Cheshire
Seats: 11
Current Political Makeup: Con 8, Lab 3
Predicted Political Makeup after May 7: Con 5, Lab 6
1. City of Chester
2010 Result:
Conservative: 18995 (40.6%)

Independent: 99 (0.2%)

Sitting MP: Stephen Mosley (Con)

This seat swings with the political wind. I think the UKIP intervention will be decisive here and they will take more votes from the Tories than Labour.
