| Given that in 1997 tactical voting failed to displace the Conservative candidate who won comfortably, it suggests that this seat is likely to remain resolutely Tory. |

| This seat held by the Liberals for many years, however that seems to have been a personal vote for the then MP, Clement Freud. He lost narrowly to the Tories in 1987, and in 1992, when he didn't stand, the seat reverted dramatically to what it had been before the by-election in which Freud first won (in 1973?): a safe Tory seat. It is likely that it will remain Tory at this coming election, unless there is a strong drive to tactical anti-Tory voting. But that is unlikely given that there is no obvious challenger. |
