 Shrewsbury and Atcham   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A safe Conservative seat before 1997, it was a surprise when Paul Marsden took the constituency from ex-MP Derek Conway.
If this is such a dead cert to return to the Tory fold then why is Derek Conway, the Tory incumbent who surprisingly lost in 1997, making a comeback bid in Ted Heath's old stronghold of Bexley and Sidcup rather than giving it another go in Shrewsbury?
The Tory hold on Shrewsbury was actually somewhat wishy-washy going into 1997 (mid-40s in 1992), and the apparent weakness of the Labour gain & mandate could be attributed to vestigial tactical uncertainty--LD was second in 1992, and still held on to a healthy quarter of the vote in 1997.
