[edit] Boundaries

Following their review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England reduced the number of constituencies in Brent, which had "knock-on" consequences for neighbouring boroughs. The seat of Hampstead and Kilburn is a new creation resulting from these changes. [1]

The electoral wards used in the new constituency are from the boroughs of Brent and Camden and from the current constituencies of Brent East and Hampstead and Highgate.

[edit] Estimates of party support

A PoliticsHome poll of marginal seats across the UK in Autumn 2009 predicts the Conservatives will win the seat[2]. The polling was based on a sample of around 35000 voters in 240 marginal seats. The seats polled were grouped into areas that shared similar aspects in order to give more reliable voting intentions[3].

The Thrasher and Rallings calculations for a media consortium of BBC, ITV, Sky and the Press Association are that on the new boundaries for this constituency the result in 2005 would have been Labour 15,138 (37%), Liberal Democrat 14,664 (36%), Conservative 9,559 (23%) and other parties 2,314, putting Labour 474 votes ahead.[4].
