==History== |
|||
[[File:Hampton Court RJL.JPG|thumb|left|Hampton Court Palace]] |
|||
Since 1945, the boundaries of the seat have been similar to those of the abolished [[Twickenham Urban District|Municipal Borough of Twickenham]]. |
|||
From 1931 until 1983, Twickenham was a [[safe seat]] of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] and from 1983 until 1997 a [[marginal seat]] for that party. |
|||
[[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrat]] [[Vince Cable]] gained the seat during the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 landslide Conservative defeat]] and held it until 2015. The seat was one of very few in Britain that gave the Liberal Democrats a [[majority]] of votes in the 2005 and 2010 elections, being their sixth best performance nationally in 2010.{{#tag:ref|By share of the vote, behind five seats: Orkney and Shetland, Westmoreland and Lonsdale, Bath, Yeovil, and Norfolk North|group= n}} Cable was [[Secretary of State for Business]] from 2010 to 2015, but unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative candidate [[Tania Mathias]] in the [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015 general election]] during the nationwide collapse in the Liberal Democrat vote. |
|||
Cable regained the seat in the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 snap election]] by a 14.8% majority and an absolute majority at 52.8% of the vote; this was the highest vote percentage for the Liberal Democrats in any constituency nationally.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SGkPQqosDbVL9tSX_uMNaXPGiW2z02z2fchDezlyNss/edit#gid=0|title=GE2017 – Constituency results|work=Britain Elects (Google Docs)|access-date=11 June 2017|language=en|archive-date=30 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200430230037/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SGkPQqosDbVL9tSX_uMNaXPGiW2z02z2fchDezlyNss/edit#gid=0|url-status=live}}</ref> |

The constituency covers the western part of the [[London Borough of Richmond]], i.e. that part of the borough on the north bank of the [[River Thames]] (although the river is on a north-south axis at this point). It includes the town of [[Twickenham]], as well as the [[Hampton, London|Hampton]], [[Teddington]] and [[Whitton, London|Whitton]] areas. It also includes [[Hampton Court Palace]] and [[Bushy Park]], and the [[Rugby Football Union]]'s ground, [[Twickenham Stadium]]. |

Following their review of parliamentary representation in [[South London]], the [[Boundary Commission for England]] has not made any changes to the boundaries of this constituency. The Commission received only eleven representations following the publication of their original proposals, of which ten were in support. |

Further to the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], which came into effect for the [[2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 general election]], the [[Whitton, London|Whitton]] ward was transferred to [[Brentford and Isleworth (UK Parliament constituency)|Brentford and Isleworth]], in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 3 London region}}</ref> |

The seat covers the majority of the western half of the [[London Borough of Richmond]], that part of the borough on the north bank of the [[River Thames]].{{#tag:ref|However mostly further south as the river is on a north-south axis at this point|group= n}} It chiefly contains the towns or London districts of [[Twickenham]], [[Hampton, London|Hampton]], and [[Teddington]]. Smaller sub-localities by order of commercial activity are [[Hampton Hill]], [[Hampton Wick]], [[St Margarets, London|St Margarets]], [[Fulwell, London|Fulwell]], [[Strawberry Hill, London|Strawberry Hill]] and [[Hampton Court]] hamlet proper.{{#tag:ref|An ill-defined but major neighbourhood of [[East Molesey]] often self-identifies as and ascribes to itself Hampton Court by virtue of its station and long standing sweep of shops of that name, across historic and actual boundaries, across the [[river Thames|Thames]] in [[Surrey]], this is not part of the Hampton Court hamlet mentioned.|group= n}} Features includes [[Hampton Court Palace]], [[Bushy Park]] (one of the [[Royal Parks of London]]), and the [[Rugby Football Union]]'s national ground, [[Twickenham Stadium]]. |
|||
=== History of boundaries === |
|||
;1918–1945 |
|||
During this period the Hamptons (Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Court and Hampton Wick) and Teddington were excluded from the seat, which instead contained two urban districts to the north of subsequent boundaries, [[Isleworth]] and [[Hounslow]], an area at the time with key economic sectors of construction, brewing, warehousing and goods transportation. As such these areas had some support for the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]], who in their best result in the seat, lost [[1929 Twickenham by-election|the 1929 by-election in the seat]] by 503 votes (1.6% of the vote). |
|||
;1945–date |
|||
In 1945, the area saw as an unusual corollary to its shift southwards, the [[swing (politics)|swing]] nationally, of +11.7% (Con-to-Lab) converted in the more strongly middle-class redefined seat to a major cut in the 24% [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] majority {{#tag:ref|Also known as one-party swing|group= n}} swinging −15.3% to a [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] opponent, George Granville Slack. In February 1974 and from 1979 until seizing victory in 1997, the runner-up party became the Liberal Party or their successor, the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] and the ward boundaries became only slightly adjusted to reflect changes made in the borderlines made at the local level of government. |
|||
==Constituency profile== |
|||
As described by the boundaries, the area enjoys substantial parkland and [[River Thames|Thameside]] landscapes, coupled with a variety of commuter train services to [[Central London]] including semi-fast services from [[Twickenham railway station|Twickenham]] itself to [[London Waterloo station|London Waterloo]]. |
|||
Twickenham is the only constituency situated entirely within the [[London Borough of Richmond upon Thames]] and, as such, is made up completely of middle-class [[suburbia]], similar to the neighbouring constituencies of [[Kingston and Surbiton (UK Parliament constituency)|Kingston & Surbiton]], [[Richmond Park (UK Parliament constituency)|Richmond Park]] (both in Greater London) and [[Esher and Walton (UK Parliament constituency)|Esher & Walton]] in [[Surrey]]. Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 significantly lower in Twickenham than the national average of 3.8%, at 1.7% of the population based on a statistical compilation by ''[[The Guardian]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics|title=Unemployment claimants by constituency|date=17 November 2010|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=18 December 2016|archive-date=2 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802131558/https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics|url-status=live}}</ref> |

Twickenham is a constituency in Greater London[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Munira Wilson of the Liberal Democrats.[n 2]
History
[edit]Since 1945, the boundaries of the seat have been similar to those of the abolished Municipal Borough of Twickenham.
From 1931 until 1983, Twickenham was a safe seat of the Conservative Party and from 1983 until 1997 a marginal seat for that party.
Liberal Democrat Vince Cable gained the seat during the 1997 landslide Conservative defeat and held it until 2015. The seat was one of very few in Britain that gave the Liberal Democrats a majority of votes in the 2005 and 2010 elections, being their sixth best performance nationally in 2010.[n 3] Cable was Secretary of State for Business from 2010 to 2015, but unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative candidate Tania Mathias in the 2015 general election during the nationwide collapse in the Liberal Democrat vote.
Cable regained the seat in the 2017 snap election by a 14.8% majority and an absolute majority at 52.8% of the vote; this was the highest vote percentage for the Liberal Democrats in any constituency nationally.[2]
The seat has in the 21st century had notably high turnouts. At the 2015 general election, it had the highest turnout in England and the fourth highest in the UK.[3] In 2017, turnout was 79.7%, the highest for any seat in the UK, ahead of Oxford West and Abingdon gained by the same party.[4][5] The seat of Twickenham has also been won by the same party as the neighbouring seat of Kingston and Surbiton in all seven elections they have been in (6 Lib Dem, 1 Conservative).
In December 2023, the Labour Party included the seat in its published list of 211 non-battleground seats, suggesting they did not see it as winnable.[6]
Boundaries
[edit]Historic
[edit]1918–1945: The Urban Districts of Heston and Isleworth, and Twickenham.
1945: boundaries substantially changed – losing territory in the north to form Heston and Isleworth, gaining territory from Spelthorne to the south including Hampton, Teddington, Hampton Wick, Hampton Court Park and Bushy Park
1945–1974: The Municipal Borough of Twickenham.
1974–1983: The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames wards of Central Twickenham, East Twickenham, Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Heathfield, South Twickenham, Teddington, West Twickenham, and Whitton.[7]
1983–1997: The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames wards of Central Twickenham, Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Nursery, Hampton Wick, Heathfield, South Twickenham, Teddington, West Twickenham, and Whitton.[8]
1997–2010: Central Twickenham, East Twickenham, Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Nursery, Hampton Wick, Heathfield, South Twickenham, Teddington, West Twickenham, and Whitton.[9]
2010–2024: The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames wards of Fulwell and Hampton Hill, Hampton, Hampton North, Hampton Wick, Heathfield, St Margaret's and North Twickenham, South Twickenham, Teddington, Twickenham Riverside, West Twickenham, and Whitton.[10]
Current
[edit]Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the Whitton ward was transferred to Brentford and Isleworth, in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range.[11]
The seat covers the majority of the western half of the London Borough of Richmond, that part of the borough on the north bank of the River Thames.[n 4] It chiefly contains the towns or London districts of Twickenham, Hampton, and Teddington. Smaller sub-localities by order of commercial activity are Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, St Margarets, Fulwell, Strawberry Hill and Hampton Court hamlet proper.[n 5] Features includes Hampton Court Palace, Bushy Park (one of the Royal Parks of London), and the Rugby Football Union's national ground, Twickenham Stadium.
History of boundaries
[edit]- 1918–1945
During this period the Hamptons (Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Court and Hampton Wick) and Teddington were excluded from the seat, which instead contained two urban districts to the north of subsequent boundaries, Isleworth and Hounslow, an area at the time with key economic sectors of construction, brewing, warehousing and goods transportation. As such these areas had some support for the Labour Party, who in their best result in the seat, lost the 1929 by-election in the seat by 503 votes (1.6% of the vote).
- 1945–date
In 1945, the area saw as an unusual corollary to its shift southwards, the swing nationally, of +11.7% (Con-to-Lab) converted in the more strongly middle-class redefined seat to a major cut in the 24% Conservative majority [n 6] swinging −15.3% to a Liberal opponent, George Granville Slack. In February 1974 and from 1979 until seizing victory in 1997, the runner-up party became the Liberal Party or their successor, the Liberal Democrats and the ward boundaries became only slightly adjusted to reflect changes made in the borderlines made at the local level of government.
Constituency profile
[edit]As described by the boundaries, the area enjoys substantial parkland and Thameside landscapes, coupled with a variety of commuter train services to Central London including semi-fast services from Twickenham itself to London Waterloo.
Twickenham is the only constituency situated entirely within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and, as such, is made up completely of middle-class suburbia, similar to the neighbouring constituencies of Kingston & Surbiton, Richmond Park (both in Greater London) and Esher & Walton in Surrey. Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 significantly lower in Twickenham than the national average of 3.8%, at 1.7% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian.[12]

Notes
[edit]- ^ A borough constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer).
- ^ As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years.
- ^ By share of the vote, behind five seats: Orkney and Shetland, Westmoreland and Lonsdale, Bath, Yeovil, and Norfolk North
- ^ However mostly further south as the river is on a north-south axis at this point
- ^ An ill-defined but major neighbourhood of East Molesey often self-identifies as and ascribes to itself Hampton Court by virtue of its station and long standing sweep of shops of that name, across historic and actual boundaries, across the Thames in Surrey, this is not part of the Hampton Court hamlet mentioned.
- ^ Also known as one-party swing
