Swings to the Conservatives in 1972 (compared to 1971) across select Northern cities and towns (figs. from Economist):- Why did this occur? The 1971 locals were fantastically good for Labour. They were unlikely to repeat especially as the Heath government was slightly less unpopular. The strong anti-Labour swing in Manchester was put down to a steep rise in the rates. |

Wonderful stuff, hullenedge. This is all beginning to have the makings of an annual Local Election Handbook of the kind we see on the Elections Centre website. I'm wistfully imagining a handbook for every year since the days of ealdormen. |
