| Tactical voting and Tory absentions appeared to hit this constituency hard in 1997; not only did the turnout drop by about 5,000 [Tory voters staying at home?] but tactical voting seemed to have influenced the result here in 1997 with the Liberal Democrat share of the vote dropping substantially. If the Tories have a good campaign here there's the chance they could retake the seat, though it depends on whether tactical voting occurs again. If not then it should not be too difficult, if so then the Tories run the very serious risk of failing to take the seat. |

| Trends suggest that the Tories run the very serious risk of failing to take the seat. Pudsey's the Leeds/Bradford version of London's Metroland Labour seats. |
