Tiverton and Honiton was one of those South West seats that the Lib Dems narrowly missed out on in the 1997 General Election. Since then, local and European elections haven't been all that encouraging and with such a small Labour vote to squeeze (just 12% - only rising 1% on 1992), the Lib Dems will do well to wrestle this seat from the Tories on election night. With such a close result in 1997, however, the Lib Dems chances cannot to be written off. Tiverton and Honiton Tories may still be in for a bit of a shock on June 7th. |

Likely Tory hold here. There's not much Labour vote left to squeeze, and the Lib Dems did very poorly in the Euro elections in this seat. Their big chance was in 1997....can't see them taking the seat this time. |

Angela Browning is an accompished and respected MP and the results of the 97 poll in this constituency are an abberation due to the Labour sweep. She will win comfortably here this time around. As an earlier correspondent has said, the LibDems had their chance here in 1997, but failed. |
