CITY COUNCIL Composition and Control Bristol City Council is elected by thirds and there are two Councillors per ward, each serving a 4 year term. Wards never have both Councillors up at the same time, so effectively 2/3 of the wards are up each election. The Council has long been dominated by the Labour Party , but recently the Liberal Democrat party has grown strong in the city and took minority control of the Council at the 2005 election. The Council Leader is Liberal Democrat Councillor Barbara Janke and the Lord Mayor is Conservative Councillor Peter Abraham . ;Partisan Composition Source {Link without Title}
