The general election in Foyle is again likely to be a two-way battle between the SDLP and Sinn Féin.
The SDLP has represented Foyle at Westminster in all but two years of its 41-year history as a parliamentary constituency.Foyle MP, and SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood will face off against Sinn Féin's Sandra Duffy for the seat.
That was an 18% swing in its direction. Mr Eastwood had previously faced criticism for leading the party from Westminister, but in 2019 he benefitted from a strong anti-Brexit vote and tactical voting by unionists to keep Sinn Féin out.What’s different from 2019? She believes Sinn Féin has a powerful mandate for change given its electoral strength and that every vote matters in what could be a tight race.Yes and no. Foyle is now losing the villages of Eglinton and Claudy, as well as Ardmore on the outskirts of Derry.
She believes the boundary changes could affect her vote but benefit the party in the neighbouring East Londonderry constituency. Mr Middleton, who acknowledges it would be quite the story if his wife gives birth in the next few weeks, says while he's not going to win the Foyle seat it's important for unionists to come out and vote for a candidate like him.
