Below is the General Election percentages for the constituencies the wards are in (Octobers 1st Council by election share)
Below is the average vote share compared to the average vote share from the General Election. Now I know it is not a completely fair comparison as the whole constituency is counted for the GE and only the ward for 2015, but this is just for comparison as we only have one election to compare with by ward for 2015.
But if anything for the variances for not having LibDems in every ward which they would have in every constituency. It seems little has changed. SNP very high Labour if anything slightly down. The Conservatives actually slightly higher due to a couple of good council results where they actually pushed labour into 3rd place in 2 wards.
