Taunton (UK Parliament Constituency)
Taunton was a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and its predecessors from 1295 to 2010, taking its name from the town of Taunton in Somerset. Until 1918, it was a parliamentary borough, electing two Member of Parliaments (MPs) between 1295 and 1885 and one from 1885 to 1918; the name was then transferred to a county constituency, electing one MP. In the boundary changes that came into effect at the general election of 2010, the Boundary Commission for England replaced Taunton with a modified constituency called Taunton Deane, to reflect the district name. The new constituency's boundaries are coterminous with the local government district of the same name. History Famous MPs for the borough include Thomas Cromwell. The 1754 by-election was so fiercely contested that rioting broke out in which two people died. In the 2005 general election, the victorious Liberal Democrats candidate in Taunton required the smallest per ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
