Extensive redrawing of boundaries in the area which used to be called south Humberside has produced the rather illogical pairing of Brigg and Goole.
Brigg is a Conservative market town, while Goole is a strongly Labour inland port not far from the edge of the Yorkshire coalfield. Who will win in the new seat of Brigg and Goole? At first it might be thought that Goole (population 18,000) will outvote Brigg (just 5,000). However, there are other parts to the seat as well, such as the very Tory villages and farming communities of the low-lying Isle of Axholme. Overall Goole looks like the untypical minority in the constituency, and it has been calculated that the Conservatives would have won here by about 7,500 votes in 1992.
