HistoryEdit
When created in 1918 the constituency was carved out of the west of the abolished seat Wandsworth. The rest of the latter formed Wandsworth Central, Balham and Tooting and Streatham. Putney formed one of the divisions of the Parliamentary Borough of Wandsworth.
- Political history
The seat was Conservative until 1964, eschewing the Liberal Party in 1918 and the Labour marginal wins in the 1920s and landslide victory in 1945 and narrower win in 1950. The fairly narrow Heath ministry win of 1970 failed to tip the seat back to the Conservative Party, seeing instead 14 years of unbroken Labour party representation, by Hugh Jenkins.
Putney was next held by Conservative Secretary of State for National Heritage David Mellor from 1979 until 1997 during the party's national administrations; the 1997 Labour landslide saw Putney gained by Tony Colman (Lab) and a signal early-declared result as the landslide unfolded.[n 2]
Putney was the first Conservative gain on election night in 2005, when Justine Greening took back the seat from Labour on a two-party swing (Lab-Con) of 6.5%. The 2015 result gave the seat the 148th most marginal majority of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority, similar to the 2010 result.[2] The 2017 election saw Greening re-elected, but with a 10% swing to Labour; this heavy swing against the Conservatives has been attributed to the fact that the Borough of Wandsworth (of which Putney is part) voted 75% in favour of remaining in the European Union in the previous year's referendum.
Constituency profileEdit
Putney has long had many desirable properties of South-West London[3] with Southfields to the south and the River Thames to the north with Fulham lying across the river.
The majority of the area as in the 19th century is covered by mid-to-high income neighbourhoods[4] whereas the eastern boundary of the seat eating into Wandsworth town centre is more mixed, and Roehampton which has its University (University of Roehampton and part of the Kingston University campus) consists of, in terms of housing, by a small majority, a diverse council stock that owing to its cost has only fractionally been acquired under the Right to Buy — much of this ward remains in one form or another reliant on social housing.[4]
The local council is not a bellwether of who will win the Putney seat, and for a considerable time has imposed the lowest council tax in the country.[5] Between 1997 and 2005 Putney had a unique attribute of being the only seat in the country where every single component ward elected a full slate of Conservative councillors, yet the constituency had a Labour MP, Tony Colman.
In the 2016 EU Referendum, Putney voted 72.24% to Remain.[6]
