Hastings and Rye, the easternmost constituency in East Sussex, seems at first sight to be a typical English resort seat, which would therefore be expected to be safe for the Conservatives. However, the towns here are not as affluent as many south coast resorts, and the Liberal Democrats were pressing hard in 1992. Unfortunately the not-insignificant Labour vote, particularly in Hastings itself, seems fairly buoyant, and unwilling to switch to defeat the Tories. Those who advocate tactical voting to oust the Conservative government should look to Hastings and Rye to see whether or not the electors are paying heed.
