Nadine Dorries' seat is up for by-election. There is a lot of tactical voting going on in by-elections to keep the conservatives out. LD and Labour are neck and neck in the polls. If neither side give way then conservative could take the seat back.

I can see why both are standing firm. At least this way they get a proper feel on which party is the most favoured between LD and Lab. This will make it an easier choice on who will give way at the general election proper, which could be less than a year away. This seat will be ran again when a GE is announced.
