Stockport was the Labour Party's solitary gain in Greater Manchester in 1992, even though it did very well in the rest of the North West. This was the first time that Labour had won the unified Stockport seat since its creation in 1983. At the time, some of the more Labour elements of the town were removed to the next-door Denton and Reddish division, leaving a truncated Stockport. Matters were made worse by the competition of the SDP, and the Tories won easily in 1983. The demise of the SDP and Labour's slow recovery got them the seat back, but now boundary changes - some of the old Labour areas have been given back - look like turning Anne Coffey's marginal 1,422 majority into a comfortable, if notional, 5,500.
