Constituency Profile
Located just beyond the boundaries of Greater London and with fast railway lines into the capital, Hertsmere is typically middle-class commuter territory, similar to the type of constituency found in Surrey and Buckinghamshire.
The Aldenham East ward, assessed as the least deprived out of 8414 in England in IMD2000, is located in the seat, and although there are some Labour-voting areas in Borehamwood, the seat is solidly Tory, even in Labour landslide years.

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or profile:
“Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Actor: Electrician, a little more this way with that spotlight. What are you trying to do, ruin my profile?
Electrician: Your profile was ruined the day you were born.”
—James Gleason (1886–1959)
