Politics
Background The current borough was formed in 1965 as a merger of the previous Municipal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (which had the title of a Royal Borough) with the Municipal Borough of Malden and Coombe and the Municipal Borough of Surbiton which were transferred from Surrey to Greater London. It contains all of the Kingston and Surbiton Westminster Parliamentary Constituency and part of the Richmond Park Constituency. There is also a lot of dispute as Kingston is counted as Surrey yet it's a part of Greater London. 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ...

The Borough Council was controlled by the Conservatve Party from 1965 until 1986, when a SDP-Liberal Alliance minority administration briefly took control at the Guildhall. This administration was shortlived, foundering amid controversy over its attempt to abolish the Borough's Grammar School system. After a number of by-election losses, the Conservatives regained control of the Council, loosing to NOC in 1990 at the subsequent Borough elections in 1990 but retaining control on the casting vote of the Mayor. The Conservative Party (officially the Conservative & Unionist Party) is currently the second largest political party in the United Kingdom in terms of sitting Members of Parliament (MPs), and the largest in terms of public membership. ...
