| Now, if the Tories make any headway in 2001 they should hang on to New Forest East which they did indeed manage to hold on to in 1997. However, it looks like the Lib Dems are campaigning quite hard in this one and, above all, are trying to squeeze a sizeable Labour vote. They only need to push it back to its 1992 levels (which is not wholly unreasonable, a 12% tactical swing) and Julian Lewis may find himself unemployed. Probably a Tory hold but a little difficult to call until we know how much tactical voting there will be this time round. |
