History
The West Side Metropolitan Borough was created in 2020, before which Aarnselm was governed as an entire city by a larger authority. The council came about as part of plans to divide up authorities and decentralize power.

Political Nature
The West Side of Aarnselm is a left wing stronghold, made up of The Quays and Halewood on the south end, which make up 2/3 of the borough and are predominantly working class, socialist areas. Halewood in particular is seen as one of the most left behind parts of the city. In the Northern Suburbs, national politics is a far closer race with the constituency having elected a Conservative in the past, and only narrowly being held in 2019 by Green Solidarity

In the 2020 Local Elections, Solidarity won a majority of the council seats, winning 28 of 45.

Since 2015, 3 Parties have represented the West Side, although the Worker's Party would merge with the Greens and Solidarity.
