Moreover, those who voted for Reform and the Greens now saw that votes for their party could actually result in them winning seats. While there are few results yet to be announced, the number of joint council seats won by Reform and the Greens reached 2,063; this is almost 200 more seats than the total of 1,864 seats won jointly by the Conservatives and Labor. Meanwhile, Britain’s traditional third party, the Liberal Democrats, won 842 seats on the local council.
