Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rawlings analysis): Boundary changes slightly favour the Conservatives. At the 2019, election they won with 52.2 per cent of the vote, compared to 31.4 per cent for Labour, and 12.6 per cent for the Lib Dems. Under the new boundaries, it would have been 54.5 per cent Tory, 28.1 per cent Labour and 13.5 per cent Lib Dem.
