Next up in our round up of key battles that will hopefully propel new talent into the commons is Battersea, home of the Battersea Dogs and Cats home, the Royal accademy of Dance and new Covent Garden Market. Situated on the south bank of the Thames, Battersea is the first of our 'legitimate tory targets.' The three previously mentioned, while won by Labour in 2005, officially begin the battle as Tory utra marginal seats after boundary changes. Battersea is not, it is a geniune Labour seat, if only by a few hundred votes.
The Labour MP is Martin Linton, the woman hoping to see the end of Labour in Battersea is a Bradford born Yorkshire girl Jane Ellison. She currently works for the John Lewis partnership and has fortprevious parliamentary elections in Barnsley and in the Lancashire town of Pendle, itself a Tory Target partly due to Jane's work slashing the Labour majoirty in 2005. True yorkshire grit in Battersea sounds like a fine combination, her website is here.
