UK 2005- Seat by Seat Part 6 (South)

[Silent Hunter]

6 Liberal MPs down here. This is one of the LDs strongest areas, 2nd placing in many of the Conservative constituencies and Labour's worst, dropping below 10% in many areas.

Many of the Tories have big majorities and won't be going anytime soon.

I reckon that the Tories take Guildford but lose Surrey SW. Also, I think Maidenhead could cut awfully close, but that women will still hold on to it unfortunateyl.

Tories are running a black candidate in Windsor. As much as I hate saying it, we could be seeing Cheltenham 92 all over again...

Maidenhead and Windsor will both be very close and might go either way. (see Al's comment)
