Mine's an odd one in that Norwich South is essentially one of Labour's safest seats with a 15,500 majority over the Tories, but it's also been a four-way marginal as recently as 2010 when fewer than seven thousand votes split the Labour, Green, Tory, and Lib Dem candidates.
The 2017 standings were:
Labour - 31,311 Tory - 15,715 Lib Dem - 2,841 Green - 1,492
The Lib Dems have gone from a 310 majority in 2010 to being 28,470 behind Labour in 2017, but it'll be interesting to see how they do this time around given that the large student population will need to trade-off their betrayal over tuition fees against their pro-EU stance.
I imagine the Tory tactic will be to hope that the Labour vote fragments back to 2010 levels if the students forgive the Lib Dems, which would mean if they can retain the majority of their 15,715 votes from last time, that would be enough for them to charge through the middle and take the seat.
At the moment I'm thinking Labour as being the best chance of beating the Torys in the seat, but I'll be keeping a close eye on the polling.
Clive Lewis seems to be well thought of locally, I'd be very surprised if he didn't win fairly comfortably. I said as much in 2017 when a couple of posters were predicting they'd lose that seat after regaining it in 2015.

So many posters intending to vote for a party under investigation by the EHRC, what a strange hypocritical outlook.
Labour's problem seems significant, and has been handled poorly.
Although, of course, a spot of racism never seemed to bother Tory or Brexit Party voters in the past did it? Only recently is it something many seem to care about. I guess they must have just been holding their nose or looking the other way Arsene Wenger style when in the polling booth.

Lib Dem, but wasted in the Fens as Tory will win no matter what. Only hope is there is a bit of move against Lucy Fraser as she votes for herself not her constituents.
For me, it will be interesting how much Brexit Party will cannibalise the Tory vote, if they play on the fact Boris can’t be trusted to get a deal done.

really doesn't matter what I vote. We are in the safest of safe labour seats..... sign me up for proper PR as currently I'm essentially disenfranchised.
However, this is the problem, we're having an election when there is a massive cross party single issue. Its the stupidest idea I've ever seen. We need a referendum on the leave deal, or remain, and then once thats sorted, we can have an election, where people's votes can go towards a proper manifesto.
No one seems to have considered what happens if the election returns us to the exact status quo that we currently have... what then? Keep going? Have another election? ****ing ridiculous.

Agreed, racism across all fronts, only one party being investigated though.
I'm sorry but voting for that party is endorsing it, spoilt paper is the only answer to a clear conscience.

You'd hope so.
The missus and I bumped into him in the Forum on Sunday morning and he came across as a very pleasant chap, and I'm sure all his support of pro-Remain causes and Extinction Rebellion will play well with the largely-student electorate in Norwich South.
My only worry is if the Greens and Lib Dems have a resurgence and start taking back the voters who lent their support to Clive back in 2015 and 2017.

That's certainly a valid viewpoint. However, what if your local MP is one of the MPs fighting back against the racism in their party? What are your thoughts on removing that person from a position of power and removing their ability to fight against racism from within?

On that note I see Margaret Hodge has been reselected, which is a good thing.
The labour Ipswich MP is below useless, if it voting for the person I fail to see how he can be voted for.

I'd be interested to hear a more detailed response about your opinion of Sandy Martin?
I've come into contact with him on a somewhat regular basis over the years, although not for the last couple, and he's always struck me as a decent sort as far as politicians go, and also genuinely concerned with Ipswich affairs.

Willing but ineffectual, plaudits and little result, he is no Ken Weetch.

My issue is, looking at the other candidates, they seem entirely unrelated to the town, and entirely lacking in any kind of credible experience.

I don't care less if Dianne Abbott is in charge of them. It isn't about who leads them now but stopping the f***ing Tories from ruining the country forever.
We can then sort out who should be leading the country later, once we have not all committed mass suicide by Conservative.
