Local elections were held in the United Kingdom in 1988.[1][2] The Conservative government held its ground and remained ahead in the projected popular vote.
The national projected share of the vote was Conservative 39%, Labour 38%, Social and Liberal Democrats 18%. The Conservatives gained 9 seats, Labour gained 76 seats and the SLD lost 122 seats.
These were the first national elections contested by the SLD, which had just been formed as a merger of the SDP and Liberals after several years of the alliance.
