Since 1997 campaigns in the seat have resulted in a minimum of 33.1% of votes at each election consistently for the same two parties' choice for candidate, and the next-placed party's having fluctuated between 3.1% and 20.8% of the vote — such third-placed figures achieved much higher percentages in 1992 and in previous decades.
The result in 2017 was the 23rd-closest nationally (of 650 seats).[2]
The seat was abolished prior to the 2024 general election and replaced by parts of two other constituencies.[3]
