The town of Nantwich was with Crewe from 1885 to 1950 although the Nantywich rural district formed part of the Eddisbury division. From 1950 to 1955 the Nantwich rural district was also included in the Crewe seat so that it was quite similar to the boundaries from 1983 to 1997(when the old Nantwich rural district was again removed to Eddisbury) – also fairly marginal on those boundaries and would probably have gone Tory in 1959.

Which seats contained Nantwich before it got its own seat in 1955? (and merged with Crewe in 1983 of course)

I think a recount is quite likely with both main parties on about 40%. Probably the Tories are slight favourites.

David Nettleton says ‘Usually a Labour seat’

As has been discussed earlier on this thread, if it hadn’t been for the popularity of the late Gwyneth Dunwoody, the Tories might have won this seat in 1983.

Usually a Labour seat but the Conservatives may hold it. A definite two-way marginal.

As the Tories achieved more than twice the swing necessary to take the seat in the byelection and as they are still riding high in the polls, I think they will certainly secure the 8.4% swing necessary to hold the seat in the GE.

My view is they should attain a 10% swing thus holding by 1000 votes.
