The 2004 Hull City Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Hull City Council in England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control. After the election, the composition of the council was *Labour 27 *Liberal Democrat 24 *Independent 5 *Conservative 2 *United Kingdom Independence Party 1 ==Campaign== Before the election the Labour party formed the administration after becoming the largest party in the 2003 election. Their administration however was criticised by the Audit Commission, which raised the hopes of the Liberal Democrats that could regain control of the council.〔 Labour campaigned saying that voters should choose "order and progress" under themselves rather than the chaos they said the Liberal Democrats had brought while they were in office. They hoped to expand their pilot program of free school meals for all children to all schools within the city.〔 The Liberal Democrats however wanted to abolish the program and pledged to establish crime prevention funds for neighbourhoods, free off-peak bus travel for pensioners and expand recycling.〔 The Liberal Democrats also pledged to keep council tax increases to the same level as rises in earnings for the 2 years after the election.〔 20 of the 59 seats on the council were contested in the election,〔 which was conducted with all postal voting in common with councils across 4 of the English regions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hull City Council election, 2004」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
