When Dave Aspden held office (lines, coloured by office) and the elections they contested without winning (dots). Terms are drawn from election records alone: a line runs from each election to the next one for that office — or ends early where winning a different office ended the term — so a resignation for any other reason would not appear here. Hover or tap any mark for the detail; the table below is the record.
