If a general election was held tomorrow Labour would win North Somerset from Liam Fox, ending his 32 year tenure as the seat’s Conservative MP.

Polling is consistently predicting a Labour win in North Somerset, with recent work by ElectoralCalculus and mega-polls by YouGov, and Survation predicting Fox losing by margins of up to 2.3%, or 1,145 votes.

It’s a two-horse race in North Somerset

The polls show it’s a clear two-horse race between Labour and Liam Fox in North Somerset. ElectoralCalculus predicts the Liberal Democrat and Green parties would gain just 8.8% and 6.5% of the vote respectively, compared to Labour and the Conservatives’ 43.5% and 29.7% respectively.

The results of the last three general elections show that a vote for Labour is the only way to get rid of the Tories here. In 2015, 2017, and 2019 Labour came a strong second, with the Liberal Democrats and Greens coming in third and fourth place respectively,
