| Based on previous election results, this seat is too close to call. Labour won this seat by a little more than 4% of the vote. The Conservatives won this seat in 1992 by a large number of votes. The Tories probably lost this vote as a protest against their previous government. They should be able to regain some lost support, but is it enough? To Early to tell. |

| Derek Wyatt, the Labour MP since 1997 has worked very hard for the local community and has maintained a very high profile locally and nationally. Adrian Lee, the Conservative candidate, despite being highly competant, is fairly young and has not made a great impression on the local community. We cannot yet write off Lee's chances of winning as the Labour majority is only 2000. I would say the chances are 50:50 here. |
