Nicholas Winterton, Conservative MP for Macclesfield, has something of a reputation as being his own man. Firmly opposed to the European Union, he has not been averse to criticising his party on other issues. The Cheshire town of Macclesfield is generally comfortably-off, and the surrounding rural commuter area is even affluent. This should be enough to see Winterton home safely.
