| Hardline rightwinger John Wilkinson - who caused his own government no end of trouble as one of the hard core Euro-sceptic rebels who dogged John Major's premiership - won by 8000 here even in 1997, when the Tories did particularly badly in London. If you exclude the possibility of a byelection in the midterm of a Tory Government (and there isn't likely to be one of them in the near future) it is hard to see the circumstances in which this seat would be anything other than Tory. |
