Not sure if the mapping for Brexit votes per constituency maps with the Party voting in a General/By-election. Not sure if we will ever know, as in my case, we only got results for Leeds as a whole, not by constituency.
Some die-hard Tories were Remainers, and would never vote Labour, and some die-hard Labourites voted to Leave, but would never vote Tory.
Anyhoo, I always believed that the MP should represent all of their constituency, not just the people that voted for them.
