| The '92 results might give some cause for doubt, but I strongly suspect that Jenkins will win again by a fairly convincing margin. |

| Like Basingstoke, Tamworth's one of those places with a New Townishness regardless of its New Town status or lack thereof--fair Labour-bait formula around these parts. Jenkins gained the predecessor seat on a typical Major-era monster byelection swing, and then held Tamworth by a more orthodox if still healthy general-election margin over the widow of the Tory MP he replaced. It remains on the broad Tory target cards, but the possibilities now look more vague than Hague... |
