According to Anthony, Dudley South would be Labour should the proposed boundary changes go through. The said changes must be fairly radical. Could anyone explain this?

“Which parts of this seat were in Dudley West from 1974-1997?”

Most of it was. Only the Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews ward was in Dudley East with the other five wards being in Dudley West. Of course these boundaries are more favourable to Labour than those of Dudley West so they would have won the by-election with a bigger percentage majority than they did in West though probably a smaller numerical majority

Halesowen and Rowley Regis was a knife-edge notional Tory seat in 1992 – yes all four were Labour gains.
Stourbridge had a notional 1992 majority of about 5,000 (10%)

I think Dudley North and Dudley South were both notional labour holds in 1997, and Stourbridge and Halesowen and Rowley Regis were labour gains..

Surely they would have done – their majority was about 20-21,000
and it was about the nadir of the government’s fortunes, with Labour about 40 points ahead (according to the old Gallup system).

Does anyone think labour would still have won the 1994 by-election if it had been faught using the post 1997 boundaries?
