| This seat was created in 1983, and won by Keith Raffan for the Tories. Raffan was a Tory moderate who quit in 1992 and later returned to his native Scotland where he is now a Liberal Democrat MSP. In 1992 David Hanson won for Labour and held on last time with a predictably increased majority. This is a socially middling seat, not too heavy at either end of the social scale. If the Tories looked like winning a general election they could well be in with a chance, but expect no change this time. |
