| With a hefty 9,000 majority, a strong local record, a high party profile and a long tenure, Don Foster will almost certainly hold Bath, one of the party's high-profile gains in 1992. |

| Bath will be a LibDem hold but possibly with a reduced majority. The Conservatives (and Labour to some extent) are a challenge. |

| I think JR has mistakenly given a prediction for Torbay instead of Bath. With a near 10,000 majority and a high media profile (for a Lib Dem) Don Foster will have no problems. |

| JL's remarks about firearms suggest s/he has Torbay not Bath in mind! This should be a safe hold for Don Foster and the Lib Dems, even without the widely-predicted Tory meltdown. Foster is an effective performer who should retain tactical Labour votes in what is a more mixed city than the postcards portray. |
