Stretching from the outskirts of Great Yarmouth, through parts of the northern Norfolk Broads, and round the north side of Norwich and to the market town of East Dereham, Norfolk Mid is essentially safe Tory countryside. There are Labour voters, and indeed, agricultural workers in rural Norfolk had a strong Labour tradition as recently as the 1960s, but these days agriculture employs few people anywhere in rural England and Labour now make about as little impression on Conservative majorities in rural Norfolk as everywhere else in the English countryside.
