Composition
Elections are held every four years, interspersed by three years of elections to the four district councils in the county.
| Party | Councillors | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 46 | +1 | |
| Liberal Democrat | 11 | -1 | |
Conservative councillors represent almost all of the county, both in terms of number of seats and geographic area. The one main area of exception is Aylesbury, which is predominantly represented by Liberal Democrats.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Vices enter into the composition of virtues as poisons into the composition of certain medicines. Prudence and common sense mix them together, and make excellent use of them against the misfortunes that attend human life.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
