Robert Waller wrote

Unaltered in the most recent boundary review, despite having a very large electorate, the pairing of the industrial town of Rugby with the affluent commuter town of Kenilworth tips the balance firmly in favour of the Conservatives. The 12 per cent swing necessary for Labour victory is surely beyond their reach.
