I think that Labour could win here, they have fought a very good campaign and are in touch with local issues, their candidate is quite well known and is well liked. He is prepared to speak his mind and doesn't always follow the party line (he is opposed to IR35). If enough Lib Dem voters vote tactically then we could a Labour MP here. |

Unless the Liberal vote collapses completely, the Tories should be able to hold this seat. Labour is too far behind, based on last election results, in North East Bedfordshire to win the seat. Tory hold. |

Although Labour managed to increase it share of the vote in this area last time, it has not fared so well in local elections. As a labour activist, I would love to think that we could win here, but in reality, we won't. |

Interesting this time round. The NE Beds seat is strong rural, and should once again be a safe tory seat, however Ross is a good candidate, and there is a chance of a tactical Lib Dem vote towards Labour. |
