How people vote in closely fought constituencies like here in Frome and East Somerset will decide the result of the upcoming General Election.

Every vote will make a difference between a Conservative or Lib Dem win here.

Labour and the Green Party can't beat the Tories in Frome and East Somerset.

Lib Dem or Conservative here

There are two choices. Either we will get a Conservative MP - and the out of touch government will continue to take Frome and East Somerset for granted, or we will get a Lib Dem MP in Anna Sabine and Frome and East Somerset will have helped bring down this government.

No other result is possible here.

In last year's by-election the Lib Dems beat the Conservatives in Frome. Labour and the Greens have never elected an MP there. Control of the councils across Somerset and North East Somerset are always between the Lib Dems and Conservatives.

The only way to beat the Conservatives in rural Somerset is to back Lib Dem Anna.

A Labour vote will help the Conservatives win

A vote for third-place Labour here risks letting a Conservative candidate sneak a win and help this government cling to power.

This part of Somerset is an area of strength for the Lib Dems. They’ve won big in recent local elections and elected a Lib Dem MP in the Frome parliamentary by-election last year.

This new Frome and East Somerset constituency covers a large area of East Somerset - and as well as Frome, it includes Evercreech, Midsomer Norton, Radstock and Peasedown.

Whilst both Labour and the Green Party have small pockets of support locally, neither have ever come close to winning big in this part of Somerset.

Labour just can't beat the Conservatives here.
