Harborough, stretching down the A6, from the south-western suburbs of Leicester to the town of Market Harborough, is a safe seat for Conservative MP, Edward Garnier. As in many comfortable shire constituencies, the Liberal Democrats rather than Labour are the main challengers, but they should pose no real threat.
