the other nine mayoral candidates were eliminated from the contest, their second votes were allocated to either Livingstone or Norris. A total of 108,550 votes were transferred to Livingstone while the figure for transfers to Norris was 99,703 votes. Following this redistribution Livingstone had 58% of the vote and a majority over Norris of more than 200,000 votes. As Table 1 shows, Frank Dobson finished in third place, a mere 20,000 votes ahead of the Liberal Democrat candidate, Susan Kramer. Ram Gidoomal, a refugee from Kenya and millionaire businessman, finished in fifth place, ahead of the Green party. In fact, independent and other minor party candidates together polled 48% of the mayoral vote: expressed differently the vote for the candidates from the three main parties amounted to just half of the total vote. A clearer rejection of the established party order could hardly have been stated.

vi The London Assembly election results

Throughout, the battle for London mayor overshadowed elections for the new As- sembly. For example, pollsters found that a significant proportion of respondents were unaware of the Assembly election. There was, of course, the further complica- tion of a new voting system, strange to English voters accustomed to first past the post elections. Given the electoral system, however, it was unlikely that any single party would win seats sufficient for an overall majority. Interest lay in the eventual distribu- tion of seats among the different parties and the implications this would have, espe- cially in terms of coalition politics.

The election did indeed result in a hung assembly. Table 2 shows that four parties won seats, with the two largest parties, Conservative and Labour, each quite short of an overall majority. The Conservatives captured the largest share of the constituency vote, a fact reflected in the party’s return of 8 constituency members. Labour, trailed behind the Conservatives winning the remaining 6 seats. It should be noted that this was the first local election in London in 18 years that the Conservatives led Labour in the popular vote.

Although the Conservative party won the largest number of constituency seats it did so largely because of Labour’s poor performance rather than because of any great advance of its own. Compared with the 1997 general election the Conservative vote rose, but only from 31.2% to 33.2%. Compared with the 1998 London borough elec- tions its vote was higher by just one percentage point. If Conservative progress was minimal Labour’s decline was spectacular. The party’s share of the constituency poll was just 31.6% – a fall of 18 percentage points compared with the last general elec- tion. In Enfield and Haringey Labour’s vote fell from 57% to 32% compared with 1997, although the party clung on to win the constituency. Across London the pattern was one of Labour decline, little movement for Conservative and Liberal Democrat, and a large shift in support towards the Greens and other groupings.

The other aspect of the Assembly election is the party-list vote. There were 14 lists in total on the ballot paper. These ranged from parties that fight general and other types

vii of election to those, such as the London Socialist Alliance and the Christian Peoples Alliance, which had been formed specifically to contest these particular elections. Two groups, the ‘Campaign Against Tube Privatisation’ and ‘Pro-Motorist and Small Shop’, fought specifically on the issue of transport policy. For this election the Liberal Democrats appended the description, ‘Against Tube Sell-Off’, to their official title on the ballot paper. Peter Tatchell, a gay rights activist and former Labour parliamentary by-election candidate, was the only independent to stand on the list ballot.

A quarter of votes cast for additional members went to party lists outside of the political mainstream. List voting gave voters sympathetic to parties such as the Greens an opportunity to vote sincerely rather than having to vote tactically under the condi- tions created under ‘first past the post’. Comparison with the constituency vote shows that support for all three main parties declined, in the case of Conservative and Liberal Democrat, by four percentage points each. The Green party was the most successful of the minor parties, winning 11% of the list vote. Its best result was in the North East constituency, 16%, and it also performed well in Lambeth and Southwark. The British National Party (BNP) also made an impression in certain areas of London, most notably in City and East where it obtained 7% of the vote. However, it fell well short of 5% of the overall list vote and was ineligible for any additional seats – a fate that befell all the minor parties with the exception of the Greens.

Table 3 shows the order in which additional seats were allocated. The most success- ful list party, the Liberal Democrats, gained four of the 11 seats, followed by the Greens and Labour with three each. The final additional member seat was captured by the Conservative party, which because of its success in winning eight of the 14 constituency seats, was unlikely to do well in the list allocation. Overall, both Labour and Conservative won 9 seats each of the 25 on offer. Their share of the seats (36%) was, in both cases, a little higher than their share of the constituency vote. The Liberal Democrats saw a constituency vote share of 18.9% translate into a 16% share of seats while the Green party, which normally is penalised by the voting sys- tem, polled 10.2% of the constituency vote, 11.1% of the list vote and captured 12% of the Assembly seats.

Table 4 provides an overview of the results as well as summarising the outcome for the different types of local authority with elections. As well as recording the votes and percentage share for the main parties it also makes a distinction between the number of wards contested/won and the number of seats contested/won by each party.

Putting precise figures on the level of gains and losses is difficult because of boundary changes. We estimate that the Conservative party made approximately 600 net seat gains, Labour lost 580 seats while the Liberal Democrats lost 50 seats net. As Table 5 shows the South of England saw the Conservatives prosper, taking seats from both Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The Tories lost many of these seats in 1996 when the party was nationally unpopular. While Labour incurred losses in all regions the pattern was different for the Liberal Democrats. In the Midlands the picture was neutral for the third party but in the South and North it was a different story. In the North, Labour lost ground to each of its competitors and effectively allowed the Lib- eral Democrats to limit its overall losses.

Comparisons with previous years’ elections are difficult because of the changing pat- tern of authorities and wards holding elections but some attempt can be made with regard to the metropolitan boroughs. Here, the Conservative vote rose by almost ten percentage points compared with four years before. The metropolitan boroughs, for some time regarded as no-go areas for the Conservatives have now swung gently back towards the party. The Liberal Democrats too made progress, with vote share rising from 20% in 1996 to 24% this time. Many of these boroughs remain secure for Labour but no party can afford to see its councillor base eroded year on year – a fate that befell the Conservatives for much of the 1990s. In 1996 Labour won 615 of the 827 wards but by contrast it won only 437 of 826 wards in 2000. Conservative repre- sentation in these particular authorities doubled while even the Liberal Democrats were able to increase councillor numbers by almost half.

The electorate’s rejection of, or indifference towards, Labour was pronounced in some authorities. Across South Yorkshire, for example, Labour’s vote fell in Barnsley (down 23%), Doncaster (down 22%) and most of all in Rotherham (down 31%). In neighbouring Sheffield the Liberal Democrats consolidated the party’s hold on the city council, gaining a further four seats from Labour. West Yorkshire too proved trouble- some for Labour. It lost 12 seats in each of Bradford, Leeds and Calderdale as well as a further 13 seats in Kirklees and Wakefield. These losses were sufficient for Labour to lose its majority in Bradford and allow the Conservatives to seize power in Calderdale, an authority it last controlled as long ago as 1979.

Secure Labour defences were not much in evidence across the Midlands, particularly in those authorities where local economies appeared under threat from the uncer- tainty surrounding the future of motor manufacturing. In Birmingham Labour’s ma- jority was cut sharply with the loss of 11 seats and there were other losses too in Coventry (lost 9 seats), Dudley (lost 11) and Wolverhampton (lost 7). Labour’s loss proved the Conservatives’ gain. Voter support increased significantly in Solihull (up 22% compared with 1996), Walsall (+20%), Coventry (+17%) and Dudley (+18%). The Conservatives improved sufficiently well to re-take control of Solihull and to unseat Labour in Walsall. Further afield Labour lost ground in Cannock Chase (La- bour vote down 29%), Redditch, Tamworth (Labour vote halved to 35%) and Worces- ter, as the fragile state of the regional economy clearly gave former Labour voters the excuse for widespread protest voting. In Stoke on Trent Labour were hit by a triple whammy, losing ground to its two main rivals as well as to Independents who success- fully tapped into local discontents.

xi Across southern England Labour suffered some notable defeats. One of the most spectacular came in Plymouth where Labour lost no fewer than 26 seats to the Con- servatives. In mitigation, perhaps, it might be argued that these seats were last fought on general election day 1997 when turnout was considerably higher and Labour sup- porters more easily persuaded to vote. Nevertheless, the scale of Labour’s defeat sent shockwaves throughout the party. Labour also lost political control in Oxford (where the Green party again performed well, capturing 19% of the vote, by some margin its best result), Portsmouth, Southampton, Swindon and Watford. The Con- servatives recovered sufficiently well to resume political control in authorities such as Torbay and Stratford on Avon there were areas where its advance was less than expected.

However, the Conservatives were unable to take full advantage everywhere of La- bour discomfort. In some areas this was possibly because demographic factors are not running in the Conservatives’ favour. Such cases include Reading and Stevenage, which once returned Conservative MPs but where Labour’s position now appears less threatened. Elsewhere, the Conservatives are effectively competing with the Liberal Democrats for Labour protest voters. There were a number of local authori- ties that closely resembled the pattern of party competition in Harlow where Labour lost seats in equal measure to the two main opposition parties. Ironically, if that pat- tern were transferred to a general election then some Labour MPs that will retain their seats may be grateful for a divided opposition vote.

The Liberal Democrats suffered a drop in support in authorities like Cheltenham, Colchester, Gosport and Havant. That said, the party performed the rare feat of one opposition party capturing a parliamentary by-election seat from another opposition party. Romsey had been the Conservatives’ 51st safest seat but the 8,585 majority proved too small to defend from the Liberal Democrat’s highly successful by-election campaign team. The tactical squeeze on a sizeable Labour vote proved the un-doing of the Conservatives. This is only the second occasion since the Second World War that the Conservatives in opposition have lost a parliamentary by-election. The loss took some of the shine off the party’s local election performance.

There was little prospect of widespread changes in council control given that only a fraction of each council’s membership were seeking re-election in most authorities. The Conservatives advanced, gaining a further 16 local authorities, largely in areas that formerly had been under no overall control. Labour suffered the same number of losses and although the Liberal Democrats gained political control in some authorities the party fell back elsewhere, finishing with a net loss of one council.

Concerned with the continuing decline in electoral turnout, the government approved 38 pilot schemes in some 32 local authorities, designed to assess the impact of changes to electoral procedures. In three authorities, Bury, Salford and Stratford-on-Avon, voters were able to vote electronically instead of marking a ballot paper by hand. A large number of authorities tested the impact on turnout of early voting, whereby electors were allowed to vote at designated polling stations in advance of May 4. Other schemes included weekend voting (Watford), extended voting hours (Leeds, Mole Valley), and greater use of mobile polling stations. Perhaps the most significant xiii experiments related to postal voting. In a number of authorities the normal rules regarding an elector’s entitlement to a postal vote were relaxed. A total of seven authorities (Bolton, Doncaster, Gateshead, Norwich, Stevenage, Swindon and Wigan) were allowed to go a step further, however, when the election in some wards was conducted entirely by postal ballot. The early indications suggest that all-postal ballots may have a positive impact on electoral turnout.

Despite such measures, voter apathy was evident once again, with the lowest turnout of 26% recorded in the metropolitan boroughs rising to a high of just 32.3% for the shire districts (see Table 7). Overall, turnout was 29.6% and even in London, where publicity for the Mayoral and Assembly elections was far higher than that for a normal round of local elections, only slightly more than a third of electors turned out to vote. Turnout rose above 40% of eligible electors in just 4 of the 152 local authorities with an election. In five local authorities, including Liverpool and Knowsley on Mersey- side, fewer than one in five electors voted. There is even more disturbing evidence of voter indifference from individual wards with turnout falling to one in ten electors in some cases. On a more optimistic note for the health of local democracy the number of uncontested seats was extremely low. This partly reflected the opposition parties’ view that Labour was vulnerable to attack even its heartland seats.

Table 7: Turnout, contestation, women and incumbency

Mets Unitary Shire Dist All Bors. Cncls. Cncls. Auths. Average turnout 26.0 28.5 32.2 29.6 Uncontested seats 6 12 9 27 % uncontested seats 0.7 1.4 0.6 0.8 Three party contests 664 373 910 1947 % wards with 3 party contests 80.4 66.4 67.0 70.9 Total candidates 2,916 2,400 4,571 9,887 Women candidates 899 740 1355 2,994 Women as % of all candidates 30.8 30.8 29.6 30.3 Women elected 240 257 418 915 Women as % of all elected 27.1 29.1 26.0 27.1 Incumbents re-elected 527 522 905 1,954 % incumbents re-elected 80.0 75.3 77.3 77.4

That can be seen is the number of wards where voters could choose from among candidates representing the main parties. Party competition was fiercest in the met- ropolitan boroughs where eight out of ten contests featured candidates from the three main parties. Even in the less party political shire districts more than two-thirds of contests saw the three main parties competing for office.

There were a total of 9,887 candidates challenging for 3,374 seats – almost 3 candi- dates per vacancy. Competition was greatest in the metropolitan boroughs (3.3 can- didates per vacancy). Female candidates accounted for 30.3% of the total while 27.1% of those elected to serve as councillors were women. These figures are con- sistent with previous years’ both in terms of the gap between female candidates and

xiv councillors and for the number of women councillors overall. There was very little to choose between the main parties in terms of the ratio between male/female council- lors. While 30% of elected Liberal Democrat councillors were women the figure for Labour and Conservative was 26% and 27% respectively. However, a more detailed analysis of the gender balance amongst the parties whilst controlling for the type of local authority reveals some variation. In the Labour dominated metropolitan bor- oughs women councillors number only a quarter of Labour’s total councillor represen- tation. Likewise, in the shire districts, where the Conservative party is strongest, women councillors comprise only 24% of the party’s councillors. It appears that in their strongest areas both Conservative and Labour might do more to encourage women to stand in their safest seats – always assuming, of course, that male incumbents create the necessary vacancies.

Incumbent councillors were successful in 1,954 seats (58% of the total). Those in- cumbents that did decide to stand again were, on the whole, re-elected. In the unitary council areas, for example, three-quarters of incumbents seeking re-election were successful. In the metropolitan boroughs no fewer than 80% of incumbents seeking a fresh mandate were returned for a further four year term.

xv Using the Handbook

In 2000 there were elections for the newly created Greater London Authority (GLA), together with elections for a total of 152 local authorities throughout England. There were no local elections in either Scotland or Wales. The GLA elections consisted of contests for the London Mayor and a 25-member Assembly. Additionally, contests were held in all of the 36 metropolitan boroughs, 27 of the unitary councils, and 89 shire district councils. Data relating to the London mayoral election can be found in the introduction. The Handbook is organised into sections, which cover the results for the London Assembly members and each of the three types of local authority. Elec- tion results have generally been taken from figures provided by, and checked with, Electoral Administrators.

Before the ward by ward results we have provided a section containing aggregate data covering each local authority (excluding the GLA). Ward results for each au- thority were aggregated to produce this set of summary statistics. These include the percentage vote share for a range of parties and independent candidates. Where wards elect more than one councillor then the vote of the best placed candidate for each party is used in calculating total vote. In the cases of Independent candidates these were grouped according to the number of seats in a ward. In the case of a three-member ward with six Independent candidates, therefore, the votes of the first and fourth placed Independent would contribute towards the total vote figure. The number of seats contested and the number of seats won by each party is also noted.

Turnout, in brackets after the name of the authority, is the average turnout in those wards which had a contested election. Table 6 at the rear of the book contains details of local authority turnout that has been calculated using a different method. Instead of taking the average value in contested seats we have summed the votes and elector- ates in contested wards and then expressed one as a percentage of the other. These two methods for calculating local authority level turnout will produce slightly different figures for those authorities that have a large range for ward level electorates.

In those authorities where a direct comparison with the 1996 elections has been pos- sible we have also provided the percentage change for the different parties. In a large number of cases this has not proved practical. Many of the unitary councils have a different base year and we felt that comparisons might prove misleading. Further- more, a large number of authorities have seen boundary changes recently implemented and direct comparison with 1996 was not possible. In those cases where comparisons have been made between a party’s vote in 2000 and 1996 we have not controlled for varying patterns of party competition. Interested readers should consult the relevant year’s Handbook for such information.

xvi The final two lines of the summary of aggregate statistics provide information relating to the number of candidates fielded by each party as well as the number of candidates that were successfully elected. Note, that since many of these authorities are electing only a fraction of the council body that the ‘seats won’ category is not the equivalent of the full council composition.

In the main body of the book the results for each ward are listed in alphabetical order within each local authority. The figure in brackets is the electorate for 2000. The practice adopted by local authorities for calculating this figure varies - in some cases it includes all names on the electoral register as originally published, in others it is a more accurate record of only those entitled to vote on election day in May. It has been impossible to adopt a standard definition of electorate or reliably to identify the particular procedures used by each authority. The appearance of a date in [square brackets] on this line indicates that the election was not held for some reason on May 6 but was contested on the later, specified date. This year there were two such instances where the election was postponed and held at a later date, viz., Knowsley, Longview and Wirral, Seacombe.

Candidates are listed in descending order of vote within each ward. The first initial is given; ‘Ms.’ after a candidate’s name indicates a woman; and ‘*’ indicates that the candidate was a sitting councillor, although not necessarily for the ward fought in 1996. Vote is the number of electors who supported each candidate and Share the proportion of the total number who cast a valid ballot supporting each candidate. Because of rounding shares do not necessarily sum to 100.

In the case of multi-member wards where more than one vacancy was filled we have used the vote of each party’s best placed candidate in order to calculate total vote and hence party shares. Where a candidate(s) was returned unopposed details for vote, share and turnout are denoted by a dash.

Below the list of candidates is a further line of data. First, the name of the party whose candidate finished top of the poll at the corresponding election in 1996 ( or 1997 in some unitary authorities). In some local authorities recent ward boundary changes have meant that it has not always been possible to indicate a winning party at the previous election. In multi-member wards it is important not to assume that the named party won all available seats in that ward; so-called ‘split-wards’ where seats are shared between parties are fairly common. Next, is recorded the percentage turnout. Turnout is the proportion of the electorate that cast valid ballots at the election. In the overwhelming majority of cases turnout is that given by the local Electoral Adminis- trator and has thus been calculated knowing the number of valid ballot papers issued. In the remaining cases we have ourselves calculated turnout from the available infor- mation. The figure to the right of the turnout represents the lead of the winning party over the second placed party in percentage terms rounded to one decimal place. Because of rounding the percentage majority may not be the same as the winning party’s vote share minus the second-placed party’s share.

xvii Candidates standing for local election use an extensive variety of party labels and we have felt obliged to reduce these to manageable numbers. Unless the party label included the word ‘Independent’ we have treated such candidates as if they were official party candidates. It was necessary to bring together a large number of candi- dates under the general heading of ‘Independents’. In some cases we have retained the labels used by specific local parties when the number of candidates fielded has warranted it. A list of party labels follows:
