Background

After the last election in 2006 the Liberal Democrats were the largest party with 27 councillors, compared to 21 for Labour and 15 for the Conservatives. [2] However between 2006 and 2010 there were a number of changes in the party composition, with firstly in 2007 a councillor for Kensal Green, Berth Joseph defecting from Labour to the Conservatives. [3] Joseph, after having been suspended from the council for 6 months in 2009, [4] would go to contest the 2010 election as an independent. [5]

They presently have 11 Members of Parliament in the House of Commons, 96 members of the House of Lords, and one member of the European Parliament.

The party reached the height of its influence in the early 2010s, forming a junior partner in a coalition government from 2010 to 2015. It is presently led by Vince Cable.

A Councillor is a member of a local government council.

Meanwhile, in 2009 a second Labour councillor, Francis Eniola of Welsh Harp ward, also defected to the Conservatives.
