Norwich South 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.


BOUNDARIES

A seat with a very high profile Labour MP and minister ( Charles Clarke ), and a large student vote, there was a considerable advance by the Lib Dems here in 2005 thanks to Labour's controversial top-up fees policy, which is not popular with students. Mr. Clarke's tenure in this seat is now not as safe as it looked previously.


HISTORY

Norwich South was by far Labour's safest seat in Norfolk throughout the Thatcher years and up until 2005. Although it was lost to the Conservatives in 1983, it was regained by Labour in 1987 and was the only Labour seat in Norfolk until 1997. In 2005 the Liberal Democrats cut the Labour majority by over 5000 leaving Norwich North as the safest Labour seat in the county.
