Very tough to call - will Kaufman's name get him past the expense scandal issues and the LD surge? The LDs would almost certainly beat anyone else. One for nearer the day. Ladbrokes: Lab 8/15 LD 11/8 Others 100/1 |

| The Liberal Democrats have a strong local government power base, and the Labour encumbant had a rough time through the expenses scandal (something to do with persian rugs). |
