Robert Waller wrote

Neath, an industrial seat within the former South Wales coalfield, demonstrates the enormous traditional loyalty to Labour that typifies this area. Labour's Peter Hain, former Liberal and redoubtable fighter for many radical causes, has found himself an extremely safe seat in which to continue building his political career.
