| One of Labour's traditional strongholds - site of the biggest public housing estate in Western Europe and a Ford car factory (although that's closing next year - look for a drop in Labour's majority.) John Parker, Labour MP for Dagenham from 1945 to 1983, once ran on the slogan "give me a forty thousand majority". The seat swung to the Tories in the eighties as part of a protest against the hard left in London Labour, but while nearby seats like Thurrock and Walthamstow fell, Labour held Dagenham in 1987 (though only by about 3500), which was a little red island in a deep blue Tory sea. |
