Matt – I think this will not be much help, but when the 1983 boundaries were drawn up, this seat included wards 1-12, 23-25 and 28-36 of Wrexham Maelor

Save the islands seats, were any seats won with fewer votes than here?

Can anyone point me where I can find which wards made up the Wrexham constituency from 1983-1997. I’m trying to work out the boundary back then between Wrexham and Clwyd SW to see how the new Glyndwr might vote these days. I can’t find the relevant info anywhere.

Cheers!!

Those of you not living in Wales may not yet have heard about the problem that two Liberal Democrat candidates for the Welsh assembly have been having this week. Aled Roberts was a member of a public body which they say disqualifies him from being a candidate for election to the welsh assembly, but this only came to light this week.
Look at BBC Wales web site for further detail.

Wrexham has undergone “interesting political times” over the last 12 years. I am tempted to say that it is a three horse race, based on recent election results, but I am reluctant to write off the chances of the Plaid candidate this time.

At last years election the BNP and UKIP had candidates but this year there are only the four main Welsh parties standing. How will those BNP and UKIP votes be re-distributed?

I believe local factors in this constituency may suggest that there could be a big upset here this time. The turnout in welsh assembly elections is significantly less than for Westminster elections.
How much work have the Four main parties been putting in locally?

I can’t see it either, like Caerphilly I think labour will win by an absolute minimum of 10%.
