Thursday was not just the General Election day, but there were local elections in parts of England as well. The massacre of the Liberal Democrats continued, they lost half their councils and over a third of their councillors. Labour didn't do much better only losing, net, 3 of their councils but lost over 200 councillors. The British National Party also lost their final council seat.
UKIP took control of South Thanet Council, despite Nigel Farage losing the Parliamentary seat. The Greens continued to make steady progress at local level, increasing their number of councillors by 11. However the night belonged to the Tories, they gained control of 32 councils and gained over 500 new councillors as the local government map also turned mainly blue. The results are below:
