Looks like the Conservatives could end up the third party here - conceivably the three main parties could end up on 14 seats each

The Tory candidate for Kidlington East, a seat they are notionally defending, lives in North Newington, fully 25 miles away.

The incumbent Conservative councillor for Launton & Otmoor is moving to the safer seat of Fringford & Heyfords. I gather there was a contested selection for that one between three incumbent Tories.

The Lib Dems, Greens and 1 Independent formed a joint group and would now have 22 councillors. A tricky balance.

The Lib Dem’s and Labour failed to reach agreement here last year as I recall, perhaps the Lib Dem’s will look elsewhere this time.

With the Lib Dems now being the largest group, the dynamics may have changed. We wait and see.
