Before 1997, Labour had never won Harrow West and the very thought that they would seemed quite ridiculous. But won it they did. Since then, its been rather mixed for them with a narrow lead in the 1998 local elections but about eight points adrift of the Tories in 1999 (albeit, comparatively speaking, not a remarkably strong result for the Tories in a marginal). In theory, this should be an easy Tory gain but the electoral evidence of the last few years suggests it will not be straightforward. It will be a tight contest. |
