But heh that little fact ruins the fantasy.

The new constituency took electoral wards from Ryedale and Vale of York.The electoral wards used in the new constituency are: The entire district of Ryedale, The Scarborough wards of Filey and Hertford,
the Hambleton wards of Easingwold, Helperby, Huby with Sutton, Shipton, Sowerby, Stillington, Thirsk, Thorntons, Tollerton, Topcliffe, White Horse, and Whitestonecliffe.
