Selly Oak is in south Birmingham and includes areas full of students near the University as well as peripheral estates. Labour gained the seat in 1992 and won it well in 1997, and areas like this - mixed, educated, relatively affluent, big city - have been going sour on the Tories for decades (Labour won Selly Oak in October 1974, and 1992, but not in the landslide victory of 1966). Lynne Jones is a left wing MP and not 'New Labour'. |
