Futile The Liberal Democrats do not have a hope in NW Hants even if they have a good candidate In this constituency unemployment is very low and home ownership is high all of which helps Labour and the Conservatives who were the top two parties in the constituency in  both exhibiting positive swings while the Lib Dems lost votes This is an obvious Tory hold Nevertheless good luck Mr Tod Maybe youll get to fight for a different constituency in  but by that time the Lib Dems will probably have changed their views on almost everything anyway
