Robert Waller wrote

Labour was once quite strong in the area of west Leicestershire, but the declining tradition of the old Leicester coalfield and expanding suburban communities around Hinckley have seen steady shifts to the Conservatives in this part of England over the past two decades. Bosworth should now be seen as a safe Conservative seat.
