is a
County 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.
The constituency covers the town of
Mansfield in
Nottinghamshire . It covers a similar area to the
Mansfield District , except it does not include the town of
Warsop which is in the
Bassetlaw constituency.
Following their review of parliamentary boundaries in
Nottinghamshire , the
Boundary Commission For England has made only minor changes to the existing constituencies to allow for population changes. The boundaries of the modified constituency to be fought at the
Next General Election will be co-terminous with the District of Mansfield.
A constituency with a
Coal Mining tradition, Mansfield has been held by the
Labour Party for generations. It has usually been regarded as a
Safe Seat for them, however in the general elections of the
1980s they came close to losing to the
Conservative Party . At the
1983 Election , they held the seat by just over 2,000 votes. However, at the
1987 Election their majority was just 56. That election was set against the background of the
Miners Strike of
1984 , which was not supported by the majority of miners in Nottinghamshire.
In the elections after 1987, the Labour MP
Alan Meale has held the seat with comfortable majorities. At the
2005 General Election , Mansfield was notable for the
Independent candidate
Stewart Rickersey , an Independent member of Mansfield District Council, receiving 17% of the vote and finishing in third place.
