Middle England swayed by rootless tree

Article Abstract:

Some voters who had decided to support the UK Labour party in the forthcoming general election are now reviewing their decision, according to The Independent newspaper's group of voters in the key marginal seat of Redditch, England. There are indications that middle England voters are particularly concerned about the state of the economy, and are therefore unwilling to place their trust totally in the Labour party. They have also been influenced by a recent Conservative party election broadcast portraying the Labour party as having insecure foundations.

Clouds still hover over the Conservatives in Wirral

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative party currently holds the Wirral South constituency with a majority of 8,183. However, this is likely to be reversed at the forthcoming by-election, as many voters feel that it is now time to give the Labour party a chance to improve conditions for ordinary people. Issues of particular concern include healthcare, education and political corruption. Reforms undertaken by the Labour party have served to attract many voters who would not previously have supported Labour.

Disaffected Tories suffer the short-term blues

Article Abstract:

Many people who have traditionally supported the UK Conservative party may instead vote for the Labour party in the by-election in Wirral South, where there is a long history of strong backing for the Conservative party. However, this does not mean that they will necessarily vote for the Labour party in the forthcoming general election. Indeed, traditional Conservative voters who fear that the party may lose in the general election would be encouraged not to switch to Labour.
