BOSWORTH

Bosworth as a seat has only changed slightly gaining two wards from the neighbouring seat of Charnwood. It will come of no surprise that the two wards put into Bosworth are of favour to the Labour party as this is target seat 47 for them. In 1997 when Labour was at their height they were only a few hundred votes behind the Tories this has since increased but the Labour party have done everything they can to tip the scales in their own favour.
