Cambridge is a parliamentary constituency created in 1295 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.[n 1]

It was held by the Conservatives from 1967 to 1992, since when it has been represented alternately by both Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

In the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union, the constituency voted 73.8% to remain.[3]

History

Overview of results before 1992

Cambridge returned two Members to Parliament from 1295 until 1885, using the bloc vote system.[4] These were generally townsmen who were involved in local government, with at least sixty mayors of Cambridge having served as MP by 1621.[4] Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 representation was reduced to one member with effect from the 1885 general election.[4]

From 1910 to 1992, Cambridge was Conservative-won, save for 1945-1950 and 1966-1968 when it was Labour-won.

Related extra representation 1603–1950

Historically the city of Cambridge retained some electors and was often the source of MPs to a second constituency, for Cambridge University, covering all successful alumni in its electorate. The university seat was created in 1603 as part of the scheme of University constituencies. Its MPs included Isaac Newton, William Pitt the Younger, Lord Palmerston, George Stokes, Richard Jebb, and Archibald Hill before abolition in 1950.

Overview of results since 1992

In 1992 Cambridge was won by Labour's Anne Campbell, who held onto the seat for 13 years (three Parliamentary terms). In 2005 it was taken by David Howarth of the Liberal Democrats, the first time the party including its two forerunner parties had taken the seat since the 1906 Liberal-progressive landslide; his successor, Julian Huppert, held the seat with an increased majority in the 2010 general election. In 2015 Huppert was unseated by the Labour candidate Daniel Zeichner who took the seat with a thin majority of 599 votes. The 2015 result gave the seat the 7th-smallest majority of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.[5]

Most recent results of other parties

In 2015 three other parties candidates kept their deposits by winning more than 5% of the vote. In order of public preference these candidates stood for the Conservatives, Green Party and UKIP respectively.

Turnout since 1918

Turnout at general elections has ranged between 86.48% in 1950 to 60.6% in 2001.

Boundaries

2010–present Cambridge wards and postcode districts map

1868–1918: The Borough of Cambridge, plus the village of Chesterton.[6]

1918–1950: The Borough of Cambridge.[7]

Under the Representation of the People Act 1918, the boundaries were expanded to align with those of the Municipal Borough, incorporating further parts of the former Urban District of Chesterton not already included in the Parliamentary Borough to the north, and the parish of Cambridge Without to the south.

1950–1983: As 1918 but with redrawn boundaries.

The boundaries were further expanded for the 1950 general election, under the Representation of the People Act 1948.

1983–2010: The City of Cambridge wards of Abbey, Arbury, Castle, Cherry Hinton, Coleridge, East Chesterton, King's Hedges, Market, Newnham, Petersfield, Romsey, and West Chesterton.[8][9]

2010–present: The City of Cambridge wards of Abbey, Arbury, Castle, Cherry Hinton, Coleridge, East Chesterton, King’s Hedges, Market, Newnham, Petersfield, Romsey, Trumpington, and West Chesterton.[10]

The constituency roughly covers the city of Cambridge, including areas such as Chesterton, Newnham and Cherry Hinton, although one ward in the south of the city (Queen Edith's) is in South Cambridgeshire constituency; until 2010, this ward was joined in that seat by Trumpington ward. From 1983 to 1997, both wards were in the now-abolished seat of South West Cambridgeshire, and from 1997 to 2010 in South Cambridgeshire.

Changes proposed by the Boundary Commission

The Boundary Commission for England submitted their final proposals in respect of the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster Constituencies (the 2018 review) in September 2018 which would reduce the total number of MPs from 650 to 600. Although the proposals were immediately laid before Parliament they were not brought forward by the Government for approval. Accordingly, they will not come into effect for the 2019 election due to take place on 12 December 2019, which will be contested using the constituency boundaries in place since 2010.

The Commission has recommended that the Queen Edith's ward be transferred back from South Cambridgeshire, resulting in the boundaries of the constituency being co-terminous with those of the City of Cambridge.[11]

Notes
  1. ^ As with all constituencies, Cambridge elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years. It is a borough constituency rather than county constituency which determines the exact level of election expenses available and the type of returning officer appointed for the count.
  2. ^ Old Holborn is the name of a popular libertarian blog, and the author of the blog stood for election under the name of his blog, rather than his own name.
