[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1483974, member: 85785"] I now live in a very safe constituency. Thirty years ago, I grew up in a safe Tory seat (at the time!) No one believed that it would change. We had a government minister as sitting MP. A general election came along in '79 (I think!) Against all the odds, Labour toppled the MP. (Against the trends) (first ever Labour win there) That constituency now is a safe Labour seat despite the then Tory government changing the boundaries, which affected the nearby constituency, which has been labour since the last two general elections. My area voted remain because the whole of the Merseyside area knew and benefited from the eurozone because all the projects were played for by the Eu! The Tories especially under Thatcher and Major ignored the area and left it to rot away, we scousers don't forget these things! Of course we get many Europeans to visit our great area, thanks to a couple of decades of stability under local government dominated by Labour, despite the ever increasing reduction in money from Westminster. We welcome them all especially the Germans, despite them bombing our chippies! I grew up in an area heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, and suffered some horrendous damage to the docks area and high casualties. I found out as a child that Merseyside was the second likely target for attack if we went to nuclear war! I hid under my desk in school! [/QUOTE]
