Aldershot (UK Parliament Constituency)
Aldershot is a constituency in Hampshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2017 by Leo Docherty, a Conservative. Political history Aldershot has elected a Conservative as its MP since its creation in 1918. From 1974, to 2010 (inclusive) Liberal Democrats (or predecessor, Liberals) polled second. In 2015 and 2017 the Labour candidate was runner-up. The 2015 result saw the seat rank 123rd safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority. In June 2016, 57.9% of local adults voting in the EU membership referendum chose to leave the European Union instead of to remain. This was matched in two January 2018 votes in Parliament by its MP. In the 2017 general election, Leo Docherty won the seat after Howarth stood down (retired). The seat saw a further increase in the Labour vote, like much of the South East amid its national rise to 40% of the vote, the highest since 2001 when the party was in government.
