Wrexham (Welsh: Wrecsam) is a parliamentary constituency centred on the scenic town of Wrexham in Wales created in 1918 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2001 by Ian Lucas of the Labour Party.{{refn|group=n|As with all current Westminster seats it elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post system of election.}}{{refn|group=n|The Wrexham Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999.}}

History

Summary of results

The candidate chosen by the Labour Party has won the seat since 1935. In its earlier years the seat alternated between Liberal and Labour parties. The 2015 result gave the seat the 25th-smallest majority of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.[2]

Recent opposition

Atkinson, the Conservative candidate of 2015, came within 5.6% of taking the seat; his earlier counterparts had not taken the runner-up position since 2001. Walsh, a new Liberal Democrat candidate, lost his party 20.5% of the vote comparing the previous result whereas the Liberal Democrats' swing nationally was -15.2%. Candidates rendering Walsh into fifth place were those of UKIP and Plaid Cymru. All four candidates kept their deposits. In 2017 the aggregate for the two main parties increased but the majority remained largely the same. It still remains a Conservative target seat for future elections.

Turnout

Turnout has ranged between 59.5% in 2001 and 87.3% in 1950.

Boundaries

Until 1885, Wrexham was part of the Denbighshire parliamentary constituency, which elected one Member of Parliament until the Reform Act 1832 increased this to two members. In 1885 the Denbighshire constituency was split — the area covered today became part of East Denbighshire constituency.

In 1918 the Wrexham constituency was created, electing one Member of Parliament. For the 1983 general election, major boundary reorganisation saw large areas removed from the Wrexham constituency to form the new constituency of Clwyd South West (later to become Clwyd South).

Wrexham constituency consists of the following electoral wards: Acton, Borras Park, Brynyffynnon, Cartrefle, Erddig, Garden Village, Gresford East and West, Grosvenor, Gwersyllt East and South, Gwersyllt North, Gwersyllt West, Hermitage, Holt, Little Acton, Llay, Maesydre, Marford and Hoseley, Offa, Queensway, Rhosnesni, Rossett, Smithfield, Stansty, Whitegate, Wynnstay.

1918-1949: The Municipal Borough of Wrexham, and the Rural District of Wrexham, and part of Chirk.

1950-1983: The Municipal Borough of Wrexham, and part of the Rural Districts of Ceiriog, and Wrexham.[3]
