This Cumbrian constituency is one of the longest running Labour safe seats - with the single exception of a shock by-election in 1976, when the seat was lost to Tory Richard Page. It was regained by Labour's Dale Campbell-Savours in 1979, however, and he has held it ever since. Labour's safety lies in depressed working-class Workington itself with its council estates and grimy steelworks. The scenic, Tory-voting rural parts of the constituency, including parts of the Lake District, are easily outgunned, even with recent boundary changes that add more rural voters. Campbell-Savours should maintain a comfortable lead.
