1990 UK local government election

Map of the results for the 1990 Leeds council election.

The1990Leeds City Council elections were held on Thursday, 4 May 1990, with one third of the council and twocasual vacancies inBeeston andNorth to be elected. There had been anumber of by-elections in the interim, resulting in twoLabour gains inArmley andBurmantofts from theSocial and Liberal Democrats and holds elsewhere.

The election was held amidst deep unpopularity for theConservative national government and theirpoll tax measure, resulting in the party's worst ever performance in the English locals.^[1] The effects it had in Leeds were no less severe, with the party obtaining a record low vote share, with their victories confined to just 4 of the 33 wards, restricted to their Northern heartlands –Cookridge, North,Roundhay andWetherby – losing stalwartsAireborough,Halton,Pudsey North andWeetwood to Labour for the first time.

Both the Conservative vote and the SLD vote were little changed from theprevious election; the landslide was caused by a remarkable increase in Labour's vote – over 50% on recent elections – bringing with it a record turnout (with1979 omitted). The SLD's slate was notably much reduced, fielding their lowest number of candidates since1978, after their fall-back at their last outing. Similar to the last election, their sole loss was found in Armley to Labour, narrowly holding ontoOtley &Wharfedale, but much more comfortably theirHorsforth andMoortown seats. In total, Labour's five gains extended their majority by ten, comfortably surpassing party records in votes, vote share and council majority.

Elsewhere, the leader of the newly formedLiberal Party Michael Meadowcroft – alongside his fellow candidate inHarehills – won a respectable second place inBramley. Meanwhile, their fellow SLD defectors, theSDP joined theCommunists in producing just one candidate – with both collecting negligible support, suggesting possible demise (with the latter likely adversely impacted by recent international events).^[2]
