Background

Previous election

Main article: 2017 West Lothian Council election

At the previous election in 2017, the Scottish National Party (SNP) won the most seats, forming the largest block, but were 4 seats short of a majority. Close behind the SNP were Labour, who won the next largest amount of seats, winning 12. The Conservatives won 7 seats, gaining 6 seats and increasing their vote share by 14.3%. The sole independent, Stuart Borrowman also held his seat. Following the result, the Labour and Conservative groups worked together in the chamber to hold a majority,[2] although both parties denied this claim.[3] This agreement led to Labour councillor Lawrence Fitzpatrick being appointed Council Leader and Conservative councillor Tom Kerr was appointed Provost of West Lothian. However, in November 2021, SNP councillors tabled a motion of no-confidence against Cllr Fitzpatrick's administration. The motion failed following support from the Conservatives.[4]

Electoral system

The election used the 9 wards created following the fifth statutory review of electoral arrangements conducted by Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland in 2016, with 33 councillors elected. Each ward elected either three or four councillors, using the single transferable vote (STV) electoral system – a form of proportional representation – where candidates are ranked in order of preference.

Composition

There were two by-elections in 2021 which saw each main party field candidates. The Livingston South by-election held in March 2021 following the retirement of SNP councillor Peter Johnston resulted in the SNP retaining the seat.[6] Meanwhile in the October 2021 East Livingston and East Calder by-election which was called following the death of Labour councillor Dave King resulted in a gain for the SNP.[7] In the weeks following the by-election Labour councillor Angela Doran-Timson joined the Conservatives.[8][9]

Note: Votes are the sum of first preference votes across all council wards. The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 4 May 2017. This is because STV has an element of proportionality which is not present unless multiple seats are being elected. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at the dissolution of Scotland's councils.[12][13]

Aftermath

Although the SNP won the most seats, Labour were chosen to run the council after doing a deal with the Conservatives. The council resembles the set up after the previous election, with Labour running a minority administration with loose coalition support from the four Conservative councillors, the Independent Stuart Borrowman and Liberal Democrat, Sally Pattle.[1]

In response to the announcement, former Labour councillor and MSP Neil Findlay, who represented Fauldhouse and the Breich Valley from 2003 to 2012, called his own party "shameful [for] voting Tories into office", saying the Conservatives were "the enemy of my class".[32]

2022 Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh by-election

In September 2022, Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh Labour councillor Ann Davidson died.[33] A by-election was held on 1 December 2022 and was won by Labour candidate Tony Boyle.[34]
