Meriden (UK Parliament constituency) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Meriden (UK Parliament constituency)
Meriden is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by Caroline Spelman, a Conservative. ==History== Meriden is the largest geographical constituency in the West Midlands metropolitan area. It was created for the 1955 general election. The 1983 boundary changes and landslide electoral success of Mrs Thatcher that year transformed the constituency into a Conservative safe seat, with the Labour-leaning areas becoming part of a new Warwickshire North seat (which was also won by the Conservatives). Iain Mills held this seat until he died in office in January 1997, with the seat remaining vacant until the dissolution of Parliament that March (and therefore no by-election being held). Caroline Spelman was victorious in the 1997 general election, though on that occasion only by a marginal majority, and has held the seat since, with the challenge from Labour becoming more distant.
