Hampshire set for another Lib Dem gain?
February 18, 2006 9:04 PM
Liberal Democrats scored a stunning by-election victory in Dunfermline recently - election success that could be repeated in Hampshire.
Hampshire voters will have an extra MP representing them in parliament after the next election and the signs are it could well be a Liberal Democrat.
Boundary changes mean that a new constituency - Meon Valley - will be created in the county and a new independent report says less than 2,000 votes separate the Lib Dems and the Conservatives in the area.
The report by Anthony Wells says the result in Meon Valley last May would have been:
Conservatives 21,568
Lib Dems 19,619
Labour 4,944
That is likely to make the area a key battleground between the Liberal Democrats and the Tories at the next election.
