At the limits of the London Underground's Metropolitan Line, the Chesham and Amersham constituency is the essence of leafy Tory commuter land. Comfortably affluent small towns and villages set in wooded Buckinghamshire countryside, but within commuting distance of the Metropolis, this comprises one of the most middle-class seats in the country, and with a Conservative majority to match. The Liberal Democrats come a distant second, but the Tories are unassailable.
