    After some number crunching over the result and looking at this Constituency-wide here are some findings: (double member divisions have been averaged):

    Votes % share Change

    Cons 11,338 43.7 8.1

    Lab 6,163 23.8 -18.5

    LD 6,040 23.3 4.2

    Other 2,405 9.3 7.4

    Total 25,946

    I make the swing over 13%. Labour were within 120 votes of falling to third place. They probably were third when the Eastry and Sholden villages of the Sandwich division are included.

    This was not just a routine Labour collapse - the Conservatives saw their share of the vote rise more strongly than elsewhere. Best for the Tories was Dover Town where the swing was 18% and the Conservative vote rose there by 15%. This is very promising for the Conservatives at the General Election.
