Liberal Democrats , Reform UK and Greens all had reasons to be delighted by the 4 July General Election.

There are signs that smaller parties could enjoy more success in 2025 .

Thirty councils and unitary authorities will be up for grabs when local elections nationwide take place on 1 May .

The local elections will be fought in very different conditions to what they were in May 2021 .

Greens received 10 per cent of the overall vote share at the General Election .

They came second in 40 seats, including in Sheffield , Huddersfield , Bristol and several seats in London .

Greens are seen by enough voters in the Home Counties and provincial England as an option to beat the Tories where Labour is not competitive.
