Nigel Farage's party won 27 seats in Worcestershire today, making them the largest party on the council. 

However, they remained two seats short of an outright majority. 

The Green Party and Liberal Democrats also gained seats in the area as locals appear to be looking beyond Conservative and Labour for leadership.
