| Kensington and Chelsea is a hard-line Conservative seat containing the wealthiest areas of London - Sloane Square, Kings Road, Kensington High Street. Michael Portillo held the seat in a by-election in 1999 when the Tories were doing badly and the Conservatives hold all but one of the local council wards. In 1997 Portillo's defeat was the highlight of the evening for many Labour supporters, but it won't happen again in Portillo's new stronghold. |

| Kensington and Chelsea is THE safest Conservative seat in Great Britain. A loss here would mean the total annihilation of the Conservative Party. Michael Portillo will have absolutely no difficulty winning here at all. Practically anyone could run as a Tory here and be elected. |
