    North Hykeham was only included from 1983 to 1997 so no Labour never won on those boundaries, though they would of course have won on those boundaries in the three previous elections. It isn’t possible to make this a safe Tory seat obviously, but expanding the boudnaries outwards can only make it harder for Labour

    OK, thanks Pete. I wasn’t sure of the situation pre 1983.

    Con vote is still 8.1% below 1992 here,
    as far as I can estimate.
    Labour is down by a similar amount – back to 1987.

    But I think both parties had done a bit better than their averages in 1979-87, so maybe it’s not such a drop historically.
