| Woking saw the third worst drop in the Conservative vote between 1992 and 1997 (only the very unusual seats of North Down and Tatton had worse collapses) but Humfrey Malins (MP for Croydon NW 1983-92) won anyway with 38.4% of the vote. Part of the reason for the collapse was a dissident Tory candidate who polled 7.7% (and the Referendum Party and UKIP got 5.3% more between them). Neither Liberal Democrats nor Labour seem willing to concede their centres of support, and Malins has a pool of right wing voters disaffected in 1997 to fish in. |
