| This is a very safe Conservative seat in which they amazingly failed to poll 50% in 1997. The Tory MP is Ian Taylor, one of the rare pro-European ?Conservatives left and a centrist voice on other issues. Anti-European voters may be more tempted here by the UKIP than in other seats, but Taylor is in a better position to maintain and recover support from Labour and the Liberal Democrats and ensure his version of Conservatism survives. Esher and Walton are commuter towns in Surrey, south west of London and dependent on the South West Trains line into Waterloo. |

| I kind of wonder if seats like this would have swung Lib Dem in '97 but for being on the wrong, er, "right" side of the Surrey-London divide... |
