Oxford City Conservatives

Building on success.

We have been rebuilding the Conservative Party in the City Of Oxford over the past two years. Following the most vigorous city council election campaign that Oxford Conservatives have mounted for over a decade the Party has made major progress in Oxford. The Conservatives had no directly-elected Councillors before this election, but they are now much closer to making the break through. From an incredibly low base, with virtually no information or resources the Conservatives have seen a swing of 7.5% from Lib Dems to Conservatives across the City.

The hard work of our candidates and volunteer campaign team has paid off. The Conservative Party has a fantastic platform from which to mount our future campaigns.

Headline successes of the May 2008 Oxford City Council elections:

City wide swing from Lib Dem to Conservatives of 7.5%.
Across the City, more than 2,000 new people voted Conservative.
In half of the the wards in the City of Oxford the Conservatives are now in 2nd place.
