Situated on the northeast tip of the Wirral peninsula, on the other side of the mouth of the Mersey from Liverpool, central Wallasey shares many of the qualities of the true Merseyside inner-city district, suffering from a pervasive post-industrial blight. However, there are also many middle-class areas. The long-term trend has been to Labour, but it was only recently that it fell to them, although they reduced Ernest Marple's Tory majority to 589 in 1966, and Lynda Chalker's to a mere 279 in 1987. Finally, in 1992, Chalker, the Foreign Office Minister of State, was ousted by Labour's Angela Eagle. Eagle, the party's youngest woman MP, won by a comfortable 4,000 votes, and must surely be a favourite to win again.
