This, the largest town in Surrey, has been slimmed down to its urban core in the latest boundary review, which causes no problems for the incumbent Conservatives - if anything, Woking's shade of blue has deepened. The main threat is from the Lib Dems, and that in local elections. Dissenting voices will be heard from Woking's working-class terraces and council estates, but overall this is a plum Tory seat for new candidate Humfrey Mullins.
