The shipbuilding town of Barrow, at the tip of the Cumbrian Furness peninsula, may seem as if it should be good Labour territory, but, perhaps because of voter uncertainty about Labour's commitment to the defence industry, this has not always been the case. Also, some of the other small towns in the seat vote respectably Conservative. In a good year for Labour, the party will hold on to power here, but it should be viewed as marginal whenever voters swing to the Tories.
