The danger in celebrating parish and town council wins for your own party
There are two sorts of councils and hence council elections in the UK. Those called "principal authorities", which cover bodies such as* county councils, district councils, unitary councils and London Boroughs. Then there is a lower tier made up of parish, community and town councils. Politically, there is a key difference between the two which explains why systematic analysis of council by-elections, vote share changes in them and collections of local by-election results all cover (only) principal authorities. That's true for academics, the better sort of political pundits, reference works and the like.
