Why vote Labour in Basingstoke?
Basingstoke, traditionally Conservative since 1924, is now within reach for Labour due to urban growth, national swing, and boundary changes. The Greens and Lib Dems are not targeting Basingstoke. Labour had a slight lead in the May 2024 local elections, but votes were divided. For the general election, the main contest is between the Conservatives and Labour. The most recent polling has Labour comfortably in the lead, but the margin has fluctuated in recent months.
