Bellwether

A bellwether is one that leads or indicates trends.
The term is derived from the Middle English ''bellewether'' and refers to the practice of placing a bell around the neck of a castrated ram (a ''wether'') leading his flock of sheep. The movements of the flock could be noted by hearing the bell before the flock was in sight.
==Politics==
In politics, the term is more often applied in the passive sense to describe a geographic region where political tendencies match in microcosm those of a wider area, such that the result of an election in the former region might predict the eventual result in the latter. In a Westminster-style election, for example, a constituency, the control of which tends frequently to change, can mirror in its popular vote the result on a national scale.
