		Newbury is a busy market town in West Berkshire at the crossroads of the A34 and the M4, 65 miles west of London.
		The constituency is also no stranger to protests: during the 1980s, there was the famous occupation at Greenham Common by the women opposing the siting of American nuclear weapons at the RAF base of the same name.
		This constituency is one which excites political anoraks on account of the famous Liberal Democrat by-election victory here in 1993, when David Rendel beat the Tory candidate by over 22,000 votes on a swing of 28.4%.

		Newbury was the site of the government's first by-election defeat of the current parliament (following the sudden death of Judith Chaplin, former political secretary and special adviser to John Major), in May 1993.
		The constituency has undergone a significant change in its boundary, what remains is very largely rural, the only sizeable town being Newbury (which has now grown to join its near-neighbour Thatcham).
		The constituency is served by the M4, A4 and A34, which have helped the local economy (in particular the London Road Industrial estate) to grow in recent years.

		Newbury town is strong in high-tech industry and services, and has become so prosperous that there is nearly no unemployment and wages, even for very menial jobs, are high.
		Newbury is also close enough to London to house some metropolitan commuters and the west Berkshire countryside is an attractive part of the world; the constituency extends over a sparsely populated hinterland.
		Newbury's problems are the envy of other towns - how to reconcile massive demand for new housing and employment with the pleasant local environment, and how to continue to attract business to a high-wage economy.

	Did tactical unwind lose the Lib Dems seats? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Let's compare the results and swings in these constituencies with the results and swings in the regions the constituencies are part of.
		In Newbury the Labour vote was already very low, and it would be hard for it to drop much further; to drop in line withg the regional swing it would have to have fallen to 1.9% of the vote, which would probably be a record low ofr a party of government.
		In constiuencies that a party lost, it is to be expected that they would have done worse (in terms) of swing, than in constituencies they held; which may explain why the Lib Dem share of the vote in these 5 seats changed by worse than it did in their regions.

		Around the time of the 1979 General Election, I was a member Liberal Party briefly, which happened to be the party closest to unseating the Tory MP in Newbury constituency, where I lived at the time.
		The Liberal SDP Alliance, as it became known, was allowed to described its Parliamentary candidates thus on ballot papers, and was allocated party political broadcast privileges on the basis of the number of seats the alliance as a whole was fighting.
		MPs who "represent" geographical constituencies (most likely each of them as one of several MPs for a larger, multi-member constituency) will naturally continue to take a special interest in geographically local issues that concern those upon whose votes they will depend if they wish to be re-elected in the same geographical area.
