This will probably be a Tory hold on the night but the element of tactical voting cannot be discounted, not while memories of the Lib Dems by-election victory here back in the early 90s linger. With a large-ish and unstable Labour vote to squeeze, there is just a chance that Lib Dem Mike Carr (who will gain votes for staying power alone) will pull it off this time. That he didn't manage it last time doesn't bode that well but it's safer to say that the Ribble Valley is just a little bit too close to call this time round. |
