For the first time in my voting life i consider that i live in a marginal seat at the forthcoming election,sitting Labour M/P Charlotte Atkins is defending a majority of 2,400 in which before 1997 the Tories had held safely for 27 years. For once my vote might count ! :shrug: :wave:

Probably. A 3% swing from labour to the conservatives will see a new MP in my constituency.

Anyone who lives in Hove or Brighton Kemp Town is in a 'marginal'.

And Brighton Pavilion - I bet that will be the closest of the three local seats.

I remember when Brighton Kemp Town went to Labour with a handful of votes.

Gloucester had a Labour majority of almost 13% (4271) at the last election, with the Lib Dems miles behind, the Tories will have to work hard to overcome that as the incumbent is fairly popular locally but they will probably consider it a key target if they are to get a clear majority in Parliament.

My local seat is down with the bookies as 250-1 ON being a Labour win. Is that marginal enough? :)

What so Leppers 5030 majority and now Fancy Pants being only third favorite doesn't constitute a Pavilion being a marginal then?facepalm:

Ah, yes, I remember you, the Political Correspondent for Daily Gobshite - Tim 'If It Ain't About Me, It's Not Worth Writing' Hodges.

I had no idea my publisher had released my autobiography so quickly.
