Robert Waller wrote

Blaby, a rural shire seat to the south-west of Leicester itself, and containing a number of comfortably-off small towns, has been and remains safe for the Conservatives. Best known as the seat that returned Nigel Lawson, former staunch Thatcher supporter who became her nemesis, no upsets can be expected here.
