Robert Waller wrote

Unlike much of Greater London, constituency boundaries in the essentially suburban north London Borough of Enfield remain unchanged. A rather lower middle-class and comfortable skilled manual electorate elected Tory MP Tim Eggar with over 50 per cent of the vote in 1992, and short of massive Conservative unpopularity in London, he should hold this seat in 1997.
