Outcome of London Borough Elections 2014
Labour: 20 boroughs
Conservative: 9 boroughs
Liberal Democrats: 1 borough
Tower Hamlets First: 1 borough (that's Tower Hamlets, where Lutfur Rahman got his core vote out and beat Labour's John Biggs on second preferences)
No Overall Control: 1 borough (that's Havering, where a large number of independent Residents Association candidates prevent the Conservatives from having a majority)
UKIP: 0 boroughs (apparently because we Londoners are "cultural, educated and young"... or maybe because we're the integrated multi-ethnic community their voters elsewhere fear)
