    That’s almost 20 years ago though Andy. I suspect there has been appreciable demographic change in that time

    I wonder if the Conservatives would have ever won this seat on these boundaries. Their largest majority was 2,865 in 1983 and this could well have been wiped out by the areas that have been added in 2010 from Sparkbrook & Small Heath which mostly involves the old Foxhollies ward but also parts of Small Heath. It seems very likely that this would have been enough to prevent a Tory victory in 1959, 1970 and 1979 and would certainly have been very close in the 1980s

    not a bad result for Labour here last time around. One would suspect the the liberals will be worrying in Yardley.
