The Essex constituency of Dagenham in the east of London is synonymous with the huge Ford motor plant here. Many of the skilled and moderately affluent working folk here are examples of 'Essex Man', the more comfortable and nationalist-inclined working people who swung strongly behind Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. Dagenham had previously been such a safe Labour seat that the Conservatives never actually won here, although the Labour vote fell dramatically. Things now seem to have swung back Labour's way and they will certainly be safe in 1997.
