Despite poverty, unemployment, council housing and a significant non-white, particularly Bangladeshi, population, Bethnal Green and Bow, which looks like typical Labour territory, is a area with a curious recent political past. The Liberals, and then the Liberal Democrats, did very well here in local elections during the 1980s and looked as if they might even realise parliamentary ambitions. However, local power slipped away from them acrimoniously in 1994, and the constituency is once again safely Labour.
