I’m not sure if I’m in this constituency: Here’s how you can check
Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): It’s difficult to make a comparison given that this new seat is made up of large chunks out of two previous constituencies. But comparing it to Streatham, Labour’s vote has gone up marginally from 54.8 per cent in 2019 to 55.4 per cent if that election five years ago had been held for the new constituency. The Lib Dem vote has gone down from 23.5 per cent to 19.8 per cent, and the Tory vote has gone up from 16 per cent to 19.5 per cent. All rather complicated.
