Claim seat "has since 1970 frequently flipped" between parties

[edit]

In the political history section it says this is "a marginal seat which has since 1970 frequently flipped between electing Conservative and Liberal/Liberal Democrat candidates". However I think the use of frequently here is debatable, as it has only changed hands 4 times in these 50 years (and 9 general elections and 1 by-election). More over there have been long periods of party holds - Conservative for 23 years and six consecutive wins between 1974 and 1997 and Lib Dem for 18 years and four consecutive wins 1997-2015. Compare with Eastbourne which has alternated between Conservative and Lib Dem at the last five elections. Dunarc (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
