Liverpool, Wavertree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (259 words)
Liverpool Wavertree is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
An earlier Liverpool Wavertree constituency existed until 1983; this seat was a safe Conservative seat.
While the Conservatives have fared badly in the new Wavertree constituency (polling under 7% in the 2005 general election), it is perhaps not a fair comparison, as the new constituency covers a different area, with more inner-city areas.
