Angus is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (at Westminster). It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system. It was created for the 1997 general election, largely replacing East Angus. As a result of boundary changes for the 2005 general election, boundaries are now quite different from those of the Angus Scottish Parliament constituency, which was created in 1999. The constituency is dominated by farmland, and includes the towns of Arbroath, Montrose, Brechin and Forfar. == Boundaries == The constituency covers the Angus council area, minus an area round the Dundee City council area, which is divided between the Dundee East and Dundee West constituencies. Until the 2005 general election, it covered the south-east of the Angus council area, north-eastern and north-western areas of the Dundee City council area, and a small eastern portion of the Perth and Kinross council area. The north-west of the Angus council area was within the North Tayside constituency. Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the older boundaries. Major towns in the House of Commons constituency are Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar, Kirriemuir and Montrose. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angus (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
