November 5, 20195 yr Here are the 10 most marrginal seats in the UK. No famous names there. 1 Fermanagh and South Tyrone Michelle Gildernew Sinn Féin Independent 4 0.2 Hampstead and Kilburn Glenda Jackson Labour Conservative 42 0.1% 3 North Warwickshire Daniel Byles Conservative Labour 54 0.1% 4 Camborne and Redruth George Eustice Conservative Liberal Democrat 66 0.2% 5 Bolton West Julie Hilling Labour Conservative 92 0.2% 5 Thurrock Jackie Doyle-Price Conservative Labour 92 0.2% 7 Oldham East and Saddleworth* Phil Woolas Labour Liberal Democrat 103 0.2% 8 Hendon Matthew Offord Conservative Labour 106 0.2% 9 Sheffield Central Paul Blomfield Labour Liberal Democrat 165 0.4% 10 Solihull Lorely Burt Liberal Democrat Conservative 175 0.3% That's a very old list - I know because I remember Michelle Gildernew winning her seat by 4 votes in 2010, was a bit of a big deal round these parts. And Glenda Jackson is a very famous name, not just for politics.
November 5, 20195 yr Author That's a very old list - I know because I remember Michelle Gildernew winning her seat by 4 votes in 2010, was a bit of a big deal round these parts. And Glenda Jackson is a very famous name, not just for politics. Yes sorry, didn't notice her. Also didn't notice it's from the 2010 election. :( Edited November 5, 20195 yr by Freddie Kruger
November 6, 20195 yr The current seat with the closest margin is the one I’m voting in!! 2 vote margin in North East Fife between the SNP and the unionist tactically voting boosted Lib Dems

November 6, 20195 yr That is helpful, thanks. Definitely think it's not going to be a clean sweep for the Cons in Cornwall again, I was very surprised they retained St. Ives last time, I reckon that and Cornwall North will go LD with the other 4 staying Con (and unfortunately that includes the three worst Tories out of the 6, and the fourth, mine, has stepped down so will probably be a new right-wing recruit :/) Meanwhile it was the highlight of the 2017 night when Canterbury turned red but I can see that and a fair bit of that list going back to blue. Finding it a little hard to imagine many of those Labour targets coming through as much as I'd love to see Hastings & Rye and Chipping Barnet be among the scalps claimed in a good night.
November 6, 20195 yr Lib Dems vote increases in Labour-Tory marginals - even if it's as little as 3-5% in very Lib Dem-unfriendly areas like Stoke - will likely cost Labour a large number of seats. Edited November 6, 20195 yr by Harve
November 6, 20195 yr It's possible, but sadly I don't think he will. If the Tories were worried about polling in the constituency they would have parachuted him into a safer seat by now don't you think?
