A working-class industrial seat at the heart of the West Midlands' Black Country, West Bromwich East has been a genuine marginal for two decades (it was created in 1974) although the Tories have never won it. The closest shave was in Labour's dark days of 1983, when they retained the constituency by a mere 296 votes. This time however, the middle-class owner occupiers to the northeast of the site are more thoroughly outgunned, with the arrival of a Labour ward from West Bromwich West. Labour's Peter Snape seems assured of a comfortable victory.
