| North Norfolk will be a tight contest. The Tories are defending a slimish majority and the Lib Dems under the popular and well-known Norman Lamb will be banking on squeezing Labour votes. But then again, Labour's vote appears pretty resilient and it will require real pressure to convince voters to switch. Whether the Lib Dems can do that this time remains to be seen. |

| Result down to how many Labour voters will swtich to oust William Hague's right hand man - David Prior. Norman Lamb will pull it off if he gets the tactical votes. |

| This is one of the very few seats that the Conservatives may lose at the coming election. David Prior's case will not be helped by the fact that as Deputy Chairman of his party he has to spend a disproportionate amount of time at Conservative Central Office in London, whilst his Lib Dem opponent - who is standing here for the third time running - can busy himself in the constituency. Furthermore, Labour's activists here are most likely to be shipped across to neighbouring Norfolk North West where they are defending a slim majority: this will allow the Lib Dems more of an opportunity than elsewhere to tap into their support. |

Hague still upbeat in the face of poll gloom
However, he knows that a number of existing Tory seats are in danger and that the more gloomy extrapolation of the party's data would be gains of only 20-30 seats - a Labour majority of around 120. Tories whose seats are most at risk include David Prior, the deputy chairman and chief executive |

| This is a clear Lib Dem gain, despite Labour's resiliance and the Greens putting up a reasonably well-known candidate (the Euro candidate in the year the Greens scored well). Norman is well-known locally, has momentum behind him, and will be aided by the defection of the moderate Tory Paul Howell, ex-MEP and son of the former MP for the seat, to the Lib Dems. |
