After an invasion lasting 330 years, the Anglican, Saxon, and Jutish "comelings" having driven the earlier "homelings" into the hill-country of the west by steady encroachments and spasmodic conquests, the names Wales and Welsh were applied to the ancient people and the land they retained.

An example would be Labour in the South West in 1997, our targets down here were Exeter and Falmouth & Cambourne, if we hadn’t targetted Exeter, it would still have gone Labour, but we might have picked up South Dorset and even Bridgwater with the activists left in their own constituencies.

Torridge and West Devon is a goner for the LDs IMHO, the pro hunting MP John Burnett stepping down and the conservatives have reselected Geoffrey Cox, who fought a very energetic campaign back in 2001 and come close to taking the seat.
