Party canvassers would be surprised if constituency that has voted Conservative since 1950 changed hands
Tory campaigners are confident the party will hold Old Bexley and Sidcup – the first in a series of closely watched parliamentary byelections – as polling stations close in the south London suburban seat.
Canvassers who spent the day trying to “get out the vote” said they expected the seat that has voted Conservative since 1950 to stay blue, though admitted some voters expressed dissatisfaction with Boris Johnson.
