Official: Labour and the Greens give up on Winchester
15 Dec 2023
It's official: Labour has declared that Winchester is a 'non-battleground' seat at the next General Election.
Leaked Labour documents have admitted that they cannot win here. At the last General Election, Labour got less than 5% of the vote across the Winchester constituency. They have no councillors on Winchester City Council, compared to thirty for the Liberal Democrats.
What's more, the Green Party have announced that Winchester is not a target seat. Only the Liberal Democrats are running to win here.
The choice is Danny Chambers or the Conservatives.
In 2019, the Liberal Democrats came second by just 985 votes. Across the constituency, people are switching to the Liberal Democrats so that it doesn't happen again.
