is a
Constituency represented in the
House Of Commons of the
Parliament Of The United Kingdom . It elects one
Member Of Parliament (MP) by the
First Past The Post system of election.
In 1983, the Copeland constituency was created;
Jack Cunningham , who had previously been the member for
Whitehaven , stood and won the seat.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in
Cumbria , the
Boundary Commission For England have created a modified Copeland seat as a consequence of population changes.
The seat moves out of the district of
Copeland and into
Keswick for the first time, which was the main topic in public consultations regarding the changes.
The
Allerdale wards of Crummock, Dalton, Derwent Valley and Keswick are added to the Copeland district for this seat.
