The unchanged constituency of Ipswich has seen some of the most closely fought battles between the Conservatives and Labour over recent decades, with small swings one way or the other, which actually went against the national trend in 1974, 1979 and 1987. Labour's Jamie Cann is the current incumbent, having regained the seat from the Tories in 1992 with a majority of just 265. The balanced socio-economic profile of the seat underlines the tight political position. The curious past voting history of Ipswich makes this a hard seat to predict, and one where the result cannot be taken to be indicative of the national position of the main parties.
