Now it seems the most Tory version of the Lincoln seat that could be constructed (presuming one has to keep the Lincoln whole) would contain the City of Lincoln, and the District of North Kesteven wards of Waddington West; Heighington and Washingborough; Branston; Metheringham; and Billinghay, Martin and North Kyme.

  What was the last time any of these four constituencies would have voted Labour? 1997? Never... |

Labour Londonmander Am I (East Putney) still in a Tory seat? It contains the wards of Kew, Mortlake and Barnes Common, and Barnes in Richmond Upon Thames; and Thamesfield, East Putney, West Hill, Southfields, and Earlsfield in Wandsworth. Does the one ward from current Tooting make it a Labour seat? |

It appears as though Justine Greening actually gets safer under these lines. But some of her Tory colleagues are heavily impacted, especially Boris, whose seat is divided into multiple seemingly safe Labour seats. Ofc I gave his constituency some special attention.  |

It’d be a selection fight between her and Zack - he’s based in Barnes. |

Having initially said I would do the county, I got a new laptop, lost everything and then got distracted. I give you the South East, gerrymandered to create Labour seats (based on electoral calculus data).  |

Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire
Oxford West, Eynsham & Kidlington (light blue): Lab 23,667, Con 19,842 Lib 17,598. The real numbers will be safer for Labour as several of those LibDem voters are Labour voters voting tactically in Oxford West & Abingdon Oxford East & Banbury (orange): Lab 29,130 Con 21,035 Lib 4,545. The eastern part of Oxford combined with the Labour-voting centre of Banbury and then connected with a "corridor" just one ward wide. Milton Keynes Central & Bletchley (turquoise): Lab 31,229 Con 24,734 UKIP 2,010. The Labour voting core of central Milton Keynes was too small on its own, so I extended it to include Bletchley and create a Labour seat which should be relatively comfortable. The Yellow one next to it is Milton Keynes West & Newport Pagnell, while the red one is Milton Keynes South East & Buckingham. The one in green over on the left is the new Oxfordshire West constituency, created by merging bits of Banbury and Witney constituencies.

Berkshire
Reading (pink): Created by removing Tory wards from Reading until it was the right size, as there was no way to create two Labour seats in Reading. Slough (blue): However I tried, I couldn't get two Labour seats out of Slough, so I left it as it was. I might at some point try putting some of Slough with some of Reading and connecting them.

Hampshire
Southampton Solent (red): Lab 28,216 Con 22,172 LD 1,602, Created by dividing the unitary authority area north-west to south-east rather than north-east to south west. Southampton Inland (purple): Lab 26,565 Con 22,936 LD 3,999. Created in the same way so Southampton now has two Labour seats. Portsmouth South (orange): Lab 20,472 Con 19,341 LD 7,699. Portsmouth South as it was was too small, so I added two wards from Gosport: one with a small Labour win and one with a small Tory one.

Sussex (Brighton)
Worthing East & Shoreham (beige): Con 26,494 Lab 24,027 LD 3,257. Made by combining the Labour wards in Worthing and Shoreham with the least Tory ones. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough to win but did make it very marginal. Hove West (orange): Lab 31,326 Con 23,436 LD 1,840. I split Brighton & Hove into 4 and then dragged in bits of the surrounding countryside. Brighton, Preston Park (yellow): Lab 22,801 Con 20,579 Grn 12,942. Although this seems to be very marginal, if Caroline Lucas took the seat made out of the other half of Brighton Pavillion, I could see this one becoming much safer. Brighton, St Peter's (green): Con 19,536 Grn 18,948 Lab 15,803. Unfortunately, I don't see Labour particularly "holding off" in this one, but if Caroline Lucas decided she wanted this one I think she would win a lot of otherwise Labour voters - easily enough to win. Brighton East & Newhaven (purple): Lab 29,966 Con 22,638 Lib 5,187. Basically Brighton Kemptown enlarged to reach the quota.

Sussex (Hastings)
Hastings & Bexhill East (pink): Lab 27,274 Con 25,212 Lib 2,325 Bexhill actually had some wards that war far closer than those even in Hastings and a couple that actually went red, so these were added and Tory wards removed until it was within the quota.
Eastbourne (light blue) was left alone to remain LibDem

Sussex (Crawley)
Crawley West (beige): Con 24,516 Lab 22,345 LD 4,182. The seat actually becomes more marginal when the east of Crawley is replaced by the surrounding countryside and some of Horsham!

Kent
Canterbury & Ramsgate (pink): Lab 26,394 Con 26,162 LD 4,057. Unfortunately, Canterbury needed to be enlarged, so the entire Western and coastal sections were removed and it was extended as far as the Labour voting parts of Thanet.

View Attachment You go to all that trouble to increase the Labour majority by 45 votes? Why not just add Aylesham ? |
