As part of our coverage of 100 constituencies in 100 days, Justin Webb found out why this constituency is genuinely open for all the main parties.

There is good news and bad news for the Liberal Democrats.

The good news is that they run the council and have had a very popular local MP - Don Foster - who took the seat from Chris Patten, the then Conservative party chairman, in 1992 and has held it ever since.

The bad news is that Don Foster is retiring at this election and the council has got into difficulties; which sets up a fight that is genuinely open and unknowable.

There are no reliable polls that tell us whether the Conservatives are mounting a big enough threat to win Bath back.

The full list of candidates are:
Liberal Democrat - Steve Bradley
UKIP - Julian Deverell
Conservative - Ben Howlett
English Democrats - Jenny Knight
Labour - Ollie Middleton
Independent - Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst
Green - Dominic Tristram
