I dispute the fact that 'Hyndburn is not a natural Tory seat'.
The country, and this area, have changed from the old rule of manufacturing areas being Labour, and leafy suburbs being true blue. Afterall for most of the Thatcher years this constituency had a Conservative M.P.
I'm genuienly suprised that locally Labour didn't take more of a bashing in Hyndburn, which it appears to have done in the rest of the country. The loss of one seat is neither here nor there.

Ya we did have a Tory MP but we will be very luck to ever have one again, the goal posts have been moved, I think they used to call it Gerrymandering. When you look back to 1996 the council was 44 Labour 3 Conservative, there are now just 35 seats, but I cant ever see the Tories having say 30 to 5 advantage, as I said in my earlier post we have to wor hard to keep power
