Labour held this socially mixed Scottish seat in 1992, but only just. Much of the seat is middle-class and well-heeled, the sort of people who would vote Conservative in England, and even though this is Scotland, many of them did. This time around, though, the Boundary Commission has come to Labour's aid - their slender 1,744 majority will be boosted by the addition of the working-class shipbuilding town of Port Glasgow to the seat, while moving the Tory areas around Inverclyde to adjoining Greenock. The result is that Renfrewshire West is now a safe Labour seat (and Greenock can easily absorb the Inverclyde wards and remain safe for Labour too). Labour's Tommy Graham has every reason to applaud the boundary commissioners.
