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.
Pendle mainly compromises the towns of
Nelson and
Colne ,with smaller towns like
Barnoldswick and
Earby added since boundary changes in the 1970s brought them into this area of
Lancashire from
Yorkshire .It is mostly favourable to Labour although the Conservatives have won the seat in good years for them.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in
Lancashire , the
Boundary Commission For England decided to make only minor changes to the seats in East Lancashire. The new Pendle constituency will contain only those wards within the district boundary, meaning the district council area is co-terminous with the parliamentary boundary.
