In the recent boundary overhaul, Suffolk received a new seat. Superficially, this is it - there has never been a Suffolk West before - but, in fact, the bulk of this seat corresponds to the old Bury St Edmunds constituency, while the new Bury seat has the real claim on being the newcomer. Suffolk West is predominantly rural and contains a high proportion of people employed in the armed services, neither of which facts help Labour, although there is a concentration of Labour votes in the council estates of Haverhill. The Tories have this seat and the real question is who will come second - Haverhill will probably give Labour the ascendancy over the Lib Dems.
