Okay, doing some investigating...

Crawley, in the SE, is still open. Labor won it with 49% in 2001, Tories got 32% and LD's got 13%.

Harlow, in the East, is still open. Labor won it with 48% in 2001, Tories got 35% and LD's got 13%.

Wirral West, in the NW, is still open. Labor won it with 47% in 2001, Tories got 37%, LD's got 16%

Skipton & Ripon, in Yorkshire & Humberside, is still open. Tories won it with 52% in 2001, LD's got 26%, Labor got 17%.

Hexham, in the NE, is still open. Tories won it with 45% in 2001, Labor got 39%, LD's got 15%.

St. Ives, in the Southwest, is still open. LD's won it with 52% in 2001, Tories got 31% and Labor got 13%.

Berwick-Upon-Tweed, in the NE, is still open. LD's won it with 51% in 2001, Tories got 28%, Labor got 18%.

Argyll & Bute, in Scotland, is still open. LD's won it with 33%, Tories got 24%, Labor got 23%.


That identifies 8 out of the 9 that are still open. I still can't find the 9th one (which should be held by Tories). Given the 2001 numbers, it's doubtful any of those 8 are going to switch tonight... though the Torie's best chance of squeezing out one more would probably be in Wirral West. Definite long shot even there though.

Looks like the Tories came within a whisker of taking Crawley...we're talking a margin of under 50 votes. Labour is going to have several seats on the brink at the next election to defend.
