I have been working out what the 1992 electorates for each Westminster seat would have looked like on the 1997 boundaries. I have got as far as Wales, Scotland and NI a few other seats and will be sorting London next. This enables comparisons to be made in each seat in terms of % change in turnout or % change in electorate. Hope these are of use to somebody. In time I hope to extend the project to the 1983, 2005 and 2010 elections.
Some seats had unchanged boundaries in the 1997 review so it is a simple matter of just copying the electorate figures over. When I have finished the project the figures for the total 1992 electorate and the figure for the total notional 1997 electorate will be exactly the same (I hope).
