This rural seat is basically the renamed South West Cambridgeshire division. It donates 29,000 voters to John Major's Tory bastion of Huntingdon, and gains 12,500 from SE Cambs, none of which affects the overall political balance here - it is very strongly Conservative, and MP Sir Anthony Grant's majority can surely survive the strongest of swings.
