| This seat is too close to call, and is contest between LibDems and Conservatives. Labour is not a factor in this seat. I would give the advantage to the Conservatives because they currently hold it, but still too close to call. |

| Despite the poor showing of the Tories in recent national opinion polls and generally strong support for the Liberal Democrats in this part of the country, there was strong support for the Referendum Party in 1997 in this constituency and we can expect many of these voters to vote Conservative this time. There simply isn't enough Labour vote left to squeeze here, so it looks likely that Robert Walter will keep his seat. |

| Not the likeliest seat to fall to the Lib Dems, I agree. But seeing as Billy Bragg has turned Dorset into the world centre of tactical voting... |
