Like many other seats which were formerly fiercely contested marginal seats in London Lewisham East should be dull in 2001. Labour have stayed ahead in the mid term elections since 1997 and it was a bit of a surprise that the Conservatives managed to win the seat in 1983 and 1987 - two landslide wins for them. Short of a Tory landslide or some extraordinary local factor (which does not exist this time round) a reasonably safe Labour seat. |

Sociologically and psephologically very similar to next-door Lewisham West, but has shown more volatility in recent years. Conservatives hold only one seat on Lewisham Borough Council out of 67. The Cenre Party vote here (Liberals now:) peaked at 22% in 1983 (then SDP). Labour took 58.3% of the vote here in 1997. Turnout could be low, but Labour will win easily enough. |
