Muslim vote is splitting 32% Clegg, 17% Brown and 6% Cameron for best Prime Minister. Leicester South is the #12 constituency in the UK for Muslim population - about 8,000 people living there. Should be enough to dispel any doubt that the LDs will take this one. |

An easy pick-up for the Lib Dems, with their surging fortunes following the TV debates. Lib dem target #28, won by them in a by-election in 2004, although lost in the 2005 general election. However, national numbers are radically different now. However, Labour candidate has no expense scandal baggage, and bookies make a Labour a slight favourite! Ladbrokes: Lab 4/7, LD 5/4 I can't believe Labour will hold onto this, regardless of the quality of their candidate. LD gain. |

The Lib Dems are polling up 12% on 2005, and Labour are down 14%. This seat is in the top 30 Lib Dem targets, and needs a swing that is less than half the current swing estimated by the polls. This is going LD. |
