Sitting MP: Kirsten Oswald (SNP)
Prediction: SNP hold
This seat is constantly mentioned as a Tory target. Unless I’m missing something, they can dream on. UPDATE: A correspondent writes: The reason East Ren is seen as a Tory (and Labour) target is that there is a strong anti-independence vote. Demographically well off and a strong No in the Indy Referendum. So a battle between Labour and Tory to be seen as the best Unionist bet. Labour have selected the Director of Better Together Blair McDougall which gets that message across. Tories won the respective Scottish Parliament seat in a tight 3 way fight which gives them hope they can do well.
