Looking at the table. Labour hold five of the least deprived 130
1st 65 Least deprived:
Sheffield Hallam
Cardiff North
2nd 65 Least deprived:
Edinburgh South
Gower
Warwick and Leamington
What links these constituencies to make them far more likely to vote Labour?
I noticed three of them are Wales/ Scotland and just two in England.
Cardiff North has voted Conservative more often than not, but Labour won it back in 2017 and held it comfortably on an increased majority in 2019 against the tide. Gower has voted Labour far more often than not. It was won by the Conservatives in 2015, but Labour took it back in 2017 and held it in 2019. Edinburgh South has been held by Labour since 1987, but was Conservative for a long time before then. Obviously things are different there due to the SNP.
