South West: New Constituency Boundaries 2006

Each new seat can be described as a combination of parts of old seats. These table show this decomposition. The winner of the old seat at the 2005 election is shown by party colour, as is the implied winner of the new seat.

The implied results are now calculated using the local election results for the wards which make up each old seat. This should be more accurate than the earlier implied results which assumed each constituency was homogeneous.

The main changes are the addition of one new seat in Cornwall (St Austell and Newquay) which should be a Lib Dem seat, and another new seat in Devon (Devon Central) which should be Conservative. Also the Devon seat of Devon West and Torridge is predicted to be a narrow Lib Dem gain from the old Conservative seat of the same name.
