| With a massive 21,000 majority, it would be a bit of a shock if Labour didn't hold Sheffield Atercliffe. However it will be interesting to see what happens to the Lib Dems and the Tories. The Tories were in a reasonably good position here in 1992, but almost lost second place to the Lib Dems in 1997. Since then, things have not really picked up for them at local elections. The Lib Dems, meanwhile, have been pretty successful, winning control of Sheffield Ciy Council, and it will be interesting to see whether they manage to consolidate and build upon their placing last time (they actually saw their vote increase here in 1997 - fairly rare in an inner city seat where they didn't do that badly in 1992). |
