With an 18,000 majority, it would take an electoral earthquake to unseat Labour here, certainly this time round. However, it will be interesting to see who wins second place here. The Lib Dems will be in a reasonably strong position, capitalising on their strong showing in the Leeds Central by-election and the general trend towards them in Northern cities like Sheffield, Newcastle and Liverpool. However, the Tories are probably still strong enough in parts of Leeds to fight off the Liberal challenge. All the same an interesting match in an otherwise safe Labour seat. |
