LIBERAL Democrat Evan Harris has spoken after losing his Oxford West and Abingdon seat.
Conservative Nicola Blackwood won the seat by 176 votes just after 4am.
Mr Harris, speaking on a televised BBC interview, said: "I lost by 176 votes. It wasn't comprehensive.
"It was a marginal seat. I accept a week ago we certainly were not expecting it to be that marginal."
