Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes make this new seat more of a Conservative one than the old Bromley and Chislehurst constituency. The Tories won the latter with 52.6 per cent of the vote in 2019, followed by Labour on 28.7 per cent, and the Lib Dems 14.5 per cent. The new seat would have been 54.5 per cent Conservative, 25.1 per cent Labour and 16 per cent Lib Dem.
