{{Short description|Possible result of a UK local election}} {{Use British English|date=December 2022}} In the context of [[Local government in the United Kingdom|local authorities]] in the [[United Kingdom]], '''no overall control''' ('''NOC'''; {{Langx|cy|dim rheolaeth gyffredinol}}<ref>{{Cite news|url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/welsh/hi/newsid_6540000/newsid_6549800/6549807.stm|title=OGWR|date=May 8, 2007|publisher=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>) is a situation in which no single [[political group]] achieves a majority of seats, comparable to a [[hung parliament]]. Of the 248 councils who had members up for election in the [[2019 United Kingdom local elections|2019 local elections]], 73 (over a quarter) resulted in a NOC administration. In the [[2021 United Kingdom local elections|2021 local elections]], 14 resulted in no overall control. Outside of the UK, the term may be applied to other local authorities, such as the [[local councils of Malta]] and the [[General Assembly of Budapest]] in [[Hungary]].
== Administration == Typically, if no party achieves overall control of a council, the largest grouping will form alliances to create an [[ad hoc]] governing [[coalition]]. Often local authorities have larger proportions of smaller party and [[independent (politician)|independent]] members than the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]], and when there is no overall control this often results in minor groups having more influence than their numbers alone would suggest.
In a result of no overall control, the largest party may attempt to govern as a minority administration. Parties may also work together to create a formal deal, which can range from a [[confidence and supply]] deal{{efn|Confidence votes in local governments do not cause early elections.}} to full coalition. Deals, especially the looser kind, can occur between parties which are not traditionally aligned on a national level. For example, a minority [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] administration was formed in 2019 in [[Metropolitan Borough of Bolton|Bolton]] supported by the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] and UKIP,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Halliday |first1=Josh |last2=Pidd |first2=Helen |title=Labour loses control of council strongholds of Bolton and Darlington |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/10/labour-loses-control-bolton-darlington-councils-conservatives-local-elections |access-date=6 September 2024 |work=The Guardian |date=10 May 2019}}</ref> whilst a Labour-UKIP formal coalition existed in [[Borough of Basildon|Basildon]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chapman |first1=Chloe |title=Ukip and Labour to 'form first coalition' |url=https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/15304494.ukip-and-labour-to-form-first-coalition/ |access-date=6 September 2024 |work=Echo |date=24 May 2017 |language=en}}</ref> Following the [[2017 Aberdeen City Council election]], all nine Labour councillors were expelled from the party for entering into a coalition with the Conservatives.<ref>{{cite news |title=Labour councillors in Aberdeen suspended over Tory coalition |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-39940006 |access-date=6 September 2024 |work=BBC News |date=17 May 2017}}</ref>
It is possible for a council to be under no overall control even when there appears to be an overall majority, in particular in the case of a majority of independents, who commonly have no collective policies when elected. This can also arise when the council members divide on other than party lines. For instance, the [[2004 United Kingdom local elections|2004 elections]] to the [[Isle of Anglesey County Council]] returned more independents than all others put together, but only [[Plaid Cymru]] maintained a party group within the council, and not all of its elected members joined the group. The remainder of the council, including some members of other political parties, formed four non-partisan groups, none of which held a majority. The [[2008 United Kingdom local elections|2008 elections]] resulted in a group called the ''Original Independents'' gaining an overall majority.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.anglesey-hidden-gem.com/anglesey-county-council.html |title=Controversial Anglesey Councillor Hangs Up His Hat |publisher=Anglesey Hidden Gem |date=September 2010 |access-date=2017-12-02}}</ref>
No overall control is more common in [[Northern Ireland]] and [[Scotland]], in part due to their usage of [[single transferable vote]] as opposed to the [[plurality block voting]] system used in [[England]] and [[Wales]]. Following the [[2022 Scottish local elections]], twenty-seven of the thirty-two councils were under no overall control, with a further three having a majority of [[independent politicians|independents]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Scottish Council Elections 2022 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2022/scotland/results |access-date=9 April 2023 |work=BBC News}}</ref> Following the [[2023 Northern Ireland local elections]], all eleven councils were under no overall control.
