| A key marginal seat that normally goes with the national tide, so should stay Labour. However the asylum seeker issue is big in this major port - the Tories on the local Kent County Council made national headlines when they blamed asylum seekers after they jacked up the Council Tax. With the Tories unashamedly playing the race card it could be a close call, I wouldn't envisage another 12000 Labour majority. |
