The situation of voting for Surrey this year


This item was initially set out on 2nd June, but subsequently there have been a number of changes on the Wikipedia publication so this item has been changed most recently on 4th June.It is amazing that the 11 Surrey MP locations have only 5 Conservatives and the 6 Liberal Democrats that involve Epsom & Ewell, Surrey Heath, Woking, Elmbridge (listed as Esher & Welton) and Guildford!

A few days ago I reflected on the situation of the voting for Sussex where I live and I reflected on the current Labour and Green situations we have and the dominant aspect of Conservative. On the following day I focused on the prospects for Liberal Democrats that could be successful and increases for the Labour potential. Then yesterday I checked on the situation of Kent which does have a Labour MP and the rest are Conservatives but there are a few other locations that have had Labour in the past. So now reflecting on Surrey which is primarily a Conservative situation, but there have been a few settings in the past with Liberal Democrat and one case with Labour. We clearly would benefit if Green could be endorsed for both Surrey and Kent and also for possible Liberal Democrat and Labour for Surrey on this 4th July. So here is the situation in Surrey.

There are 11 MP locations in Surrey and the text is from Wikipedia.

The first five items listed here are very committed to Conservative and they have been published on Wikipedia with the next likely MPs for this July. There is East Surrey which was set out on in 1865 and it currently has Claire Coutinho who has been the MP since 2019 and she is voting again now. The Runnymede and Weybridge area was created on 1997 and on 2019 Ben Spencer was their MP and they are seeking this year. There are three cases that are obtaining new people for this year which are Reigate which was set out in 1865 and their new person is Rebecca Paul and then Epsom and Ewell was established in 1974 which now has Mhairi Fraser for this year and since 2019 and is taking place this year. There is also Reigate which was created in 1997 but interestingly their Conservative MP Crispin Blunt has become Independent recently but the new person for this year is planned to be Rebecca Paul.

There is an item called Woking that so far has not listed who the Conservative person for this year on Wikipedia. It was created in 1950 and there is a list of several people but not a Conservative person.

There is a new item that may well be Conservative controlled. This was previously from the Mole Valley that was created in 1983 and it is now called Dorking and Horley. The previous MP was Paul Beresford from 1999 to 2019 and the new Conservative person is Marisa Heath.

The second new location was previously called South West Surrey and it has now been changed to Godalming and Ash. It was previously set from 1983 and although it has always been Conservative on 2001 the difference between Liberal Democrat and Conservative was only 861 more votes that time. However currently in the new role is for Jeremy Hunt who has been significant in the previous arrangement.

There is Guildford which has been around since 1830 and they did provide a Liberal Democrat MP back in 2001 for a period. The existing Conservative MP is Angela Richardson who has been since 2019 but previously in 2017 a Liberal Democrats person Zoe Franklin began who began with less than 50% support but on 2019 Zoe raised many more supports which was within 3,337 votes to Angela. Given that Conservatives are less significant this could benefit of Liberal Democrats.

The Spelthorne location which was created on 1918 and it did benefit for a Labour MP back on 1945. This group had a significant Conservative MP since 2010 until to the last voting on 2019. However they are not standing this year and so there is a new Conservative person Lincoln Jopp and the new Labour person is Claire Tighe so it will be interested to see what response they both achieve on 4th July.

The Esher and Walton location has been in touch since 1997 and there has only been Conservative MPs so far. However back on 2019 the existing Liberal Democrat person Monica Harding was 2,743 votes lower than the Conservative MP who had been controlling since 2010. However he has removed from this year and so the new Conservative client has not voted before and Monica is trying again so it could be a radical response.

There are clearly only Liberal Democrat and Labour responses so it would be great to find a way for Green to be supportive in Surrey in the future.
