Will Amey Trees Rampage Cost Paul Blomfield Sheffield Central Labour Seat, Green Win?

ElectionOracle / UK General Election Jun 07, 2017 - 04:01 PM GMT

The Green Party are fielding their party leader Natalie Bennett in the Sheffield Central constituency hoping to unseat Paul Blomfield from what has been a rock solid Labour seat since 1945, to whom the Labour baton was passed in 2010 from Richard Caborn. The Green party are eager to capitalise on local issues such as the felling of thousands of Sheffied's big and beautiful trees by the Spanish Ferrovial Family owned Amey as part of a £2 billion PFI outsourcing contract by Labour Sheffield City Council that has angered and outraged many tens of thousands of Sheffielders, prompting dozens of campaign groups to spring up that will likely play a major role in the oucome of the next 2018 local elections.


Watch the following video for a taste of Sheffield's Tree's issue's and the Labour city council and MP's blind disregard for what's best for the people of Sheffield.

So will Labour Paul Blomfield Lose Sheffield Central to Green Party Natalie Benefit at the June 8th election?

Sheffield Central (2015)

Labour Paul Blomfield 24308 55%
Green Party Jillian Creasy 6999 15.8%
Conservative Stephanie Roe 4917 11.1%
Liberal Democrat Joe Otten 4278 9.7%
       

 

Whilst the Green Party did place second at the 2015 General Election, and are likely to improve their poll standing in the wake of Amey's Tree's rampage. However the gap between Labour and the Green Party is as huge 40%! It would require a swing from Labour to the Green Party of 20% to unseat Paul Blomfield which is just not going to happen!

So yes, the Green Party will improve their standing by increasing their share of the vote by 5%, to 20%. However that will barely make a dent in Labour's huge polls lead. Therefore Paul Blomfield is destined tohold on to Sheffield Central as a Labour heartland seat that will likely take several more decades of Green party campaigning before they have any real chance of unseating a Labour MP. Though Amey / Sheffield City Council has accelerated that process.

For the more on the prospects for Paul Blomfield and Sheffield's other Labour MP's watch the following video.
