Winchester CityThis Hampshire cathedral city, the ancient capital of England, has a largely Conservative background but now the constituency would seem, fairly firmly in the hands of the Liberal Democrats. At the last election, the party secured a majority of nearly 7,500 over the Conservatives. The Lib Dems won the seat in 1997 with a majority of two over the Tories. This was challenged in court and the result declared invalid. At the ""repeat"" election, the Lib Dems won by a huge 21,000 lead. The seat is remarkable for producing one of the lowest votes for Labour in Britain. The present incumbent, Mark Oaten, is not fighting the seat this time.
