In the [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015 general election]], Nuneaton was the first key marginal seat between the Conservatives and [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] to declare its results.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32634106|title=Conservatives win Nuneaton key battleground|work=BBC News|access-date=16 May 2016}}</ref> Instead of seeing the predicted victory for Labour,<ref name="lordashcroftpolls.com">{{cite web |url=https://lordashcroftpolls.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/NuneatonCX3-March-2015-Full-tables.pdf |title=Nuneaton Poll }}</ref> the seat saw a swing of 3.0% towards the Conservatives which proved to be a big indication that they were heading for victory in the 2015 general election, contrary to prior [[Opinion polling in United Kingdom constituencies, 2010–15|opinion poll]] projections.

This has led to many pointing out the similarities between Nuneaton and the former constituency of Basildon which in 1987 and 1992, Labour unexpectedly failed to win. This is why the Nuneaton result has been seen as the 'Basildon Moment' of 2015, since the [[Basildon (UK Parliament constituency)|Basildon constituency]] similarly foreshadowed the Conservative's election victory in 1992.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-32708389 | work=BBC News | title=Why Nuneaton was the Basildon of 2015 | date=13 May 2015}}</ref>
 
Nuneaton was chosen by the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] as the host of their first televised leadership debate during their [[2015 Labour Party leadership election (UK)|2015 leadership election]].<ref>{{cite webnews|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jun/14/nuneaton-labour-party-voters-rejected|title=Labour's leadership hopefuls: can any of them win over the voters of Nuneaton?|first=Stuart|last=Heritage|newspaper=The Guardian |date=14 June 2015|via=www.theguardian.com}}</ref>
