I was hearing good things about the Cumbria seat and the campaign there,enough to make me predict a narrow Lib Dem gain, but still fairly astonished by the scale of that win. I suppose the firm hold on the seat before by the Indy made it difficult to judge, but little sign from e.g the district elections.
Will that be in Farron's potential new seat if the bce proposals go through?
No - along with most of the rest of Carlisle city's rural territory, it's being moved from Penrith and the Border into the new Carlisle constituency.
Tim Farron would be contesting Penrith and Kendal - the northernmost division in that would be the Labour held Alston Moor (which stands out on that map as the red swathe in the far east of the county).

The seat proposed name seems to be Westmorland and Eden, through.

Right you are - that'll teach me to actually check the proposed constituency name and not just guess it after glancing at a map.
