The new constitution of the 71 member Council is: Conservatives 46 seats, UKIP 10, Liberal Democrats 8, Labour 6, with one Independent. Before the elections the Conservatives had 47 seats, Liberal Democrats 18, Labour 3, Independent 2 and UKIP 1. The first meeting of the new-look Council will be on Tuesday May 14 and it will be webcast via www.westsussex.gov.uk The turnout was 29.96% compared to 38.72% in 2009 (which was combined with a European Election). As the results show, UKIP is not only the main party of opposition, but it came a close second in many of the wards. The Lib Dems saw their vote collapse costing them ten seats and the position of offical party of opposition, while Labour doubled its number of councillors from three to six, after a strong performance in Crawley.
