| The Tories lost too much ground in Ipswich last time to win this seat this time. Labour should hold this seat come election night. |

| Since 1970, Ipswich has consistently produced swings which are lower than average (Oct.1974:1983:1992) or against the national trend (Feb 1974:1979:1987) In 1997 the swing was almost identical to the national. The Liberals are weak here. Labour has controlled Ipswich District Council for over twenty years. The Suffolk people are a (c)onservative people, not given to volatile behaviour of any type. With the opinion polls now showing as they are, it is inconceivable that the Conservatives can fashion the 10.8% swing they would need to take the seat. |
