A false start to the race |
| In a briefing to journalists, the CRE said it had circulated copies of the agreement for individual MPs to sign. Less than a third of Tories had done so, compared with 60 per cent of Labour MPs. Only three MPs, all Conservatives, had refused to sign on principle: they were James Cran, a whip, Eric Forth, a maverick Right-winger, and John Townend, the retiring MP who caused a storm by claiming that immigrants were undermining Britian's "homogeneous Anglo-Saxon society". |

| Eric Forth is in danger of becoming a cult figure in the Commons, if not the nation at large what with his ruthless chopping down of Private Members Bills, and the CRE race furore. What he is not in danger of is losing this seat, which in 1997 was a merger of the old Chislehurst and Ravensbourne seats (both safely Tory). I predict an increase in his already rock solid majority. |

| Eric Forth has proven to be a good constituency MP in what is one of only a few true blue Tory seats in Greater London. He should have no difficulties in being re-elected, probably with an even bigger majority. |
