  Liverpool Wavertree (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Liverpool Wavertree is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency is one of five covering the city of Liverpool, and covers eastern parts of the city.
While the Conservatives have fared badly in the new Wavertree constituency (polling under 7% in the 2005 general election), it is perhaps not a fair comparison, as the new constituency covers a different area, with more inner-city areas.

Many of my constituents who travel back and forth from south Wales and west Wales will be very concerned to maintain the current investment and will be surprised that, on a day when the Opposition have called for a debate on this important subject, they are failing to guarantee that that investment will continue.
Member for Westmorland and Lonsdale acknowledged, many of our road and rail problems stem from the fact that for 30 or 40 years, unlike most other European countries, we have not experienced a consistently high level of spending.
Member for Westmorland and Lonsdale went on to say that not a square metre of road was built in 2001.

 Guardian Unlimited: Election 2005
It is too early to calculate how a Westminster parliament would look on the basis of Thursday’s nights results if it was elected by PR — but campaigners say that Mr Blair’s 2001 majority of 166 would have been reduced to 80 if an alternative vote system had been in place.
Michael Howard uses his 4.20am acceptance speech in his Folkestone and Hythe constituency to effectively concede the election to Labour and Tony Blair, saying it "looks as if" Labour have gained an historic third term.
Not that startling an observation; as he took to the stage Labour were standing at 320 seats - just four short of a majority - and as he left it, Labour were on 323, just one short (and by the time this post was finished, they had made finishing line).
