Analysis
The Conservatives retained a majority of seats in England, though with a net loss of 23 seats. They also increased their share of the vote to their highest since 1987.
The Labour Party substantially increased their share of the vote and made gains for the first time since 2001, but did not overtake the Conservatives. Labour received its highest share of the vote in England since 1997.
The
UKIP saw their share of the vote collapse to almost negligible levels. They failed to gain any new seats and their one success from 2015, Clacton, returned to Conservative control.[4] Paul Nuttall resigned as party leader on 9 June 2017 after finishing in third place at Boston and Skegness.[5]
The Green Party decreased its share of the vote and failed to make any gains, but retained Brighton Pavilion. The party deliberately chose not to contest many seats, in order to give Labour an increased chance of winning over Conservative candidates.
