Bridgwater, stretching from Somerset's Quantock Hills down to the coastal resorts of Minehead and Watchet, is pretty much a safe Conservative seat. The Liberal Democrats have done very well in local elections, but stubborn Labour loyalties, particularly in Bridgwater itself, will make it difficult for the Liberal Democrats to marshal the non-Conservative vote behind their banner in the manner necessary to unseat the Tories. Such a possibility is not unthinkable, but if the Liberal Democrats did win here, they would be on track to make significant inroads throughout the South West.
