*News* In the Sutton Council local elections, the Conservatives lost all their seats. This is the first time they have had no representation since the original council elections in 1964.
They are down from 20 seats in 2022.
The Liberal Democrats achieved their strongest result ever, winning 51 of the 55 available seats.
Labour held on to one seat, while Reform gained two.
The first-past-the-post voting system used in council elections tends to amplify vote share into seat share dramatically, which is partly why winning 51 seats does not necessarily mean 93% of residents voted Liberal Democrat.
A good result for Sutton?
