Robert Waller wrote

Caerphilly is one of a clutch of seats in the traditional South Wales valleys whose electors' loyalty to Labour is an unflinching as the Labour's majorities are unassailable. The culture of these former coalmining communities is remarkably deep-rooted and enduring and provides bastions of Labour support to counterbalance the 'Tory shires'.
