    Many predicted a Labour majority of 6000 + here, believing this to be a fluke in 2005 (29% notional Labour majority in 2001).

    Lib Dems did well here to remain so close.

    This seat is now much more marginal than East Renfrewshire, Stirling and Dumfries & Galloway.

    Lib dems are in trouble here

    Reality is that there is a working class / middle class Lab alliance. There is an educated, loyal, middle class Labour vote which works in public sector and knows which side its bread is buttered.

    Labour actually increased majority despite the Libs blowing quarter of a million on junk mail in an attempt to buy the seat.

    A large proportion of the Lib vote here is a soft left vote plus disillusioned Lab who voted Lib here – not that the mask has slipped these Lib voters are totally aghast at Tory coalition.

    ConDems are toast next time.

    The electorate here is only 51,411. That’s a decline of 4,000 since the 2005 election.
