This seat in West Oxfordshire is named after one of its main population centres, the growing industrial town of Witney. The latest boundary changes have removed the suburban community of Kidlington, north of Oxford, from the seat, but this changes little. Witney is solidly blue, unsurprisingly represented by senior Tory statesman Douglas Hurd, late of the Foreign Office, and an Oxfordshire MP since 1974. He'll be back.
