I am surprised at our gain here – well done.
The Conservatives have won the richest & poorest seats in Cornwall, the ones in the middle have stayed LD.
seems I am talking nonsense. It had passed me by that the Conservatives also gained Truro & Falmouth!
Labour stayed in third, barley.
Claudia, I don’t know Karen Gillard, but that’s a bit harsh.
What has been the historic seat history of Looe?
What has been the boundary history of Looe since 1885?
Also, what has been the boundary history of Polperro since 1885?
What has been the boundary history of Looe and Polperro?
They will have been in Bodmin from 1885 to 1983 and in this seat since then. East Looe and West Looe were of course well known rotten boroughs, each returning two members before the 1832 Reform Act
‘They will have been in Bodmin from 1885 to 1983′
By this I presume they were not in Bodmin before the former year but in the Cornwall East two-seater
Yes of course Bodmin before 1885 was a borough constituency which comprised just the town itself, unlike the post 1885 county division of Bodmin
