Of his Lib Dem colleagues, David Rendel is probably one of the safer. With a reasonably comfortable majority, a tiny Labour vote (that actually fell in 1997 - indicating a good effort at squeezing the tactical vote) and effectively two terms as an attentive local MP (Rendel won the seat from the Tories in a sensational by-election in the mid 90s), he stands a very good chance of holding on this time round. |

Although David Rendel has established a firm reputation as a hard working MP, the Conservatives are working hard to win back Newbury. Labour voters will need to vote tactically to ensure that William HAgue's Tories are beaten again. |

From what I can make out, David Rendell hardly has it in the bag. Benyon seems to be making substantial ground. This seat is very much too close to call. |

On Garden Posters it is clear that David Rendel has the lead on the Tory. LAbour are nowhere to be seen |

Newbury ought to have been one of those midterm Lib Dem freaks that'd bounce quickly back to Tory form come general election time; instead, David Rendel looks set on being an unlikely local institution, a "Simon Hughes of the Right", if you will. I can't see why the constituents'd even *bother* going back to Berks'n'Bucks'n'Wilts Tory form this time... |
