To be precise, it was Tory-held from 1983 to 1997.

As a resident of Norwich North I just comfort myself that with 55 per cent 
of eligible voters not voting and 60 per cent of those who did vote voting 
for someone else Miss Smith won on the basis of  only one in five of the 
over 18's of the constituency actually supporting her. Its got to give hope 
of her replacement at some stage in the future. As a 63 year old I just hope 
it is in my lifetime not hers!

On this basis, for example, 82 per cent of those voting voted for someone 
other than the Labour candidate.

Who would you replace her with? I thought she seemed rather nice.

Sadly, 99.9 percent of those voting voted for someone other than the 
Libertarian candidate ...
