What was the reason for the relatively small swing here? The Tory vote fell by less than in similar seats, the Lib Dem vote also fell, and the Labour vote barely increased. Overall Labour and the Lib Dems made no advance at the Tories loss of vote share, which seems unusual for Surrey this time.

This feels a bit like Windsor, Beaconsfield, Hertsmere and East Surrey (other similar seats I'd put in this bracket) in being pretty much a bomb-proof Conservative seat. Even if the Party tests wipeouts to destruction the identification with the Party brand is just too strong to lose except in a by-election scenario. Liz Truss as Leader might have lost this but aside from that or a Braverman leadership these seats are the last holdouts and unlikely to be lost.

Even split of opposition.
Not targeted, I think, by either LD or Lab.

Not targeted, I think, by either LD or Lab. Same went for Windsor next door in which both the Lab and LD candidates tried to pitch themselves as the main challenger but without any substantial national support they just cancelled each other out in doing so (which probably also had some geographic basis). I assume this was the same story, and when I visited Weybridge during the campaign, what little indication of its existence could have been present did not manifest. |
