Tempting. However, I think there needs to be serious London-wide agitation over the 1965 boroughs - they just do not work, or to use the preferred jargon, are not fit for purpose. The historic Brentford & Chiswick Council would have been Conservative for 35 years out of the last 48, Labour eight years and 'hung' for four years. Meanwhile, Hounslow has had a Conservative majority four years out of 48, a Conservative / ICG coalition for four years and Labour the rest. Equally, the historic Southall Council would have been Labour 44 years out of 48, but Ealing has been Conservative 20 years out of 48. Paddington has voted Labour 11 yeas out of 48 and been 'hung' for a further eight, but Westminster has been blue since its creation. I have a lot more of this stuff if anyone is interested. |
