Walthamstow Neil Gerrard 8,138 25,287 5,491 0 0 Walthamstow 17,650 21,001 7,489 0 1,285 Labour Semi-suburban Walthamstow, half-way out to the edge of north-east London, has given Labour a number of shocks in past elections. The two Walthamstow seats of the time were lost to Labour in by-elections in 1967 and 1969. The West seat returned to Labour in 1970, and stayed Labour - East and West were unified in 1974 - until an unlikely Tory success in 1987. It returned to the Labour fold in 1992. Although Walthamstow can always throw up surprises, one feels that the Conservative success in 1987 resulted from a combination of Thatcherism's popularity to the north-east of London and a strong showing by the SDP. Those days are long gone, and Labour's Neil Gerrard should hold the seat this time.
