From 1974 to 1998 the two counties were administratively and ceremonially one, called Hereford and Worcester, and the constituencies crossed the traditional county boundaries. This continued to be the case up to and including the 2005 general election, but since the 2010 general election two constituencies fall entirely within Herefordshire and six within Worcestershire. There are 2 borough constituencies and 6 county constituencies.Table of ContentsConstituencies[edit]2010 boundary changes[edit]Proposed boundary changes[edit]Results history[edit]2019[edit]Percentage votes[edit]Seats[edit]Maps[edit]1885-1910[edit]1918-1945[edit]1950-1979[edit]1983-2005 – Hereford and Worcester[edit]2010-present[edit]Timeline[edit]Worcestershire[edit]Herefordshire[edit]Historical representation by party[edit]1885 to 1918[edit]1918 to 1950[edit]1950 to 1983[edit]1983 to present[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Constituencies[edit]\u00a0\u00a0Conservative \u2020\u00a0\u00a0Labour \u2021\u00a0\u00a0Liberal Democrat \u00a4Name[nb 1]Electorate[1]Majority[2][nb 2]Member of Parliament[2]Nearest opposition[2]MapBromsgrove CC75,07823,106\u00a0Sajid Javid \u2020\u00a0Rory Shannon \u2021Hereford and South Herefordshire CC72,08519,686Jesse Norman \u2020Anna-Maria Coda \u2021North Herefordshire CC70,25224,856Bill Wiggin \u2020Philip Howells \u00a4Mid Worcestershire CC78,22028,018Nigel Huddleston \u2020Helen Russell \u2021Redditch BC65,39116,036Rachel Maclean \u2020Rebecca Jenkins \u2021West Worcestershire CC76,24124,499Harriett Baldwin \u2020Beverley Nielsen \u00a4Worcester BC73,4856,758Robin Walker \u2020Lynn Denham \u2021Wyre Forest CC78,07721,413Mark Garnier \u2020Robin Lunn \u20212010 boundary changes[edit]Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain 8 constituencies covering the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for the 2010 election, making minor changes to take account of the separation of the two counties, to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. The constituencies of Hereford and Leominster were renamed Hereford and South Herefordshire, and North Herefordshire respectively.Proposed boundary changes[edit]See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.[3] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. Final proposals will be published by 1 July 2023.The commission has proposed retaining the current two constituencies in Herefordshire, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to ward boundaries. In Worcestershire, it is proposed to make a small transfer from Mid Worcestershire to Redditch to bring these two constituencies within the statutory range. It is proposed that Mid Worcestershire is renamed Droitwich and Evesham. The other four constituencies would be unchanged.[4]Results history[edit]Primary data source: House of Commons research briefing – General election results from 1918 to 2019[5]2019[edit]The number of votes cast for each political party who fielded candidates in constituencies comprising Herefordshire and Worcestershire in the 2019 general election were as follows:Percentage votes[edit]Election year1983198719921997200120052010201520172019Conservative52.351.850.841.041.142.945.951.758.161.8Labour15.317.924.632.627.424.516.719.728.921.8Liberal Democrat131.429.723.121.919.421.825.36.76.211.5Green Party–*****1.04.52.64.6UKIP–––***4.215.42.1*Other1.00.61.54.512.110.86.81.92.10.311983 & 1987 – SDP-Liberal Alliance* Included in OtherSeats[edit]Election year1983198719921997200120052010201520172019Conservative7774448888Labour0003220000Liberal Democrat10001110000Independent2––––110–––Total777888888811983 & 1987 – SDP-Liberal Alliance2Dr Richard Taylor, standing as the Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern candidateMaps[edit]1885-1910[edit]1918-1945[edit]1950-1979[edit]1983-2005 – Hereford and Worcester[edit]2010-present[edit]Timeline[edit]Green represents former constituencies, pink is for current ones.Worcestershire[edit]Herefordshire[edit]Historical representation by party[edit]A cell marked \u2192 (with a different colour background to the preceding cell) indicates that the previous MP continued to sit under a new party name.1885 to 1918[edit]\u00a0\u00a0Conservative\u00a0\u00a0Liberal\u00a0\u00a0Liberal Unionist1918 to 1950[edit]\u00a0\u00a0Conservative\u00a0\u00a0Independent\u00a0\u00a0Labour\u00a0\u00a0Liberal1950 to 1983[edit]The West Midlands Order 1965 transferred the Dudley area from Worcestershire to Staffordshire and part of the Warley area from Staffordshire to Worcestershire.
