Taunton Deane is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Rebecca Pow of the Conservative Party. ==History== Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which created this constituency for the General Election 2010 as a reduced form of the Taunton seat. The western wards, transferred to the new seat of Bridgwater and West Somerset for 2010, were all close to or in Exmoor, which were five in number: *Aville Vale, Brompton Ralph and Haddon, Dulverton and Brushford, Exmoor and, Qualme.〔 ;Political history The predecessor seat, while approximately 7% larger in electorate (and thus due to population and settlements' growth, oversized), had been held by a Liberal Democrat, Jeremy Browne, since 2005, who won this seat as its main successor with a relatively marginal majority. In the two elections before that, the seat had seen alternation between a Conservative and a Liberal Democrat. The last general election in which either party polled less than 38% of the vote, thus allowing a larger majority, was in 1987, taking into account only one of their notionally equivalent predecessors, the Social Democratic Party - their candidate participated in the SDP–Liberal Alliance. ;Prominent members Since the 2010 election, the elected member Jeremy Browne has been a Minister of State, until September 2012 of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and after this of the Home Office. He announced on 15 October 2014 that he would be stepping down at the 2015 General Election.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29633089〕 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「Taunton Deane (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
