Between 1964 & 1974, Basingstoke was the fastest growing town in Britain because of a governmental program that moved thousands of industrial & office workers from Labor districts in London to a safe Conservative district in a largely Ru & agricultural area. Data are presented on the growth of & change in Basingstoke's population during this period & the political party organizations of 1964 & 1974. Comparisons of the Parliamentary candidates in those 2 elections & on preparations for the election campaigns found insignificant changes. Campaign activities were much the same despite the changes in the constituency & the more widespread availability of TV. In the campaign discussion, the main themes of both campaigns were bread & butter issues, although the Liberal resurgents preceding the 1974 campaign changed that party's pitch somewhat. However, the tone of the 1974 campaign was markedly sharper & more personal than in 1964. Analysis of the results indicated that the overspill program & related social change had not altered the solid Conservative character of the district. The inertia of some indigenous factors such as the political party system & the Conservative incumbency, possible eccentricities in the immigrant population, & process factors such as a "chameleon effect," that leads immigrants to adapt to their new political landscape, & a "turbid waters effect," that has impaired the effectiveness of the Labor organization & campaign, are offered as possible explanations for the seeming intractability of the district. Data were based on field research in the district during the 1964, 1966, & Feb 1974 Parliamentary election campaigns. 1 Table. Modified AA.
