	FT.com - Special Reports / UK Election 2001
		The 1997 election result - a Lib Dem victory by 2 votes - was the closest since 1931 while it stood, but it was re-run in November 1997 and the Lib Dem Mark Oaten was re-elected by a majority of over 21,000.
		Winchester now looks one of the safest Lib Dem seats; although this is somewhat illusory because of the odd circumstances of 1997, the Lib Dems are favourites to hold off the Conservatives.
		The seat is coterminous with the City of Winchester District, which was a notable Lib Dem victory in the elections of May 2000; they made a net gain of 2 seats from the Conservatives on a high turnout for a local election of 40% (although the Tories were slightly ahead in share of the vote).

	Christmas News 1997
		Following a legal challenge to the General Election result, a by-election was called in Winchester, at that time the most marginal seat in the country.
		The media unaccountably ignored the City Council by-election in King's Norton ward in July, notable for the fact that Phil stood as a candidate - for the cost-effective reason that we could re-use Miriam's posters from last year.
		One election a year is probably more than enough for most people, but this year we've been involved in three!

	GENERAL ELECTION 1997
		Seventeen by-elections were held to fill causal vacancies; more than in the preceding Parliament which lasted a year longer and had more Conservative MPs who are generally older and at more risk of dying during a Parliament (and, arguably, at more risk of resignation-inducing scandal) than Labour MPs; make of this what you will.
		There were no vacancies for which by-elections were not held because of the approaching dissolution.
		The consistently poor performance of the Conservatives is only partially explained by the fact that there were no by-elections in marginal Labour seats; the result of the following general election suggests that there were other factors at work.
