Robert Waller wrote

Morecambe and Lunesdale includes the rural northernmost tip of Lancashire, the resort of Morecambe, Blackpool's less brash neighbour, together with the ferry port of Heysham, and also the western fringes of Lancaster. The latter includes some strong Labour areas, but overall the balance in this seat is tipped firmly in favour of the Conservatives, who will fully expect to hold.
