I said it before and I'll say it again. This will now be her constituency as long as she wants it, but as soon as she steps down it'll go back to the blue column.

Presumably depends on whether they build up a substantial local base and what the state of the Conservative Party is at the time she goes. I certainly wouldn’t say a constituency that has just voted for a party by over 30% in a complete goner potentially as soon as the next election. |

I expect the Lib Dem’s to win a fair few council seats at the next election |

This feels like Owen Paterson's main legacy to public life.
