Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Few parts of London have been so dramatically affected by boundary changes. Labour won the seat of Eltham in 2019 with 47 per cent of the vote, with the Tories on 39.7 per cent, and Lib Dems 6.7 per cent. However, the new constituency would have been 46.9 per cent Conservative, 40.1 per cent Labour and 7.5 per cent Lib Dem.
