Why vote Labour in Hitchin?
Hitchin is a newly defined constituency straddling the boundary between Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Latest polling shows, despite their national problems, the Conservatives stand a chance of holding this seat because of a split opposition. The Lib Dems have been consistently in third place and are targeting nearby Harpenden and Berkhamstead. Voters in Hitchin have the opportunity to cast a powerful vote to evict the Conservatives from government, and the tactical choice of Labour is clear.
