Michael Portillo is not my MP!
Paying council tax to Kensington and Chelsea council, having a parking permit from them, being a member of Kensington and Chelsea Conservatives, all led me to believe that I lived in the Kensington and Chelsea parliamentary constituency. But I never actually checked it.Now I have, and I don't. I live in the Colville ward of Kensington and Chelsea, which actually is in the Regent's Park and North Kensington constituency, whose MP is in fact Labour, and called Karen Buck.
This made me panic slightly. My brave stance in voting Conservative didn't really matter, as the Conservatives always win Kensington and Chelsea. But what of Regent's Park and North Kensington? Well at the last election the Labour majority was 10,266, so pretty safe. However in 1992 it was only 4,000 or so, and before then it was a Tory seat....
