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:
“But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can only be known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
