Superficially, this is a new constituency. But in fact, all but 2,000 of the voters in this large seat have come from the old constituency of East Hampshire, an extremely solid Tory seat that returned a majority of over 29,000 in 1992. This seat will be just as reliable. The Liberal Democrats can be expected to run a poor second to Tory Michael Mates.
