| The SDP came within a whisker of taking this seat in both 1983 and 1987, but now this seat has gradually swung towards Labour. However the Lib Dems remain a force in the area and now control Islington Council - this could be one to watch next time. |

| I agree that this could provide one of the "shock" results on 7 June. As already pointed out, LibDems gained control of Islington Council in January last year - but it should be noted that they hold virtually all the wards in the southern part of the borough which comprises this constituency, winning 55% of the vote in these wards in 1998. They have a dynamic candidate and organisation, while the sitting MP may be a Minister but has not made a major impact. 7The gap may appear huge, but could very easily vanish. |

| The strong SDP showing in the 1980s was a personal vote for a former Labour MP who switched sides. However, the LDs now control the council, and this could rub off on the Westminster result and cause an LD surge. But a Labour hold is the most likely result. I do hope for a strong showing for the "Stuckist" candidate, who is protesting about modern so-called art. |
