| This will be a very close call, but on balance Labour should manage to hold with a reduced majority. They won for the first time in 1997, since when John Grogan has been a very assiduous Constituency MP, enjoying a high profile due to the floods and the Great Heck rail crash. The Tories may well lose some votes as the result of the entry of a UKIP candidate. The Lib Dems' impact could largely determine the result : they have pledged no pacts or deals, and will campaign on a positive pro-European platform which will ensure UKIP enter the debate and that the Labour and Tory candidates need to define their positions. Finally, the entry of a Green candidate will further confuse the issue, as she may syphon some support from Labour and perhaps Lib Dem in an area with specific environmental concerns. Definitely one to watch! |
