A really interesting read for me, as this is a by-election where I'd struggle to vote for any of them. The Ian Warren articles linked to by andrewteale are worth a look, including the startling (to me) statement that in the last 5 years 1 million people have left London, mainly to commuter towns across the south of England. I'm aware of the phenomenon but not of how many and how fast. |

I'm aware of the phenomenon but not of how many and how fast. Its really not that startling. London has always had a lot of churn and large scale movements of people coming in and out. Certainly the housing issues are making a major impact. I'm less convinced by Warren's analysis, though. There have been a lot of predictions in the past with regard to inevitable political trends and they haven't come to anything - on the Labour/Tory inevitable collapse depending on temporary events. |

Depends on the trends. Suburban areas becoming more Labour and post-industrial ones more Tory is evident - compare swings in Bolsover to Rushcliffe and Derbyshire North East to Sheffield, Hallam back in 2017. In the US in 2016, the south west (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada) is more Democrat-friendly than rust belt states like Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - a near total reverse of 2004. |

The American ones may not be permanent though - results in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the mid-terms and state level suggest that. New Mexico and Nevada have benefitted from demographic change but it does depend on whether Hispanic voters firm up for the Democrats - and start voting in greater numbers. If so, Texas will go Democrat within 20 years Not so sure about all your UK examples. Derbyshire NE has simply become more Ford Mondeo new-estate middle class as Tories have moved there, Hallam has followed the Northern city anti-Tory trend . Definitely agree about some of the post-industrial areas, though again not all. |

I guess you would call that a score draw. |

I guess you would call that a score draw. Doesn't it indicate that Andy Abrahams is quite impressive/has a big personal vote? Labour win with him and lose without him. He won both a council ward and mayoralty that all other Labour candidates have lost to the MIF? My takeaway would be that Labour have shown that generic candidates will narrowly lose to the MIF, but the right candidate can win. If I was in their local party I'd be thinking whether he's the man to win the parliamentary seat back. |

There were also some comments in the Twittersphere that this should be a disappointing result for Labour as, to use the prevalent phrase last night “the wheels have come off the MIF lately”. |

Definitely agree about some of the post-industrial areas, though again not all. If Trump gets a second term, Georgia and Texas will be strong hopes for the Democrats in the 2024 election. Arizona and North Carolina are already competitive states. Another comparison is between Leeds North West and Morley & Outwood. Leeds shows the trends well with Tories strong in Elmet and Morley and weak in Leeds NE and NW. But unlike in Derbyshire and West Yorks, the Tories aren't winning post-industrial seats in South Yorks like Penistone and Rother Valley (the former was lost by 1,200 in 2017). |

Leeds NW on current boundaries isn't Tory at all... small pockets of it are very blue though.
Morley & Outwood... the villagey bits of the seat are solidly Tory - they've also done okay with the UKIP supporters there. Outwood is a socialist paradise. On a different planet to the remainder of the constituency.
