| I suppose that this is still technically a marginal, but I imagine that the '97 results will basically be repeated this time. |

| An erstwhile Tory-inclined SW corner for Greater Birmingham; while Labour earned a fair cushion in '97, there are Edgbastonian murmurs of determined Tory takeback targeting hereabouts. (An above-average-for-the-area 1997 Lib Dem figure also alludes to the latent Toryism, much as it does in London seats such as Harrow West and Wimbledon.) The prospect of a double-barrelled Blair Babe takedown hereabouts (Debra Shipley here, Gisela Stuart in Edgbaston--it'd be triple-barreled if not for Jenny Jones' premature withdrawal from Wolverhampton SW) must have Tory Brummies feeling covetous, even if in a faint-hope sort of way... |
