A fuller analysis of how people voted in the recent Council elections is now available (see below).
Although attracting the support of 38% of voters Labour now has 55% of the Council seats.
Support for fringe parties such as the BNP collapsed while the Liberal Democrats came second in the popular vote both in the York Central constituency and overall throught the Council area.
The Greens saw a small increae in their vote reflecting the additional condidates that they fielded. The Conservatives attracted fewer votes than in 2007 but this may have been partly due to their choosing to field fewer candidates.
