Labour benefited here from a slip in Conservatives popularity in 1997. The current government has only improve their support in ridings such as this. The Conservative may not be able to count on winning back their previous supporters, giving this one to Labour. |

Labour win continues tradition begun in Coupon Election of 1918. Forest of Dean is a famous seat in British parliamentary history, once held by Charles Dilke, a Liberal highflyer on Gladstone's front bench until his political career was derailed by his (perhaps innocent)involvement in one of the juiciest sex scandals of late Victorian England. The current incumbent, new Labour loyalist Diana Organ, is less notorius but nearly as high-profile. |
