'''Chipping Barnet''' is a [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|parliamentary]] [[constituency]] in the [[United Kingdom]]'s [[United Kingdom House of Commons|House of Commons]]. It is strongly Conservative and withstood the Labour landslide of 1997.

==Constituency profile==
Barnet was once an elevated narrow projection of [[Hertfordshire]] into the county of [[Middlesex]], and consisted of an agricultural market town.<ref>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol2/pp329-337 'Parishes: Barnet', in A History of the County of Hertford: Volume 2] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170803045531/http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol2/pp329-337 |date=2017-08-03 }} ed. William Page (London, 1908), pp. 329-337. British History Online. accessed 5 February 2017.</ref> The town became well connected to central London by the London Underground network and is today commuter [[suburbia]], with many of its properties semi-detached with substantial gardens as well as having many small parks and nature reserves. The area has few [[tower block]]s for [[social housing]].{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

[[Electoral Calculus]] categorises the seat with a "Kind Yuppies" demographic, indicating well-educated younger voters who could vote for either the Conservatives or Labour but opposed [[Brexit]].<ref>Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Chipping+Barnet</ref>

It was held by a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] since its creation for the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 general election]], and withstood the Labour landslide in [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997]] by just over 2% (1,035 votes). However, this would come to a close after the 2024 general election, when Chipping Barnet was won by the Labour Party; it was the first time in the constituency's history that it was not represented by a Conservative MP.

In the [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 general election]], the seat was seen as an important potential gain for the Labour Party, due to Villiers' small majority and high-profile (as the [[Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs|Environment Secretary]]) and the seat's vote to remain in the [[2016 European Union membership referendum]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/politics/opinion-polls/news/108499/dominic-raab-tops-list-big-name-mps-who-could-lose-their |title=Dominic Raab tops list of big-name MPs who could lose their seat on Thursday |last=Langford |first=Eleanor |date=11 December 2019 |publisher=[[Politics Home]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208213414/https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/politics/opinion-polls/news/108499/dominic-raab-tops-list-big-name-mps-who-could-lose-their |url-status=live |archive-date=8 February 2020 |access-date=8 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/general-election-2019-chipping-barnet-theresa-villiers-marginal-1044820 |title=General election 2019: Chipping Barnet voters hold their nose, put off by anti-Semitism and Brexit |last=Gallagher |first=Paul |date=15 November 2019 |work=[[i (newspaper)|i]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208213536/https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/general-election-2019-chipping-barnet-theresa-villiers-marginal-1044820 |url-status=live |archive-date=8 February 2020 |access-date=8 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/shadow-of-jeremy-corbyn-hangs-over-labour-canvassers-flm5b7xt5 |title=Shadow of Jeremy Corbyn hangs over Labour canvassers |last1=Smyth |first1=Chris |last2=Zeffman |first2=Henry |date=30 November 2019 |work=[[The Times]] |url-access=limited |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208213915/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/shadow-of-jeremy-corbyn-hangs-over-labour-canvassers-flm5b7xt5 |url-status=live |archive-date=8 February 2020 |access-date=8 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/london-election-seats-times-results-tonight-a4311916.html |title=Key London election seats and times results will be announced: your guide to tonight |last=Murphy |first=Joe |date=12 December 2019 |work=[[Evening Standard]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208214430/https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/london-election-seats-times-results-tonight-a4311916.html |url-status=live |archive-date=8 February 2020 |access-date=8 February 2020 |quote=Cabinet minister Theresa Villiers has been nursing a tiny majority of 353 (0.6 per cent).

Chipping Barnet is a constituency[n 1] created in 1974 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Dan Tomlinson of the Labour Party.[n 2] It is part of the London Borough of Barnet, on the border with Hertfordshire.

Constituency profile

[edit]

Barnet was once an elevated narrow projection of Hertfordshire into the county of Middlesex, and consisted of an agricultural market town.[3] The town became well connected to central London by the London Underground network and is today commuter suburbia, with many of its properties semi-detached with substantial gardens as well as having many small parks and nature reserves. The area has few tower blocks for social housing.[citation needed]

Electoral Calculus categorises the seat with a "Kind Yuppies" demographic, indicating well-educated younger voters who could vote for either the Conservatives or Labour but opposed Brexit.[4]

Boundaries

[edit]

The seat was created from the parts of the former Barnet constituency which were in the London Borough of Barnet.

1974–1997: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Arkley, Brunswick Park, East Barnet, Hadley, and Totteridge.

1997–2010: As above plus Friern Barnet.

2010–2024: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Brunswick Park, Coppetts, East Barnet, High Barnet, Oakleigh, Totteridge, and Underhill.

2024–present: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Barnet Vale, Brunswick Park, East Barnet, Edgwarebury, High Barnet, Totteridge & Woodside, Underhill and Whetstone.[5][6]

History

[edit]
Chipping Barnet votes by political party in the 1974-2019 general elections. Con = Conservative, Lab = Labour, LbD = Liberal/Liberal Democrat, Grn = Green Party, NFt = National Front, UKI = UK Independence Party, Oth = Other, Ind = Independent

It was held by a Conservative since its creation for the February 1974 general election, and withstood the Labour landslide in 1997 by just over 2% (1,035 votes). However, this would come to a close after the 2024 general election, when Chipping Barnet was won by the Labour Party; it was the first time in the constituency's history that it was not represented by a Conservative MP.

In the 2019 general election, the seat was seen as an important potential gain for the Labour Party, due to Villiers' small majority and high-profile (as the Environment Secretary) and the seat's vote to remain in the 2016 European Union membership referendum.[10][11][12][13] Nevertheless, Villiers retained the seat with a majority increased threefold, albeit still a small one.[14]
