	BBC NEWS \| VOTE 2001 \| RESULTS & CONSTITUENCIES \| Battersea
		Battersea and Clapham, and now also Balham, have undergone a transformation in the last 20 years, becoming the home of choice to many affluent young professionals - who made it fashionable to live there and brought with them the wine bars and restaurants which now typify much of the seat.
		There is only one Labour ward, Latchmere, in the Battersea constituency, the other seven wards are Conservative held.
		Contrary to its Conservative tradition, Battersea was one of the first constituencies to elect a left-wing MP in 1892, although his party was the Battersea Labour League, as the Labour party had not yet been created.

	Battersea (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		Battersea is an unusually-shaped constituency due to it following the Thames as it snakes into and out of central London, covering the north-eastern third of the London Borough of Wandsworth.
		Battersea constituency was created in 1983 by merging the old Battersea North and Battersea South constituencies (some areas of Battersea South became part of the ajoining Tooting constituency).

	The Development of Battersea by Sean Creighton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Because Battersea did not have a bridge until 1771 it was a sleepy rural village on and near the North-east Surrey shore of the Thames.
		Battersea's working class has been developing a vibrant and growing multi-faceted culture based on their own organisations, including the Battersea and Wandsworth Co-operative Society, trade union branches, and friendly societies.
		When it closes Battersea is already being hit badly by the decline in industry in general and the contraction of the scale of the railway industry.

		Battersea, though Labour in 1983, was a somewhat surprising Conservative loss in 1997.
		The riverside and Battersea Park areas deserve their reputation as 'south Chelsea', while the area near Clapham Junction station (Northcote) has also moved up in the world since the days of 'Up the Junction'.
		Labour's problem was not that Battersea was overwhelmingly Conservative, it was that it seemed that a hard-line and intransigent form of Conservatism had taken over the area and voted down the line for Tories in local and general elections, while the still substantial Labour vote was a scattered and demoralised force.

		It was this analysis that led the CPGB to contest the Shettleston constituency in Glasgow at a by-election in 1930.
		Saklatvala, the Communist ex-MP for Battersea was the candidate, and one of the main reasons for the contest was that Shettleston was a stronghold of the ILP and the Labour left, and in addition the Labour candidate was an ILP left-winger, John McGovern.
		The communists were pleased that in the constituencies that they contested their vote had gone up, while the Labour Party’s had declined.

		All biographers agree that Saklatvala's notoriety was due to his election as an MP for Battersea North in south London in the 1920s.
		Battersea Labour Party was disaffiliated early in 1926, and after the General Strike in the same year a new official Labour Party was established in the borough.
		Although he did not stand again in his Battersea constituency at the 1935 General Election he did urge his supporters to vote Labour and offered his help to the Labour candidate - an offer that was refused.

		Battersea has a reputation for being a moderate, loyal and relatively active party so this seems more than just a few "lefties" causing trouble for a new Labour MP...
		But from experience of living in Battersea he's an absolutely dismal campaigner, with very little personal vote (not entirely his own fault given the huge turnover in voters every year in the constituency).
		Though again, we have no evidence other than battersea boy's assertion that this is an attempt by another individual to become MP instead of a local party fed up with a useless, lazy and complacent incumbent...

	Labour in Wandsworth - Your area - 1. Balham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Balham ward is the southern-most ward in the Battersea parliamentary constituency but is over two miles and a train-ride from the heart of Battersea itself.
		This is a district that spreads across constituencies - and indeed boroughs: there are several streets in Lambeth that might regard themselves as part of Balham.
		Balham has remained almost unchanged in the boundary changes; not least because there is little scope for change: half of its boundary comprises the borough boundary, a further third is the parliamentary constituency boundary between Battersea and Tooting.

		I think the list of constituencies should show the location (when it isn't obvious) of a constituency, or at least the county and nation, and the incumbant MP with perhaps the majority also.
		Then eg Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross would be ''Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross constituency'' and the risk of unintended duplicate articles would be rather less than at present.
		I've jsut reverted the changes you made on this constituency's naming as - if you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:UK_Parliamentary_constituencies you'll see it has pretty much been a ''de facto'' standard to use an ampersand and '(constituency)' in the articile naming.

		Finally, Battersea is the sort of constituency that is Labour because of the strong economy; but it is one the Tories are working hard, and their candidate is far more charismatic, able and competent than the useless Linton.
		While Battersea has generally swung to the right over the past thirty years, economic comptence wins you a lot of brownie points within this area.
		The Tory lurch to the right does not go down well in places like Battersea and I would not be surprised if Linton even has an increase in his majority.
