We will be posting the summary of Thursday’s results when we have the information. Below, you will see an ‘at-a-glance’ guide to the change in councillor numbers (by authority-type), and two ‘In Detail’ tables of new council compositions/control and change in cllr number by authority.
NOTE: It is virtually impossible to find two election results services that tally precisely. This is because there are different ways of treating the notional ‘holder’ of each seat on election day when there have been by-elections or defections in the preceding cycle. Whilst every outlet’s results should be generally consistent, some small variation in the seat numbers and cllr changes should be expected.
At-a-glance
Please note: The at-a-glance figures will only be correct when the full compositions of each county council are known (below)

Nouha says
There have been calls for changes to the syestm to make it more proportional in the past. These changes have all been suggested to make things a bit more portional than they currently are. bear in mind most proportional syestms are designed so that a single party cant gain a majority of seats on a minority of the vote, which is what the SNP have done. Even as late as this year, I heard suggestions that the FPTP seats be changed to AV, so that we end up with a form of AV+ (with closed lists rather than open lists). I've also had political anoraks dicuss having a larger number of seats, and do it not by increasing the number of constituencies, but the number of list MSPs in each region. None of this is new its just the first time its reared above the parapit of electoral anoraks and onto Newsnight..
