[edit] succession

Inasfar as the seat won't have the same boundaries as Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush, it surely won't be a successor to EASB. One expects that it will include parts of EASB and part of at least one other constituency.

[edit] timing

It would be interesting to know when the seat becomes active. Although it is probable that the next general election won't be till 2009 or 2010, it could happen sooner, or EASB could fall vacant for some other reason. If a bye-election were required or if Mr Brown went to the country, which seat would be contended? EASB or EC&A?

[edit] marginality

The Wikipedia page on the London Assembly refers to this seat as marginal.

Very marginal, and a three-way. Only really Watford can boast equal three-way marginality. Notional 2005:
Labour 12,944 (33.35%)
Conservative 12,105 (31.19%)
Liberal Democrat 11,883 (30.62%)
Green 1,869 (4.81%)
