Having previousy put 3 Brent wards into Hampstead and Kilburn constituency for the last parliamentary election, they've now decided to move one of them out again. Trying to organise borough-wide campaigns will become a real nightmare, given how boroughs are split between so many different constituencies containing parts of different boroughs. And, being a pedant, I would point out to those who think this resurrects the old Willesden and Wembley, that it doesn't. Historic Willesden included, for instance, Kilburn. The proposed Willesden constituency doesn't.Pete Firminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-36288215234587307562011-09-13T08:39:47.541+01:002011-09-13T08:39:47.541+01:00Apollo Club as the new Town Hall?

It was a reluctant marriage between Willesden and Wembley (Labour and Tory) anyway - if divorce happens perhaps refugees from the north will swim across the Welsh Harp to seek political exile.Martin Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194641151012303116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-66463640476561353892011-09-13T08:31:20.792+01:002011-09-13T08:31:20.792+01:00Personally I like the idea of Willesden returning ...Personally I like the idea of Willesden returning (no offence Martin)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-60888830906916559312011-09-13T08:30:34.280+01:002011-09-13T08:30:34.280+01:00A real dogs dinner of a proposal, which would have...A real dogs dinner of a proposal, which would have a Hammersmith and Fulham ward included in the new Brent constituency of Willesden They are now saying that two constituencies isn't enough for Brent's electorate - well, they already had a go at reducing our three to two, so why all this back-tracking nonsense!<br /> <br />Really, I think the previous precedent to start having GE boundaries straddle borough boundaries was a really bad idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-37786085163534299952011-09-12T22:05:32.822+01:002011-09-12T22:05:32.822+01:00Further de-coupling of the link between local and ...Further de-coupling of the link between local and national politics.
