Since 1992, the same locally leading two parties' candidates who were fielded (varying at different times) have won at least 23.4% of the vote each; the candidate of the Labour Party has fluctuated between 5.8% and 15.2% of share of the vote, coming in third in every election until 2024, when their candidate was passed in vote share by that of Reform UK.
