| A recent article in the Guardian looked at the electoral prospects of a number of sample seats up and down the country including Kettering. The Labour incumbent is extremely vulnerable to a small Tory revival but private polling appears to suggest that currently Labour is just ahead of the Tories in terms of intentions to vote with all three parties roughly where they were in 1997. Although Kettering should be a relatively easy win for the Tories,it is beginning to look as though it will be a lot tougher than they might like to think. |

| Kettering is a top Conservative target and the Tories need only a small swing to regain this seat. Look for them to regain Kettering in 7 June. |

| I agree with NG, this seat could be a lot closer than it first appears. Obviously it looks like an easy Tory gain but every nespaper report has found the seat to be neck and neck between the two. Secondly, there is still some room for tactical voting by the Lib Dems and the Tories are concentrating all of their energies on marginals with bigger majorities to overturn, apparently the top 30 "simplest" targets to regain are being left largely to the local parties. Could be interesting. |

| There's a kind of poetic justice to Kettering--a sort of English "everyville" epitome a la Muncie Indiana--being the locus of everybody's fave Lab-C marginal. If Phil Sawford loses, maybe he should write a book about his term in office... |
