Other than Leicester itself, the most Labour-leaning seat in Leicestershire--when the main population centre's named "Coalville", how can you miss?--but miss it did through the Thatcher years, and the Tories even barely held on in 1992 while the near-neighbours in Warwickshire had their advance taste of Labour resurgence. But Labour nearly doubled Tory here in 1997, so guess what it's gonna be now. |
