This was the first electoral test for Prime Minister and Conservative leader John Major, who had taken the helm from Margaret Thatcher in November 1990. Labour and the Liberal Democrats both benefited from the Conservative losses. The main opposition Labour Party gained 584 seats, bringing their number of councillors to 9,504, their highest since 1975. Their projected share of the vote was 38%, a decline of 6% from the previous year. They overtook the Conservatives in number of councillors and would remain in that position until 2003. The governing Conservative Party lost 1,035 seats, leaving them with 7,985 councillors. Their share of the vote was projected to be 35%, an increase of 2% from the previous year. The Liberal Democrats gained 407 seats and had 3,672 councillors following the elections, a record number and a sign of their improving popularity following a series of disastrous performances in local and European elections following their formation in March 1988. Their projected share of the vote was 22%, up from 17% in 1990.The 1992 General Election - Liberal Democrats https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/politics97/background/pastelec/ge92lib.shtml BBC News 3 May 2016 Despite the Conservatives' heavy losses, the party would go on to win the 1992 general election 11 months later.
