Basingstoke (/ˈbeɪzɪŋˌstoʊk/) is a constituency in Hampshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Luke Murphy, a member of the Labour Party.[a]

Constituency profile

[edit]

The constituency is based around the town of Basingstoke in Hampshire. Basingstoke is both a commuter town with frequent trains to London and a regional economic centre, making this a prosperous area.[3]

History

[edit]

Political history

[edit]

Historically, Basingstoke has been a Conservative safe seat, but in 2024 it elected a Labour MP for the first time in its history. With the exception of this and a Liberal MP being elected in 1923, it has elected Conservative MPs since the seat was created in 1885. The closest it came to a non-Conservative victory in the century between was in 2001, when its incumbent since 1983, Andrew Hunter, in his final election, was returned by 880 votes. Hunter notably crossed the floor in 2004 to join the Democratic Unionist Party, a party which traditionally only runs in Northern Ireland.

In June 2016, an estimated 53.6% of local adults voting in the EU membership referendum chose to leave the European Union instead of to remain.[4]

Content and regional context

[edit]

The town was represented in the Model Parliament convened in 1295 but not again until the modern seat was created in 1885 which was done on a broad contents basis. From 1295 inclusive[b] to the one year parliament of 1831-32 its area was part of the Hampshire constituency or election of knights of the shire as the event was more often called and from 1832 to 1885 its area lay in the North Hampshire constituency.

For the 2015 election, the Green Party attempted to field two candidates who would job share.[13] Sarah Cope had young children and Clare Lorraine Phipps is disabled,[13] so neither could work as a full-time MP. Their application was rejected.[14]
