Yes I do. Gower.
Under the UK’s first-past-the-post electoral system, the old adage ‘every vote counts’ can sometimes ring hollow. But in the south Wales constituency of Gower, it’s actually true. A Labour stronghold for more than a century, Gower turned Blue in 2015 by the smallest majority in the General Election - just 27 votes. Located on the south Wales coast, the constituency spans 128 square miles and has a voting population of about 62,000. Having returned a Labour MP at every General Election since 1910, the Gower’s 2015 result was a crushing blow for the Labour Party, which saw similar losses across Wales and the rest of the UK.

Eastbourne is very tense
LibDem Stephen Lloyd (45%) is a local man of the people visiting schools, fetes, small businesses, even after being ousted in 2015 by Conservative Caroline Ansell (47%), who no-one has seen locally for the past two years. He was broke and crowdfunded his campaign, because he gives so much time and money for free. Conservatives even resorted to a town-wide letter from Ian Gow's widow yesterday mentioning Corbyn's IRA affiliations. They are desperate. Visits from T.May and B.Johnson in past week. But there are so many lifelong Tory supporters in town, who will vote for anyone 'in blue' no matter what. (Down the road at Hastings Home Sect Amber Rudd is in a pickle also) |

I am surprised Hastings is a Conservative seat.
Maybe for not much longer. Don't think too many people would Miss Rudd. |

bungalow bill....
You won't be far from Pembrey Country Park if you're staying near Force L'Arse. Well worth a couple of hours there. Take a look at the beach there, it's called Cefn Sidan, 8 miles long! Rhosilli beach accessed via Hill End camp site is a must.. voted Britain's best beach year after year. Many more outstanding beaches on Gower, Port Eynon/Horton one of my favourites (do a lot of fishing there) Three cliffs bay worth the walk through the woods from Parkmill. Oxwich, car park right on the beach, and then you have Caswell and/or Langland (great restaurant/bistro) is worth a look. Then there's Mumbles which is at the head of Swansea Bay itself. I live in Loughor, between Llanelli and Swansea... you'll cross the estuary bridge on your way to Gower from Llanelli... give us a wave lol. Have a great time. |
