Westbury is actually a small town in West Wiltshire, which by rights should be the name of this constituency - there are several larger towns than Westbury in the seat, including the county town Trowbridge and Warminster, famous for its UFO sightings and crop circles. With the loss of some Labour voters, boundary changes favour the Tories this time - as if they needed the help. The real contenders in this South Western rural seat are the Liberal Democrats, and they tend to come a poor second. Aristocratic David Faber can expect to hold the seat this side of the revolution.
