Wolverhampton North East was notable in the 1987 general election for being one of only a small number of seats that the Conservatives gained from Labour. It reverted to type, however, at the 1992 general election, when the Labour MP Ken Purchase first took office. It is one of the 'traditional' Labour seats that elected a Conservative MP at the 2019 general election, helping Prime Minister Boris Johnson achieve a majority of 80.Elections
