Newcastle upon Tyne East is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 recreation by Nick Brown of the Labour Party. ==History== Parliament created this constituency in the Representation of the People Act 1918 however its first creation was eventually absorbed in 1997 by the new ''Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend'' seat. Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which recommended the recreation of the seat for the 2010 general election. Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which slightly altered this constituency for the 2010 general election since which it has electoral wards: Apart from a quite widespread party defection in 1981 to the SDP, successive members of the Labour Party have represented this constituency in Westminster since 1964 (including its interim successors). Since 1970, the double-digit majorities won suggest in all three previous forms of the constituency and today's constituency have been safe seats. ;Latest political results in the local context For the Labour Party was likely to be more marginal since 2006 when a Liberal Democrat local popularity strengthened, winning council seats across the constituency with large majorities. This indicated a possibility of Labour losing the seat to the Liberal Democrats at the 2010 general election. In the event, Labour's Nick Brown held the seat with the smallest majority in 44 years, and in the simultaneous local elections Labour benefitted from the associated increased turnout to take the Walkergate Council Ward from the Liberal Democrats. 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「Newcastle upon Tyne East (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
