Labour’s 1999 win in the equivalent seat, Aberdeen North, must seem a distant memory with Brian Adam now having increased his majority at every opportunity. The Lib Dems once polled 23% in Aberdeen North.
Notes: Given boundary changes since 2007, variations in votes and share between seats with different boundaries would be misleading. We use the Denver figures, essentially a calculation of the 2007 votes cast within 2011 boundaries. More information on this here.
