Where are Merseyside's Tories? Some of them at least are alive and well and living on the Wirral peninsula. Within living memory, the Conservatives held the majority of Liverpool's seats - they won six out of nine in 1959. They won none in 1992, and for the foreseeable future the city looks comfortably red. One of the factors in this decline was the flight of the middle-classes out of the city, and many of them crossed the Mersey to Wirral West, now solidly Conservative. The seat is not uniformly middle-class - Labour not the Lib Dems are the challengers, but long-standing Wirral MP will have no trouble brushing them aside.
