| Labour's result was huge last time. The Conservatives aren't doing well enough to win, and Labour has done a reasonable enough job to hold most of their seats. Based on the last electoral result, Labour should hold this one easily. |

| Too close to call. In theory, Labour should hold it quite comfortably. However, the Conservatives have performed very strongly in local elections, winning control of the local council in 2000, and outpolling Labour in the European elections. Given the depth of euroscepticism in port towns generally, the Conservatives should run Labour very close here. |
