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] |
