Summary The election saw the council remain in no overall control. However Labour councillors overtook Conservatives to become the largest party on the county council. The Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties had enough seats to form a coalition, with the support of some of the Independents, but following the election of a new Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, a coalition was formed between them and Labour, with the Conservatives going into opposition .https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22555136 Cumbria County Council approves coalition deal BBC News 16 May 2013 17 May 2013 Results border|780px Results Maphttp://www.cumbria.gov.uk/Election2013/Results/default.asp Elections 2013 results Cumbria County Council 3 May 2013 17 May 2013 Party Councillors Votes Of total Net Of total Net Conservative Party 26 37 84 1 yes -12 26 84 Conservative Party (UK) 39,581 31.6% -8.5% 31.6 Conservative Party (UK) #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Labour Party 35 35 84 1 yes +11 35 84 Labour Party (UK) 34,876 27.9% +6.5% 27.9 Labour Party (UK) #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Liberal Democrats 16 16 84 1 yes 0 16 84 Liberal Democrats (UK) 23,282 18.6% -0.4% 18.6 Liberal Democrats (UK) #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 UK Independence Party 0 0 84 1 yes 0 0 84 UK Independence Party 14,591 11.7% +10.9% 11.7 UK Independence Party #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Independent 7 7 84 1 yes +2 7 84 Independent (politician) 7,013 5.6% +0.7% 5.6 Independent (politician) #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Green 0 0 84 1 yes 0 0 84 Green Party of England and Wales 2,798 2.2% 0% 2.2 Green Party of England and Wales #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 British National Party 0 0 84 1 yes 0 0 84 No Label 1,737 1.4% -3.8% 1.4 British National Party #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Socialist People's Party 0 0 84 1 yes 0 0 84 No Label 256 0.2% -0.7% 0.2 Socialist People's Party (Furness) #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition 0 0 84 1 yes 0 0 84 No Label 226 0.2% +0.2% 0.2 Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition #c0c0c0 #f0f0f0 Members elected The election returned members as follows: Electoral division Member(s) elected PartyDistrict (note: administered as a whole)AspatriaJim Lister Conservative AllerdaleBothel and WharrelsJoseph (Alan) BownessConservative AllerdaleCockermouth North Eric NicholsonConservative AllerdaleCockermouth South Allan KennonConservative AllerdaleDearham and Broughton Alan Clark Labour AllerdaleHarrington Marjorie RaeW.
