Prominent Conservative front-bencher, Michael Portillo, is the comfortable incumbent in this middle-class suburban constituency. The south of the constituency does contain areas of immigrant settlement where Labour has some success, but overall Enfield Southgate is the safest Tory seat in the north London borough, and should return Portillo again in 1997.
