		Constituency Profile: This electoral Constituency stretches along the uplands of southwestern Baffin Island.
		Political History: Cape Dorset's Olayuk Akesuk was the giant-killer of the 1999 election, toppling N.W.T. deputy premier Goo Arlooktoo of Kimmirut, who many thought was a shoe-in for the Nunavut premiership.
		But the upset may have had more to do with math: Cape Dorset is the biggest community in the Constituency, and locals seemed eager to elect a hometown candidate.

		But if just 708 of West Dorset's denizens switch their votes from the shadow chancellor to his Liberal Democrat rival Justine McGuinness, he would find himself with rather a lot of spare time on May 6.
		He is, quite literally, on the run, dashing from London, where he is a central figure in the Conservatives' national election campaign, to Dorset and back again every day, using his 4 X 4 as a mobile office and surviving on a few hours' sleep.
		If she turns true blue West Dorset yellow for the first time in over a century, she has every reason to be very cheerful indeed.

	The new Chippenham Constituency
		Every 8 to 12 years, the Boundary Commission for England recommends that the constituency boundarys in the country be updated to keep each parliamentary area roughly equal in terms of population covered, and also to group together populations that naturally fit together.
		If Parliament approves, the new constituencies will be used at the first general election after that.
		It looks like the new constituency will be a close battle between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.

	Everything about Billy Bragg - News
		Billy Bragg is making a special offer to Lib Dem voters in the South Dorset constituency at the coming UK general election.
		If the Conservatives cannot defend their Shadow Chancellor in West Dorset; if they cannot win back traditional Conservative seats like Mid-Dorset; if they can’t even win the most marginal Labour constituency in the country, South Dorset - then the chances are they will be finished as a political force for the foreseeable future.
		It will be the Liberal Democrats who come out of the election with the momentum to become the official opposition, a just reward for their principled stance on the Iraq war.

	Vote Dorset
		However, both South Dorset and Mid-Dorset were won with the slimmest of majorities and are highly vulnerable to a Tory resurgence.
		If the Conservatives cannot defend their Shadow Chancellor in West Dorset; if they cannot win back traditional Conservative seats like Mid- Dorset; if they can’t even win the most marginal Labour constituency in the country, South Dorset - then the chances are they will be finished as a political force for the foreseeable future.
		Using this website, Lib Dem voters in South Dorset who are willing to vote tactically for the Labour Party can find ‘voter valentines’ - Labour voters who are willing to reciprocate by voting for the Lib Dem Party in the two neighbouring constituencies of West Dorset and Mid-Dorset and North Poole.

	Four Lib Dems are seeking Labour pairs - Votedorset.net Forums
		About 5,000 strategic vote swaps would achieve the Dorset goal, and help to achieve the larger goal, so I would be glad to hear from prospective Labour pairs.
		Obviously I would have preferred to pair with Dorset South to boost Jim Knight's slender majority, but this BBS does seem to indicate a lack of impetus.
		Burton, our constituency, continues to be a target for a tactical vote, for Lib Dems to support the Labour MP against a Tory comeback (the seat was Tory for donkey's years, until 1997).

		Conservative leader Michael Howard sent a series of letters to voters in marginal constituencies linking the cost of asylum with rises in council tax since 1997.
		They contrast the rise in Band D council tax bills with the amount local councils in the area have spent on asylum, which Mr Howard says is "money that could have been spent on essential local services".
		In the Mid Dorset and North Poole constituency, where the Liberal Democrats are defending a small 684 majority from the Tories, Mr Howard's letter puts the cost since 1997 for the Dorset county and Poole district councils at £1,926,240.

		Many carers have told me about the problems of day-care services only being available for limited periods of the day, the lack of funding for replacement and short term breaks and the absence of evening and week-end services.
