This is an entirely new seat. Dominated by fertile farmland, it has been awarded to traditionally Tory North Yorkshire as a result of local population growth. It will be yet another safe Conservative seat, draining some Tory support from the surrounding constituencies. These are, however, all so solidly true blue that it will make little difference to the balance of power in North Yorkshire - the Lib Dems are distantly second even in those places where they can win local elections. This is good ground for any Tory looking for a safe haven.
