The Conservatives are set to win in Lewisham East.
That is the message that comes out of the results of the election for the Mayor of London in May 2008.
The Conservative Party is now the closest it has been to Labour in Lewisham East for almost 20 years - when Lewisham East was last a Conservative-held seat.

The results across Lewisham East's 7 wards were:
Labour 9879
Conservative 8820
Lib Dems 2705

On the basis of these results, there has been a big swing in Lewisham East towards the Conservatives in the three years since 2005, with Labour and the Lib Dems going backwards fast.
A highly motivated team of Conservative activists, led by the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate Jonathan Clamp, is working hard to show that the Conservative Party is the only serious and positive alternative to Gordon Brown's tired and discredited Labour Government.
With your help the Conservatives can win in Lewisham East.
