| If half the Labour vote goes Lib-Dem, then it is a neck and neck fight between the Lib-Dems and Conservatives. Good local council presence over the last few years helped halve Tory malority last time. This time I back the Lib-Dems to snatch it! |

| It looks as if the Lib Dems could do it. They have built on their strong local govt. base by selecting high profile Paul Elgood as their candidate. Mr Elgood is regularly featured in the Argus and is an energetic campaigner who gets lots of coverage, the Labour activists appear to have decamped into neighbouring Hove. This leaves the Lib Dems to mop up the anti-Tory vote. |

| And another corrective to Lib Dem overexuberance--though it *is* the Lib Dems' best chance in West Sussex and, to be honest, there's something king of nice about LD having a West Sussex seat for a change. But how willing are Blair-besotted Labour voters to step centreward? |
