Another of those complex three-way marginals with all three parties within 10 per cent of one another. The Tories will be hoping to build on their 1999 European election success to unseat Candy Atherton who does not start on particularly strong ground. The Lib Dems, despite their strength in the South West, may have peaked and will suffer from not having their well-known perennial candidate Terrye Jones this time round. But will enough disgruntled Labour votes go to the Lib Dems to ensure a shock win to complete their set of Cornwall seats or will the Tories' revival be strong enough to let them back in here ... a three-way contest with no clear winner. |

Mebyon Kernow will prevail in shock victory for resurgent Cornish national cause. (Actually not, but if it DOES happen, you heard it here first!) |

Tin mining may be gone from Redruth-Camborne, but it bequeathed the only real pocket of Cornish Labour strength (their seat before 1970), somewhat compressed over recent decades by deindustrialization and the lasting effect of the South West's C-L(D) electoral juggernaut. As a result, while Labour's fortunes have revived enough to take back the seat, they haven't revived enough to take this out of the very blurry 3-way-and-lessers category F&C has lately sunken into--even the great Olympian Sebastian Coe couldn't crest 40% for the slow-fade Tories in '92 (and he lost in '97, natch). Look for further blur, or even a rare Lib-Lab marginal situation that isn't Rochford, Oldham East, Chesterfield, Yardley, etc... |
