'''Sidney Raymond Eudy''' (December 16, 1960 – August 26, 2024) was an American [[Professional wrestling|professional wrestler]], best known for his tenures in the [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) and [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), wrestling under the [[ring name]]s '''Sid Justice''', '''Sid Vicious''', and '''Sycho Sid'''. <br />
<br />
Eudy was a six-time [[Professional wrestling#Championships|world champion]], having won the [[WWF Championship]] [[List of WWE Champions|twice]], the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]] [[List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions|twice]], and the [[USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship]] [[USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship#Title history|twice]].

<br />

=== Early career (1987–1989) ===<br />
Eudy entered wrestling after an encounter with [[Randy Savage]] and his brother [[Lanny Poffo]].<ref name=PWISid>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Mike |date=August 26, 2024 |title=Looking At The Career Of Sid 'Vicious' Eudy |url=https://pwinsider.com/article/187319/looking-at-the-career-of-sid-vicious-eudy.html?p=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829185802/https://pwinsider.com/article/187319/looking-at-the-career-of-sid-vicious-eudy.html?p=1 |archive-date=August 29, 2024 |access-date=August 29, 2024 |website=PWInsider}}</ref> After he was trained by [[Tojo Yamamoto]], Eudy made his debut as he teamed with [[Austin Idol]] and wrestled the team of [[Nick Bockwinkel]] and [[Jerry Lawler]]. He began his career in [[Continental Wrestling Federation|Continental Championship Wrestling]] (CCW) in 1987 under the masked wrestler persona [[Lord Humongous|Lord Humungous]].<ref name="wwebio">{{Cite web |title=Sid's Alumni Profile |url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumni/sid/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071125121134/http://www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumni/sid/bio/ |archive-date=November 25, 2007 |access-date=June 26, 2007 |publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref> On Christmas Day 1987, Sid won the [[NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship (Northern Division)]]. Later, he turned into a [[Face (professional wrestling)|fan favorite]] after rekindling a ([[kayfabe]]) childhood friendship with [[Shane Douglas]], resulting in the two forming a tag team and capturing the [[CWF Tag Team Championship|NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championship]].<ref name=PWISid/> <br />
<br />
He competed in [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW), where he challenged [[Tatsumi Fujinami]] for the [[IWGP Heavyweight Championship]] under the name Vicious Warrior, but was unable to win the title. Eudy then made a very brief stint in [[World Class Championship Wrestling]] (WCCW), where he adopted one of his most notable [[ring name]]s: Sid Vicious, which he took from the [[Sid Vicious|punk rock musician of the same name]] who played bass for the [[Sex Pistols]].<ref name="wwebio" /><br />

In 1989, Eudy signed with [[World Championship Wrestling]] and retained his Sid Vicious ring name.<ref name=wwebio/> He made his televised debut in WCW by defeating [[DeWayne Bruce]] on the June 17, 1989, episode of ''[[WCW Pro|Pro]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=WCW Results 1989 |url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/wcw89.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100425235836/http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/wcw89.htm |archive-date=April 25, 2010 |access-date=December 17, 2019 |website=The History of WWE}}</ref> Originally slated as a singles wrestler, Eudy was eventually paired with [[Dan Spivey|Danny Spivey]] to form [[The Skyscrapers]], and were managed by [[Theodore Long|Teddy Long]].<ref name=wwebio/> The Skyscrapers feuded with The [[Road Warriors]] and The [[Steiner Brothers]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Halloween Havoc 1989 results |url=https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/halloweenhavoc89.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622063522/https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/halloweenhavoc89.html |archive-date=June 22, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling}}</ref> During that time, he incorporated the [[Powerbomb#Release Powerbomb|Powerbomb]] as his finishing move.

After his recovery, Eudy was introduced on the May 11, 1990 edition of ''[[WCW Power Hour|NWA Power Hour]]'' as the newest member of [[Ric Flair]]'s [[The Four Horsemen (professional wrestling)|Four Horsemen]].<ref name=wwebio/> Sid was the "muscle" of the group and initially brought in to counter-act the strength of [[RoboCop (character)|RoboCop]] at [[Capital Combat]]. His first televised match back was a 26-second loss to [[Lex Luger]] on June 13 at ''[[Clash of the Champions XI: Coastal Crush|Clash of the Champions XI]]'' after the referee performed a fast three count.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Clash of the Champions XI results |url=https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XI |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080623095650/https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XI |archive-date=June 23, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |website=Pro Wrestling History}}</ref> As one of the Horsemen, Eudy feuded with [[Paul Orndorff]] and the [[Junkyard Dog]]. He attacked [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship|NWA World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Sting (wrestler)|Sting]] following the champion's title match at ''[[Clash of the Champions XII]]'' in September, setting up his first feud as a singles wrestler. On October 27 at [[Halloween Havoc (1990)|Halloween Havoc]], a fake Sting ([[Barry Windham]]), in collusion with Sid, let Sid pin him after switching places with the real Sting in order for Sid to win the belt.

<br />
Sid's association with the Horsemen became tenuous following this episode, and he began a quasi-[[Face (professional wrestling)|face]] run on November 20, when he defeated [[Bryan Clark|The Nightstalker]] at ''[[Clash of the Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Clash of the Champions XIII results |url=https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XIII |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080925000723/https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XIII |archive-date=September 25, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |website=Pro Wrestling History}}</ref> On December 16, The Skyscrapers had a short-lived reunion when Sid and former partner Spivey defeated [[Curtis Hughes|Big Cat]] and [[Mike Moore (wrestler)|The Motor City Madman]] at [[Starrcade (1990)|Starrcade]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Starrcade 1990 results |url=https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/starrcade90.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622063604/https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/starrcade90.html |archive-date=June 22, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling}}</ref> Following this match, Eudy made an abrupt return to heel status, squashing [[Joey Maggs]] at ''[[Clash of the Champions XIV: Dixie Dynamite]]'' on January 30, 1991.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Clash at the Champions XIV results |url=https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XIV |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080925000723/https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#XIV |archive-date=September 25, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |website=Pro Wrestling History}}</ref> He returned to full-fledged Horsemen activity and participated in the [[WarGames match]] on February 24 at [[WrestleWar (1991)|WrestleWar]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=WrestleWar 1991 results |url=https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/w-war.html#91 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222095705/https://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/w-war.html#91 |archive-date=December 22, 2008 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |website=Pro Wrestling History}}</ref> The Horsemen amicably split in April, during which time he entered negotiations with the WWF.

At a ''[[WWF Superstars of Wrestling|Superstars]]'' taping on May 28, 1991, Eudy made his WWF debut in an untelevised segment, attacking [[Jacques Rougeau|The Mountie]] following Mountie's open offer.<ref name=WWF91>{{cite web |title=WWF Results 1991 |url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/91.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721233659/http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/91.htm |archive-date=July 21, 2011 |access-date=December 17, 2019 |website=The History of WWE}}</ref> On the June 8 episode of ''[[WWF Prime Time Wrestling|Prime Time Wrestling]]'', [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Vignette|vignettes]] began airing promoting his WWF debut and introducing him as Sid Justice.<ref name=WWF91/> Sid made his debut on WWF television on the July 20 episode of ''Superstars''.

<br />
Sid competed for the vacant WWF Championship in the [[Royal Rumble (1992)|Royal Rumble]] [[Royal Rumble match|match]] on January 19, 1992. Sid entered at No. 29 and was among the final four wrestlers, along with Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ric Flair, before he eliminated both Savage and then Hogan, leaving himself and Flair in the ring. Hogan, who was still at ringside after being eliminated, grabbed Sid's arm and tried to pull him over the top rope, giving Flair the chance to grab Sid's legs and throw him out to win the match and become the new WWF Champion.<ref name=WWF92>{{cite web |title=WWF Results 1992 |url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/92.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117030039/http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/92.htm |archive-date=November 17, 2015 |access-date=December 17, 2019 |website=The History of WWE}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ric Flair (spot No. 3) wins the Royal Rumble Match to become WWE Champion |url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/history/19881152/mainevent/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010055616/http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/history/19881152/mainevent/ |archive-date=October 10, 2007 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref> Less than a week later, on the January 25 episode of ''Superstars'', WWF President [[Jack Tunney]] held a press conference to determine Flair's opponent at [[WrestleMania VIII]]. Before Tunney revealed his decision, Sid stood up as if Tunney called his name. Yet to Sid's annoyance, Tunney chose Hogan, giving a menacing glance in Hogan's direction and calling Tunney's decision "bogus". Sid later apologized to Hogan and teamed up with him to face The Undertaker and Flair on ''[[Saturday Night's Main Event XXX]]''.<ref name=WWF92/> During the match, after he [[Professional wrestling double-team maneuvers#Double clothesline|double clotheslined]] Undertaker and Flair, Hogan reached to Sid for a tag.

<br />
On the February 23 episode of ''Wrestling Challenge'', Sid appeared as a guest on [[Brutus Beefcake|Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake]]'s "The Barber Shop". Knowing that Hulk Hogan (Beefcake's long-time real-life friend) was not in the arena, Sid threatened Beefcake and chased him off the set before destroying the Barber Shop with a chair. Later that night, Hogan was scheduled to battle Sid (and not WWF Champion Ric Flair) at WrestleMania VIII.<ref name="WWF92" /> Sid acquired [[Bruno Lauer|Harvey Wippleman]] as his manager and began a post-match gimmick where he would further (kayfabe) injure his defeated opponents with one or more powerbombs, and sometimes–after the defeated wrestler placed on a stretcher–following it up by grabbing the stretcher and running it into a fixture, such as a ring post or guardrail.<ref name=OWOW/> Prior to his WrestleMania match with Hogan, Sid failed a drug test. He was allowed to do the match and then went on their European tour, after which he was told he was going to serve his suspension.<ref name=OWOW/> At WrestleMania VIII on April 5, Sid lost to Hogan by disqualification when Wippleman jumped into the ring to get involved. After the match, Sid and [[Charles Wright (wrestler)|Papa Shango]] attacked Hogan until the returning Ultimate Warrior stormed the ring and saved Hogan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WrestleMania VIII Main Event |url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/8/mainevent |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107041010/https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/8/mainevent |archive-date=November 7, 2012 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
After WrestleMania, Sid was about to embark on a feud with The Ultimate Warrior, the story being that Sid was angry at the Warrior for saving Hogan at WrestleMania VIII. Eudy wrestled Warrior at two house shows, both of which Warrior won by disqualification.<ref name="WWF92" /> After wrestling Warrior in [[Boston|Boston, Massachusetts]], on April 26, Eudy voluntarily quit the company due to disagreements with the Warrior and WWF management in particular about the outcome of his match with Warrior. The WWF replaced Sid with Papa Shango in the feud with Warrior.<ref name="WWF92" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=August 27, 2017 |title=Sid Vicious on The Ultimate Warrior |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihD1OmEHQBc |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/ihD1OmEHQBc |archive-date=December 22, 2021 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |via=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref><br />

<br />
After this, Sid turned face and was scheduled to challenge then WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vader at [[Starrcade (1993)|Starrcade]] and win the title.<ref name="PWISid" /> Before this could happen, Sid was released from his contract due to an altercation with [[Arn Anderson]] during a WCW tour of Europe. Eudy and Anderson were involved in an argument at a hotel bar in the English town of [[Blackburn]] on October 27, 1993. Anderson threatened Eudy with a broken bottle; after being sent to their rooms by security chief Doug Dillinger, Eudy came to Anderson's room and attacked him with a chair leg, and Anderson retaliated with a pair of scissors. Eudy received four stab wounds and Anderson received 20, losing a pint and a half of blood in the process. The fight was broken up by fellow wrestler [[2 Cold Scorpio]], who was credited with saving Anderson's life. Neither man pressed charges against the other, and British police declined to do so since both men would soon be leaving the country.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Meltzer |first=Dave |author-link=Dave Meltzer |date=November 8, 1993 |title=Arn Anderson |journal=[[Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== United States Wrestling Association (1994–1996) ===<br />
After his departure from WCW, Sid moved to the [[United States Wrestling Association]] (USWA) in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], where he began feuding with old rival [[Jerry Lawler]].<ref name="PWISid" /> On July 16, 1994, he won the promotion's [[USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship|Unified World Heavyweight Championship]] by forfeit when Lawler, who had been attacked and injured by Sid earlier in the card, could not appear for the scheduled match. While Lawler was able to defeat Eudy in non-title matches, Sid was able to retain his title in several championship defenses through [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Screwjob|screwjobs]] initiated by [[Harry Del Rios|The Spellbinder]], his ally at the time. Sid also participated in the [[UWF Blackjack Brawl]] on September 23, 1994, challenging [["Dr. Death" Steve Williams]] for the [[Universal Wrestling Federation (Herb Abrams) championships#UWF World Heavyweight Championship|UWF World Heavyweight Championship]].<ref name="PWISid" /> On February 6, 1995, Lawler won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship back from Sid.

Eudy returned to WCW at [[The Great American Bash (1999)|The Great American Bash]] in on June 13, 1999, joining [[Randy Savage]]'s [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stable]] [[Team Madness]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 13, 1999 |title=WCW Great American Bash |url=https://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999062p.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010510011619/https://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999062p.htm |archive-date=May 10, 2001 |access-date=August 29, 2024 |publisher=DDT Digest}}</ref> Upon his return, he took the nickname of "The Millennium Man" and faced the WCW World Champion [[Kevin Nash]] on the July 5, 1999, episode of ''WCW Nitro''. Sid was dubbed as undefeated having a winning streak much like [[Bill Goldberg|Goldberg]] had previously; although, the majority of this streak was due to Sid coming to the ring and power bombing wrestlers already in a match or immediately following their match and thus "defeating" them.<ref>{{Cite web |first= |date=July 5, 1999 |title=WCW Monday Nitro |url=https://ddtdigest.com/updates/1999071m.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991103080444/https://ddtdigest.com/updates/1999071m.htm |archive-date=November 3, 1999 |access-date=August 29, 2024 |publisher=DDT Digest}}</ref><br />

==== World Heavyweight Champion (2000) ====<br />
Sid turned [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]] after the "Millennium Man" gimmick ran dry. He was placed in a match at [[Souled Out (2000)|Souled Out]] on January 16, 2000, to fill the suddenly vacant [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]] after Bret Hart was forced to relinquish it due to a concussion.

On January 24, Sid was presented with a challenge by Nash, who had become commissioner of WCW. If he could beat [[Harris Brothers|Don and Ron Harris]] on ''Nitro'' that night, he would face Nash for the championship that night.

On January 14, 2001, at the [[WCW Sin|Sin]] pay-per-view in Indianapolis at Conseco Fieldhouse (now Gainbridge Fieldhouse), Sid faced Steiner, Jeff Jarrett and [[Road Warrior Animal]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|Four Corners match]] for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sin 2001 results |url=https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/sin01.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080222062548/https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wcwppv/sin01.html |archive-date=February 22, 2008 |access-date=August 29, 2024 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling}}</ref> During the match, he had a near career-ending injury. WCW executive John Laurinaitis allegedly felt that Eudy needed to broaden his arsenal of wrestling moves and suggested that he try an aerial maneuver, despite his unwillingness and disbelief that a wrestler of his shape should do highspots.<ref name="PWISid" /> His [[Bone fracture|leg fractured]] following a leap from the second turnbuckle in an attempted [[Professional wrestling attacks#Big boot|big boot]] on Steiner. This had him awkwardly landing with all his weight on one foot while kicking with the other, severely fracturing the leg on which he landed. Eudy broke his left leg in half, snapping both the [[tibia]] and [[fibula]], with at least one of the bones breaking through the skin and rotating his foot without his input at 90 degrees anti-clockwise.<ref name="third" /> The fracture was too graphic for many television stations to re-air,<ref name="third">{{cite web|url=http://www.mikemooneyham.com/pages/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=66A75D91-8932-4BA1-999FA61E57DCF3E4|title=Third Time Charm For Bischoff?|author=Mike Mooneyham|publisher=The Wrestling Gospel|access-date=June 26, 2007|date=January 21, 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927225019/http://www.mikemooneyham.com/pages/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=66A75D91-8932-4BA1-999FA61E57DCF3E4 <!-- Bot retrieved archive -->|archive-date=September 27, 2007}}</ref> although it was shown on the following ''Nitro''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 15, 2001 |title=WCW Monday Nitro |url=https://ddtdigest.com/updates/2001012m.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030620012636/https://ddtdigest.com/updates/2001012m.htm |archive-date=June 20, 2003 |access-date=August 29, 2024 |publisher=DDT Digest}}</ref><br />
<br />
The injury put Sid out of action indefinitely, and he pondered retiring from wrestling for good: "I had about a year left on my contract, and I was thinking back then prior to hurting my leg what was I going to do as far as wrapping up my career. The only thing I really wanted to do was ideally go out in a big pay-per-view, like a [[WrestleMania]] or something like that main event, leave like that, and not come back again. It would really be the retirement match".<ref name="charm">{{cite web |author=Kohl |first=Jeff |date=May 3, 2001 |title=Sid Vicious considering retirement |url=http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingBiosV/vicious_01may03-can.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505175659/http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingBiosV/vicious_01may03-can.html |archive-date=May 5, 2015 |access-date=June 26, 2007 |website=Slam!

Sid later sued WCW, claiming that he was made to jump off the second rope against his objections.<ref name="charm" /> The injury forced a plot change in the [[SuperBrawl Revenge]] event. The main event was supposed to be Kevin Nash, [[Diamond Dallas Page]], and Sid against Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, and Road Warrior Animal but was rewritten as Kevin Nash against Scott Steiner.

After WCW was bought by the WWF in March 2001 and following surgery, Eudy was faced with the prospect of rehabilitation of his leg for three to five days per week for at least the next year. He was told by his doctor that he would never run again, and Sid set a goal of being able to do so. At first he was limited to using a cane, but through extensive effort he was able to not only walk again, but in time run. During his arduous rehabilitation, he made several appearances as [[World Wrestling All-Stars]]'s (WWA) [[Professional wrestling authority figures|commissioner]] during its 2002 [[Australia]]n tour, though at the beginning of WWA's [[Sydney]] show.<ref name=OWOW/> Sid also filed a lawsuit with the [[Universal Wrestling Corporation]] (the Turner holding company for what remained of WCW's unpurchased assets), seeking redress for the injury that he sustained.

<br />
He competed in [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW), where he challenged [[Tatsumi Fujinami]] for the [[IWGP Heavyweight Championship]] under the name Vicious Warrior, but was unable to win the title. Eudy then made a very brief stint in [[World Class Championship Wrestling]] (WCCW), where he adopted one of his most notable [[ring name]]s: Sid Vicious, which he took from the [[Sid Vicious|punk rock musician of the same name]] who played bass for the [[Sex Pistols]].<ref name="wwebio" /><br />

Sid entered at No. 29 and was among the final four wrestlers, along with Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ric Flair, before he eliminated both Savage and then Hogan, leaving himself and Flair in the ring.

<br />
On the February 23 episode of ''Wrestling Challenge'', Sid appeared as a guest on [[Brutus Beefcake|Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake]]'s "The Barber Shop". Knowing that Hulk Hogan (Beefcake's long-time real-life friend) was not in the arena, Sid threatened Beefcake and chased him off the set before destroying the Barber Shop with a chair. Later that night, Hogan was scheduled to battle Sid (and not WWF Champion Ric Flair) at WrestleMania VIII.<ref name="WWF92" /> Sid acquired [[Bruno Lauer|Harvey Wippleman]] as his manager and began a post-match gimmick where he would further (kayfabe) injure his defeated opponents with one or more powerbombs, and sometimes–after the defeated wrestler placed on a stretcher–following it up by grabbing the stretcher and running it into a fixture, such as a ring post or guardrail.<ref name=OWOW/> Prior to his WrestleMania match with Hogan, Sid failed a drug test. He was allowed to do the match and then went on their European tour, after which he was told he was going to serve his suspension.<ref name=OWOW/> At WrestleMania VIII on April 5, Sid lost to Hogan by disqualification when Wippleman jumped into the ring to get involved. After the match, Sid and [[Charles Wright (wrestler)|Papa Shango]] attacked Hogan until the returning Ultimate Warrior stormed the ring and saved Hogan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WrestleMania VIII Main Event |url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/8/mainevent |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107041010/https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/8/mainevent |archive-date=November 7, 2012 |access-date=August 28, 2024 |publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref><br />

After WrestleMania, Sid was about to embark on a feud with The Ultimate Warrior, the story being that Sid was angry at the Warrior for saving Hogan at WrestleMania VIII. Eudy wrestled Warrior at two house shows, both of which Warrior won by disqualification.<ref name="WWF92" /> After wrestling Warrior in [[Boston|Boston, Massachusetts]], on April 26, Eudy voluntarily quit the company due to disagreements with the Warrior and WWF management in particular about the outcome of his match with Warrior.

<br />
After this, Sid turned face and was scheduled to challenge then WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vader at [[Starrcade (1993)|Starrcade]] and win the title.<ref name="PWISid" /> Before this could happen, Sid was released from his contract due to an altercation with [[Arn Anderson]] during a WCW tour of Europe. Eudy and Anderson were involved in an argument at a hotel bar in the English town of [[Blackburn]] on October 27, 1993. Anderson threatened Eudy with a broken bottle; after being sent to their rooms by security chief Doug Dillinger, Eudy came to Anderson's room and attacked him with a chair leg, and Anderson retaliated with a pair of scissors. Eudy received four stab wounds and Anderson received 20, losing a pint and a half of blood in the process. The fight was broken up by fellow wrestler [[2 Cold Scorpio]], who was credited with saving Anderson's life. Neither man pressed charges against the other, and British police declined to do so since both men would soon be leaving the country.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Meltzer |first=Dave |author-link=Dave Meltzer |date=November 8, 1993 |title=Arn Anderson |journal=[[Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]}}</ref><br />

After his departure from WCW, Sid moved to the [[United States Wrestling Association]] (USWA) in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], where he began feuding with old rival [[Jerry Lawler]].<ref name="PWISid" /> On July 16, 1994, he won the promotion's [[USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship|Unified World Heavyweight Championship]] by forfeit when Lawler, who had been attacked and injured by Sid earlier in the card, could not appear for the scheduled match. While Lawler was able to defeat Eudy in non-title matches, Sid was able to retain his title in several championship defenses through [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Screwjob|screwjobs]] initiated by [[Harry Del Rios|The Spellbinder]], his ally at the time. Sid also participated in the [[UWF Blackjack Brawl]] on September 23, 1994, challenging [["Dr. Death" Steve Williams]] for the [[Universal Wrestling Federation (Herb Abrams) championships#UWF World Heavyweight Championship|UWF World Heavyweight Championship]].<ref name="PWISid" /> On February 6, 1995, Lawler won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship back from Sid.

The injury put Sid out of action indefinitely, and he pondered retiring from wrestling for good: "I had about a year left on my contract, and I was thinking back then prior to hurting my leg what was I going to do as far as wrapping up my career. The only thing I really wanted to do was ideally go out in a big pay-per-view, like a [[WrestleMania]] or something like that main event, leave like that, and not come back again.

After WCW was bought by the WWF in March 2001 and following surgery, Eudy was faced with the prospect of rehabilitation of his leg for three to five days per week for at least the next year. He was told by his doctor that he would never run again, and Sid set a goal of being able to do so. At first he was limited to using a cane, but through extensive effort he was able to not only walk again, but in time run. During his arduous rehabilitation, he made several appearances as [[World Wrestling All-Stars]]'s (WWA) [[Professional wrestling authority figures|commissioner]] during its 2002 [[Australia]]n tour, though at the beginning of WWA's [[Sydney]] show.<ref name=OWOW/> Sid also filed a lawsuit with the [[Universal Wrestling Corporation]] (the Turner holding company for what remained of WCW's unpurchased assets), seeking redress for the injury that he sustained.

She had been married to an electrician for two years and stopped making adult films, but continued making a living with personal appearances in night clubs and strip clubs.<ref name="Revisited">{{cite web |title=Celebrity Rehab Revisited: Marey Carey or Marey Ellen? |url=http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/712086/marey-carey-or-marey-ellen.jhtml |publisher=VH1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151002173638/http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/712086/marey-carey-or-marey-ellen.jhtml |archive-date=2 October 2015 |date=16 November 2011 |type=video}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Politics==<br />
During the [[2003 California gubernatorial recall election]], Carey signed a contract with Kick Ass Pictures and, as a [[publicity stunt]], they came up with the idea that Carey should run for governor. She was an independent candidate, placing tenth in a field of 135 candidates. She ran on an eleven-point platform that included somewhat tongue-in-cheek promises of taxing breast implants, making [[lap dance]]s tax-deductible, and creating a "Porn for Pistols" exchange program.<br />
<br />
In June 2005, Carey announced her bid for [[Lieutenant Governor of California]] as an independent in 2006. She dropped out of the race in October 2006 to care for her mother, who had jumped off a building while off her medications.<ref name="Quits">{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s), no byline--> |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/porn-star-quits-governors-race-20061024-gdoo37.html |title=Porn star quits governor's race |newspaper=Sydney Morning Herald |date=2006-10-24 |url-access=limited}}</ref><br />
<br />
In April 2021, Carey announced plans to run in the yet to be declared [[2021 California gubernatorial recall election]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=White |first1=Jeremy B. |title=Former porn star Mary Carey announces California recall bid — again |url=https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2021/04/13/former-porn-star-mary-carey-announces-california-recall-bid-again-9426103 |website=Politico |access-date=14 April 2021 |date=13 April 2021}}</ref> In July, after the recall election was declared, Carey dropped out of the race, citing the short time scale for filing the paperwork for candidacy. As tribute to the porn industry's use of the term [[MILF]], she said that her campaign message was going to be MILF, which she defined as "Moderates and Independents for Liberation and Freedom".<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s), no byline--> |title=Mary Carey pulls out of CA Governor Race ...

==Personal life==<br />
In April 2005, Carey was arrested in connection with a [[Lakewood, Washington]], cabaret sting operation, for violating a city strip club ordinance that forbids dancers from sexually touching themselves. She subsequently made a plea agreement and received a 19-month sentence, which was [[Suspended sentence|suspended]] on the condition that she was not charged with any other offense within one year.<ref name="Gallen">{{cite web |url=http://www.xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=10277 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130209230505/http://www.xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=10277 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-02-09 |title=Mary Carey Faces Judge Over Strip Club Violation |first=Gretchen |last=Gallen |date=2005-09-10 |publisher=XBIZ}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-04-19-mary-carey-arrest_x.htm |title=Porn star Mary Carey arrested |access-date=2007-03-28 |date=2005-04-19 |work=USA Today |agency=Associated Press}}</ref><br />

The following [[Notability in the English Wikipedia|notable]] deaths occurred in 2024. Names are reported under the date of death, in alphabetical order. A typical entry reports information in the following sequence:<br />
<br />
* Name, age, country of citizenship at birth, subsequent [[nationality]] (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference.<br />
<br />
<!--Please check to see if someone is already listed before listing them--><br />

<br />
A typical entry reports information in the following sequence: Name, age, country of citizenship at birth or nationality if the subject is not eligible (for example, in the case of animals), subsequent nationality (if applicable), what subject was noted for, cause of death (if known), and reference. Names are reported under the date of death. Names under each date are reported in alphabetical order by surname or pseudonym.<br />
<br />
(1) Please add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Include a reference to a reliable source.[a] [b] If a Wikipedia article for the dead does not yet exist, reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article are removed after one month.<br />
<br />
(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the dead "notable". If you report the death of a notable subject that does not already have a Wikipedia article, consider starting one.<br />
<br />
(3) Please add entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid over-linking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.<br />
<br />
(4) References should be in <ref>[url & title]</ref> format, as full citations make the page too slow to load, and too big to edit.<br />
<br />
(5) Please do not move deaths from the previous month until the 8th of current month.<br />

[[File:Amy Post 1860s.jpg|thumb|Amy Kirby Post|337x337px]]<br />
'''Amy Kirby Post''' (December 20, 1802 – January 29, 1889) was an activist who was central to several important social causes of the 19th century, including the [[Abolition of slavery in the United States|abolition of slavery]] and [[women's rights]]. Post's upbringing in [[Quakerism]] shaped her beliefs in equality of all humans, although she ultimately left the [[Quakers|Religious Society of Friends]] because of her desire to actively support social change efforts that called upon her to collaborate with non-Quakers. A friend of many prominent activists including [[Frederick Douglass]] and [[Susan B. Anthony]], Post provided key support to the causes that she believed in both publicly and in less-public ways. She was a signer of the 1848 [[Declaration of Sentiments]] and a life-long activist who committed herself to work toward a range of intersecting social issues. This blended activism approach sets Post apart from many other activists of her time who advocated for a single issue in the hopes that doing so would lead to sufficient social change.<br />
<br />
== Early life ==<br />
Amy Kirby was born in 1802 to a Quaker family living in a farming community in [[Long Island, New York]].<ref name=":010">{{Cite book|last=Hewitt|first=Nancy A.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1029343355|title=Radical Friend : Amy Kirby Post and Her Activist Worlds|date=2018|publisher=University of North Carolina Press|isbn=978-1-4696-4033-4|location=Chapel Hill|oclc=1029343355}}</ref>{{Rp|15}} Her parents were Jacob and Mary Kirby, who had five children.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|24}} Amy Kirby grew up in the town of Jericho, where she attended the Quaker-run Jericho Friends School. The school taught both female and male students and also enrolled black students until 1817, at which point a segregated school was established by the Charity Society.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|25}} As such, Kirby would have attended school with black children and would have also been in contact with various black people working on local farms and in homes in the area. She and her siblings were raised in the manner of Quakers, or Friends, meaning that they subscribed to a life of simplicity in, for instance, dress and speech. As Quakers, the Kirby family would have also believed in the equality of all people, no matter their sex or race.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|27–29}}<br />
<br />
== Kirby-Post marriages and children ==<br />
Amy's sister, Hannah Kirby, married another Quaker, Isaac Post, in 1822.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=About Amy and Isaac Post · Post Family Papers Project · RBSCP Exhibits|url=https://rbscp.lib.rochester.edu/exhibits/show/post-family-papers/the-posts|access-date=2020-06-06|website=rbscp.lib.rochester.edu}}</ref> After the birth of a daughter, Mary, Isaac Post moved Hannah Post and their baby to Scipio, a township in the southern part of [[Cayuga County, New York|Cayuga County]], New York.<ref name=":1" /> Hannah Post suffered from isolation, given her husband's need to work on the family farm, his travels to the Quaker Yearly Meeting in New York City, and his trips to see his family on Long Island.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|35–36}} Amy Kirby visited her sister in the spring of 1823. During this visit, Kirby took part in Quaker meetings and social events and drew the interest of Charles Willetts, who proposed marriage in 1824.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|36–39}} Kirby went back home to Jericho but developed a relationship with Willetts. She and Willetts maintained their courtship through letter-writing<ref name="AKP">{{Cite web |last=Post |first=Amy |title=Amy Kirby papers 1824-1825 |url=https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/f/findaid/findaid-idx?cc=clementsead;c=clementsead;idno=umich-wcl-M-3223.13kir;didno=umich-wcl-M-3223.13kir;view=text |access-date=2020-06-23 |website=quod.lib.umich.edu}}</ref> until she returned to Hannah and Isaac Post's home after the birth of their son, Edmund, in 1825.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|41}} In late May or early June of that same year, Willetts, by then her fiance, died.<ref name="AKP" /><ref name=":23">{{Cite web|last1=B.

By September 1828, Amy Kirby married Issac Post, the widow of her late sister, Hannah, thus becoming the stepmother to Mary and Edmund.<ref name=":1"/> Amy and Issac went on to have five children—Jacob Kirby Post, Joseph W. Post, Henry Post, Willett E. Post, and Matilda Post. Henry, Edmund, and Matilda all died in childhood.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
== Quakerism and Hicksite separation ==<br />
Both Amy Kirby Post and her husband Issac post were born as [[Quakers]] (otherwise known as birthright Quakers) and were raised in the Quaker religion.<ref name=":1"/><ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|1}} Their families both were on the more liberal-leaning end of Quaker practice.<ref name=":1" /> In 1828, Quakers split into two groups: Hicksite and Orthodox. This event is known as the Separation of Friends.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|1}}Amy Kirby Post and her husband were part of the Hicksite branch until 1845, when they withdrew from their Quaker meeting in protest of a ban on members' "worldly," or non-Quaker, activism.<ref name=":23"/><ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|1}}<br />
<br />
== Activism ==<br />
Amy Kirby Post's activism has been deemed as "radical" for the 19th century by historian [[Nancy A. Hewitt]].<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|1}} Part of what makes her unique as an activist of this time period was her support of social movement work that not only included men and women but also resulted in black people and white people working together toward shared goals. [[Quakers|Quaker]] values of equality of all persons contributed to Post's approach, as did the Religious Society of Friends' (or Quaker's) belief in principles of discussion and consensus.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|2–3}} Hewitt labels Post's activism as a "commitment to universal or holistic reform," explaining that instead of focusing on one or two issues or constituencies, Post focused on concerns that sought equality across lines of race, class, and gender. Post's holistic reform also pursued democratic values, [[Freedom of religion|religious liberty]], peace, and social justice. She did not look to one movement to usher in sufficient justice, but rather recognized interlocking sites of struggle and opportunity.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|9}}<br />
<br />
When Amy and Isaac Post moved to [[Rochester, New York]] in 1836, they were able to expand their activist reach. The couple made personal connections beyond the Quaker community and benefitted from living in a booming town. Thanks to the increasing infrastructure of the [[Erie Canal]], railways, and telegraph lines, Rochester welcomed traveling lecturers and the city was the site of various conventions, protests, and movement presses.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|6}}<br />
<br />
=== Anti-slavery ===<br />
Post was especially active in abolition activism, manifesting her values both in outward organizing and by cultivating friendships with other abolitionist leaders for whom she and her husband opened their home. Post and her husband also hosted abolition meetings in their home, taking up work that some Quakers considered to be inappropriate given that abolition brought together Quakers and those outside the religion who could join forces in calling for the end of slavery.<ref name=":46">{{Cite web|title=University of Rochester Library Bulletin: Amy Kirby Post, "Of whom it was said, 'being dead, yet speaketh'" {{!}} RBSCP|url=https://rbscp.lib.rochester.edu/4018|access-date=2020-06-23|website=rbscp.lib.rochester.edu}}</ref> In 1837, Post signed her first anti-slavery petition.<ref name=":46"/> Post was a founding member of the New York Western Anti-Slavery Society, which was established in 1842.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|title=Amy Post - Women's Rights National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)|url=https://www.nps.gov/wori/learn/historyculture/amy-post.htm|access-date=2020-06-07|website=www.nps.gov|language=en}}</ref> The founding meeting of the society was chaired by [[Abby Kelley]], a former Quaker, who was at the time an agent of the [[American Anti-Slavery Society]]. The meeting drew together a wide range of attendees from various religious denominations including Baptists, Presbyterians, and Hicksite Quakers.<ref name=":46"/> Post would subsequently work alongside [[Mary Ann M'Clintock]] and Elizabeth M'Clintock to organize the first fundraising fair to end slavery in western New York, raising $300 for the cause.<ref name=":5" /><br />
<br />
[[Frederick Douglass]] was one abolitionist who Post worked with directly, and she functioned as a close advisor and friend by the middle of the 19th century.<ref name=":46"/> Amy Post and her husband both supported Douglass's efforts to spread his message through print and speaking engagements as well as his efforts to encourage Rochester to allow black citizens to take part in public schooling and other civic activities.<ref name=":1"/> Post invited Douglass to speak at the Westbury Quaker Meeting despite some considering his message to be too radical, resulting in the abolitionist only meeting with activists sympathetic to his cause. Douglass stayed with the Posts during his first visit to Rochester, and [[William Cooper Nell|William C. Nell]], who worked in Rochester to create the abolitionist newspaper ''[[The North Star (anti-slavery newspaper)|The North Star]]'', lived with Amy and Isaac Post for more than a year.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|7}}<br />
<br />
Another friend of Amy Kirby Post was [[Sojourner Truth]], who stayed at the Post home for several months in 1851 and then during various later visits to Rochester. This friendship is credited as deepening Amy and Isaac Post's commitments to abolition, women's rights, and [[Spiritualism (movement)|spiritualism]].<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|7}}<br />
<br />
A notable friend of Post was [[Harriet Jacobs]], who lived with the Posts in 1849 and 1850 after escaping enslavement in North Carolina. Jacobs disclosed to Post the horrors of her treatment while being enslaved, including having been sexually abused. Amy Kirby Post encouraged Jacobs to write about her experiences in order to expose the cruel reality of enslavement.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|7}} Post also supported Jacobs's publication, ''[[Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl]],'' by attesting to the character of the writer, an expectation for certain authors at this time.<ref name=":23"/> Post also wrote the postscript to the autobiography, using an assumed name.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=Amy Post|url=http://www.math.buffalo.edu/~sww/0history/postamy.html|access-date=2020-06-08|website=www.math.buffalo.edu}}</ref><br />

=== Women's rights ===<br />
As part of the New York Western Anti-Slavery Society fundraising fair she helped to organize in 1846, Amy Kirby Post and other women abolitionists sold copies of Reverend Samuel J. May's "Sermon on the Rights of Women," marking an early public expression of her women's rights activism.<ref name=":46"/> In 1848, Amy Kirby Post began to be involved as an organizer in the women's movement.<ref name=":46"/> Acting upon her beliefs in equality for women, she attended the [[Seneca Falls Convention]] in 1848 in [[Seneca Falls (village), New York|Seneca Falls, NY]]. She was among the one hundred women and men who signed the [[Declaration of Sentiments]], which was first presented there.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Declaration of Sentiments - Women's Rights National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)|url=https://www.nps.gov/wori/learn/historyculture/declaration-of-sentiments.htm|access-date=2020-06-23|website=www.nps.gov|language=en}}</ref><br />
[[File:Woman's Rights Convention.jpg|left|thumb|298x298px|The Declaration of Sentiments, signed by Amy Post and other attendees of the first women's rights convention held in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848.]]<br />
Two weeks later, she and several other women who had participated in the [[Seneca Falls Convention]] organized the [[Rochester Women's Rights Convention of 1848|Rochester Women's Rights Convention]] in the Post's hometown of Rochester, New York. A planning meeting chose Amy Kirby Post as temporary chair and designated a nominating committee to propose a slate of officers. The Seneca Falls Convention had followed tradition by electing a man as president of the convention. Defying tradition, the Rochester organizers proposed a woman, [[Abigail Bush]], for that position. When the convention assembled in the [[First Unitarian Church of Rochester|Rochester Unitarian Church]] on August 2, Amy Kirby Post called it to order and read the suggested slate of officers. The proposal for a woman to be president of the convention was strongly opposed by some of the leaders of the women's movement who were present, fearing that women were not yet ready to take that step.<ref name=":6">{{cite journal|author=Blake McKelvey|date=July 1948|title=Women's Rights in Rochester: A Century of Progress|url=http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v10_1948/v10i2-3.pdf|url-status=dead|journal=Rochester History|publisher=Rochester Public Library|volume=X|issue=2&3|page=5|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303231727/http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v10_1948/v10i2-3.pdf|archive-date=March 3, 2016|access-date=October 7, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Bush was elected despite the opposition, making this the first public meeting of both men and women in the United States whose presiding officer was a woman.

<br />
Amy Kirby Post had an early influence on suffragist [[Susan B. Anthony]] through her encouragement and support of women's rights activities.<ref name=":1"/> Anthony relied on Post to support petition efforts, host traveling lecturers visiting Rochester, and organize conventions.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|12}} Emboldened by information on women taxpayer's contributions to the city of Rochester, Amy Kirby Post attempted to register to vote in 1873. She and others who joined her was denied.<ref name=":6" /> Post's involvement in the [[National Woman Suffrage Association]] continued and at age 77 she was invited to speak at the thirtieth anniversary national convention held in Rochester.<ref name=":6" /><br />
<br />
=== Other activism ===<br />
Post also co-founded a local arm of the Working Women's Protective Union and advocated for health reform as a key issue related to women's empowerment.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|1}} Post served as treasurer for the union, whose work included advocating for higher wages for working women with the goal of pay parity between the sexes.<ref name=":62">{{cite journal|author=Blake McKelvey|date=July 1948|title=Women's Rights in Rochester: A Century of Progress|url=http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v10_1948/v10i2-3.pdf|url-status=dead|journal=Rochester History|publisher=Rochester Public Library|volume=X|issue=2&3|page=5|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303231727/http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v10_1948/v10i2-3.pdf|archive-date=March 3, 2016|access-date=October 7, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref><br />
<br />
Post also variously provided aid, medical care, employment, and/or housing to women who suffered abuse or abandonment by men in a more informal expression of her work to support women in need.<ref name=":46"/><br />
<br />
During the [[American Civil War|United States Civil War]], Amy Kirby Post supported National Loyal League efforts to petition for emancipation of enslaved people. She also collected materials for people who escaped enslavement and to send to "contraband" camps of formerly enslaved people who were freed by the [[Union Army]].<ref name=":46"/> The bleak conditions of these camps, chronicled by Harriet Jacobs and [[Julia Wilbur]], enabled Post to raise awareness about the encampments' inadequacies, which included insufficient food, shelter, and medical aid. Taking more direct action, the 60-year old Post visited camps in [[Washington, DC]] and in [[Alexandria, Virginia]] in 1863.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|12–13}}<br />
<br />
Calling for an end to [[capital punishment]] and to the exploitation of indigenous people were other activist causes that Amy Kirby Post directly supported during her lifetime.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|9}}<br />
<br />
== Resignation from Religious Society of Friends and later life ==<br />
Elders in the Religious Society of Friends were critical of Amy Kirby Post, accusing her of being "too worldly" in her anti-slavery activism. Not willing to slow their abolition activism, Amy Kirby Post and Isaac Post stopped attending Quaker monthly meetings and officially withdrew from fellowship with Hicksite Quakers in 1845. This shift enabled them to more fully focus on abolition work.<ref name=":46"/><br />
<br />
In 1848, the Posts took into their home the [[Fox sisters]], Kate and Margaret, who appeared to have acquired the ability to communicate with spirits through rapping noises. They introduced the girls to their circle of radical friends, and almost all became ardent believers in the emerging religion of [[Spiritualism (movement)|Spiritualism]].<ref name="winningthevote.org2"/> Writing to Amy Kirby Post about Spiritualism, acquaintance Sarah Thayer explained that the practice enabled women to direct their own and other women's spiritual life.<ref name=":46"/><br />
<br />
Amy Kirby Post survived her husband, Isaac Post, and continued to live in Rochester. By the last decade of her life, she was regarded as a notable local figure who was asked to contribute to celebrations of the city and of activist organizations to which she had contributed. She died in 1889, with friend and co-activist [[Lucy N. Colman]] providing the eulogy at her funeral service.<ref name=":46"/><br />
<br />
== Legacy ==<br />
Amy Kirby Post has been remembered for being an early model of "lifestyle politics" that blended activist efforts with daily living. These lifestyle politics included one's everyday practices of marital relations, language use, childbearing, methods of healing, choice of clothing, style of worship, and use of leisure time. Such choices could be a reflection of political commitments, and Post embraced this approach to expressing her activist commitments through her daily living and in addition to her organizing efforts. This type of activism enabled women to be as committed to political change as men even when they were denied the right to vote.<ref name=":46"/><br />
<br />
Post's activism also remains an example of an enmeshed social movement approach that advocated for multi-faceted forms of social justice rather than single-issue approaches such as abolition or women's rights that were thought to individually hold the potential to sufficiently change society.<ref name=":010"/>{{Rp|9}}<br />

<br />
The '''2024 Ohio Valley Conference Men's Basketball Tournament''' will be the final event of the [[2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season]] in the [[Ohio Valley Conference]]. The tournament is being held March 6–9, 2024 at the [[Ford Center (Evansville)|Ford Center]] in [[Evansville, Indiana]]. The tournament winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the [[2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament]].<br />
<br />
== Seeds ==<br />
Only the top eight teams in the conference qualified for the tournament. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2020-21 OVC Basketball Tiebreaker |url=http://ovcsports.com/news/2021/1/6/mens-basketball-2020-21-ovc-basketball-tiebreaker.aspx |access-date=2023-01-06 |website=ovcsports.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
If a team that is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament wins the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, the conference's automatic bid goes to the tournament runner-up. If that team is also not eligible, i.e. two ineligible teams met in the tournament final, the automatic bid goes to the highest seeded tournament-eligible semifinal loser.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://ovcsports.com/news/2024/2/22/mens-basketball-postseason-possibilities-and-opportunities.aspx | title=Postseason Possibilities and Opportunities }}</ref><br />

===Background===<br />
In May 1995, the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF, now WWE) held its [[In Your House 1|first In Your House]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards|event]]. This was the start of a series of monthly PPV shows that aired when the promotion was not holding one of its then-five major PPVs ([[WrestleMania]], [[King of the Ring]], [[SummerSlam]], [[Survivor Series]], and [[Royal Rumble]]). The [[In Your House]] shows were also sold at a lower cost than the major PPVs.<ref name=WWF9099Book>{{cite book | first=Graham | last=Cawthon | title=The History of Professional Wrestling|volume=2: WWF 1990–1999 | publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | year= 2013 | asin=B00RWUNSRS}}</ref> This second In Your House event took place on July 23, 1995, at the [[Nashville Municipal Auditorium]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. While this event was originally known simply as In Your House 2, it was later retroactively renamed as In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks. This retroactive renaming of the show was based on the main event being a [[Lumberjack match]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.profightdb.com/cards/wwf/in-your-house-2-the-lumberjacks-42.html|title=WWF In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks|publisher=The Internet Wrestling Database|access-date=February 8, 2016}}</ref><br />

Before the event went live on pay-per-view, [[Chris Candido|Skip]], who was accompanied to the ring by his [[Manager (professional wrestling)#Managers vs. valets vs. enforcers|valet]] [[Tammy Lynn Sytch|Sunny]], defeated [[Peter Polaco|Aldo Montoya]] in a [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Dark match|dark match]].<ref name=WWE-results>{{cite web|title=WWF In Your House 2 Results|url=http://www.hoffco-inc.com/wwe/ppv/ppv/iyh02.html|publisher=CompleteWWE.com|access-date=2008-07-12|archive-date=2008-07-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080725031606/http://www.hoffco-inc.com/wwe/ppv/ppv/iyh02.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Preliminary matches===<br />
The pay-per-view started with a [[Professional wrestling match types#Variations of singles matches|Singles match]] between [[Brian Girard James|the Roadie]] and [[Sean Waltman|the 1–2–3 Kid]]. 1–2–3 Kid surprised the Roadie with an attack outside the ring and had the early advantage, but the Roadie soon took control, performing a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|clothesline]], grounding Kid.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> At several points during the match, [[Jeff Jarrett]] was shown preparing for his performance of "With My Baby Tonight" in his dressing room, ignoring The Roadie's performance.<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> At the [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Finish|end of the match]], Kid missed a [[dropkick]] from the second-rope. The Roadie capitalized with a [[powerbomb]] and a [[Piledriver (professional wrestling)#Texas piledriver|piledriver]] off the top rope, allowing him to pin the Kid.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />

In the second pay-per-view match [[Men on a Mission]] ([[Viscera (wrestler)|King Mabel]] and [[Robert Horne (wrestler)|Sir Mo]]) faced [[Scott Hall (wrestler)|Razor Ramon]] and [[Savio Vega]]. Mabel and Mo had the upper hand throughout most of the match, with Mabel dominating Vega. Vega eventually managed to [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Hot tag|tag in]] Ramon, who got control and [[powerslam]]med Mabel from the top rope.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> The advantage for Ramon and Vega was short-lived, as Mabel executed an [[Professional wrestling attacks#Body avalanche|avalanche]] on Ramon in the corner, followed by a [[Suplex#Belly to belly suplex|belly to belly suplex]] to get the victory.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthontapingIYH2>{{cite web|first=Graham|last=Cawthon|title=WWF 1995 Results|url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/95.htm|publisher=The History of WWE|date=1995-07-23|access-date=2008-07-12}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the second match, [[WWE Intercontinental Champion|WWF Intercontinental Champion]] Jeff Jarrett made his live singing debut, performing the song "With My Baby Tonight". Notably, Jarrett's personal [[Enforcer (professional wrestling)|enforcer]], remained unseen during the performance.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><br />
<br />
Next, [[Bam Bam Bigelow]] squared off against [[Mark Canterbury|Henry O. Godwinn]].<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/> After several [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Near-fall|near-falls]] from both Bigelow and Godwinn, Godwinn missed a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Knee drop|knee drop]] from the second rope. Bigelow capitalized by [[Pin (professional wrestling)#Roll-up|rolling up]] Godwinn for the win. That ending was [[rushed finish|rushed]], i.e. not planned, as Godwinn had sustained a [[Legit (professional wrestling)|legit]] injury during the missed knee drop.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><br />
<br />
In the following match, Jeff Jarrett (accompanied by the Roadie) defended his Intercontinental Championship against [[Shawn Michaels]]. The match first went back and forth, with both Michaels and Jarrett taking control for certain periods. The first [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Highspot|highspot]] occurred when Jarrett [[Professional wrestling throws#Back body drop|backdropped]] Michaels over the top rope to the arena floor.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> Throughout the match, the Roadie distracted the referee, allowing Jarrett to perform illegal tactics to gain an advantage.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/> Michaels managed to escape a [[Rear naked choke#"Sleeper Hold" in professional wrestling|sleeper hold]] minutes later, gaining the upper hand in the process. After several [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Highspot|highspot moves]] by Michaels, The Roadie shook the ring-ropes while Michaels was on the top rope, grounding Michaels in the process.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonIYH2r/> Jarrett attempted to regain the advantage by performing the [[Professional wrestling holds#Figure-four leglock|Figure four leglock]], but Michaels reversed the hold into a near-fall. Jarrett went for the submission hold again, but Michaels shoved him into the [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]], sending the official to the ground. Michaels tried to seize the advantage with a [[Superkick]], but the Roadie grabbed Michaels.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/> Jarrett performed a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Plancha|Crossbody]], getting a near-fall in the process. The finish to the match came when the Roadie accidentally tripped Jarrett. Jarrett got back up only to walk into Michaels's [[Superkick]]. Michaels pinned him and became Intercontinental Champion.<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> It was revealed later in the show that Jarrett and The Roadie were involved in a backstage confrontation with each other, signaling an end to their on-screen friendship.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />

Next, [[Owen Hart and Yokozuna]], accompanied by [[Jim Cornette]] and [[Harry Fujiwara|Mr. Fuji]], defended their [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]] against [[The Allied Powers (wrestling)|the Allied Powers]] ([[Lex Luger]] and [[Davey Boy Smith|The British Bulldog]]). The challengers got the advantage early on, with Luger wearing down Yokozuna by smashing Yokozuna's head into the top turnbuckle. Yokozuna accidentally fell onto Hart's foot, sparking a confrontation between the tag team partners.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> After a few minutes, the two settled their differences, the challengers retained the advantage for much of the match. The finish came after the Allied Powers double-teamed on Yokozuna. Following a back suplex, the referee ordered Bulldog, who wasn't the legal man, out of the ring. Hart hit the distracted Luger with a [[Polish hammer|double axe handle]] from the top rope, allowing Yokozuna to pin Luger with a leg drop.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />
<br />
===Main event===<br />
This was followed by the co-main event which was a [[Professional wrestling match types#Container-based variations|Casket match]] between [[The Undertaker]] (accompanied by [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] [[Percy Pringle|Paul Bearer]]) and [[Charles Wright (wrestler)|Kama]] (accompanied by [[Ted DiBiase]]). Kama attempted to perform The Undertaker's finishing move, the [[Piledriver (professional wrestling)#Tombstone piledriver|Tombstone Piledriver]], but The Undertaker reversed it, [[chokeslam]]ming Kama. The Undertaker then performed a big boot to Kama, which sent him into the casket, meaning The Undertaker won the match.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />
<br />
[[Image:Diesel in 1994.jpg|thumb|right|[[Kevin Nash|Diesel]], who defended the [[WWF World Championship]] against Sid in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Lumberjack match|Lumberjack match]].]]<br />
In the main event, [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] defended the [[WWE Championship|WWF World Championship]] against [[Sid Eudy|Sycho Sid]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Lumberjack match|Lumberjack match]]. After back and forth action during the first few minutes, which included each wrestler being attacked by opposing lumberjacks, Diesel performed a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Suicide|suicide dive]] over the top rope onto all of Sid's lumberjacks.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/> The champion continued to attack Sid's lumberjacks, but King Mabel intervened, tossing Diesel into the steel steps.<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> Sid attempted to capitalize by performing his [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#finisher|finishing move]], the [[Powerbomb#Release Powerbomb|Powerbomb]]. Instead of pinning his opponent, Sid [[high five]]d his lumberjacks on the outside, giving Diesel time to recover and kick out at the two-count.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> After a second attempted Powerbomb by Sid was countered, the match spilled outside of the ring: Sid got into a brawl with Diesel's lumberjacks. Shawn Michaels, one of Diesel's lumberjacks hit Sid with a double axe handle off the top rope.<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> Some of Sid's lumberjacks, including [[Chris Chavis|Tatanka]] and [[Mike Rotunda|Irwin R. Schyster]], attacked Diesel, who fought them off. Diesel performed a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Big boot|big boot]], pinning Sid to retain the WWF Championship. Diesel celebrated with his lumberjacks after the match ended.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught/><ref name=cawthonIYH2r/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />
<br />
===Dark matches===<br />
There was one more match at the arena after the pay-per-view event went off the air. It was later part of the In Your House 2 video released by [[WWE Home Video#Coliseum Video|Coliseum Video]]:<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/><ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/> [[Bret Hart]] wrestled [[Carl Ouellet|Jean-Pierre Lafitte]]. Lafitte held control for most of the match, but Hart gained the advantage near the end as Lafitte missed a diving crossbody. Hart capitalized, pinning Lafitte via a [[Pin (professional wrestling)#Roll-up|roll-up]].<ref name=cawthonreportIYH2i/><br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
The pay-per-view garnered 280,000 buys, which is equivalent to a 0.7 buyrate.<ref name=buyrate/> The buyrate was down from the inaugural [[In Your House 1|In Your House]] event, which attracted 332,000 buys.<ref name=buyrate/> The buyrate was slightly better though than the King of the Ring pay-per-view, which aired the previous month and attracted 260,000 buys, equivalent to a 0.65 buyrate.<ref name=buyrate/><br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
After In Your House 2, both [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] and [[Sid Eudy|Sid]] moved on to new feuds. Diesel entered a program with the King of the Ring winner, [[Viscera (wrestler)|Mabel]], who was receiving a push at the time. The two faced for the [[WWE Championship|WWF Championship]] at [[SummerSlam (1995)|SummerSlam]]; Diesel retained the title, pinning Mabel after a [[clothesline]] off the second rope.<ref name=OnlineOnslaught-SS>{{cite web|first=Adam|last=Gutschmidt|title=SummerSlam 1995 Re-Revued|url=http://www.oowrestling.com/columns/ooldtyme/20040922.shtml|publisher=OOWrestling.com|date=2004-09-22|access-date=2008-07-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111207234555/http://www.oowrestling.com/columns/ooldtyme/20040922.shtml|archive-date=2011-12-07|url-status=dead}}</ref> The feud that was set to take shape after In Your House 2 between [[Jeff Jarrett]] and [[Brian Girard James|the Roadie]] never began, as both [[Legit (professional wrestling)|legit]] quit the WWF, with Jarrett leaving for "personal reasons".<ref name=cawthonIYH2r/> Jarrett took time off until December 1995, while the Roadie returned in late 1996.

'''Macclesfield''' is a [[Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom|constituency]]{{#tag:ref|A [[county constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} in [[Cheshire]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|UK Parliament]] since [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010]] by [[David Rutley]], a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]].{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n}}<br />
<br />
== History 1832-85 ==<br />
'''Macclesfield''' was created as a two-member parliamentary borough by the [[Reform Act 1832]]. This continued until 1880 when, after problems at the general election that year, it was decided to declare the election void and suspend the writ of election (so no by-election could take place).<br />
<br />
In September 1880 a Royal Commission was appointed to investigate further. A report of March 1881 confirmed the allegations of corruption. As a result, the borough constituency was disenfranchised, taking effect on 25 June 1885, and the town was absorbed into the [[East Cheshire (UK Parliament constituency)|East Cheshire]] constituency.<br />
<br />
== Boundaries since 1885 ==<br />
{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Macclesfield (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|frame-width=220|frame-height=220|text=Map of current boundaries}}<br />
In 1885, under the [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]], the Macclesfield constituency was recreated with extended boundaries as one of eight new divisions of the county of Cheshire. From the [[1885 United Kingdom general election|1885 general election]] it has continued to elect one MP until the present day.<br />

<br />
''Minor changes due to revision of ward boundaries.''<br />
<br />
However, before the new boundaries came into force for the 2010 election, the Borough of Macclesfield was abolished on 1 April 2009, becoming part of the new [[unitary authority]] of [[Cheshire East]]. Consequently, the constituency's boundaries are currently:<br />
<br />
The Cheshire East Borough wards of Bollington, Broken Cross & Upton, Disley, Gawsworth, Macclesfield Central, Macclesfield East, Macclesfield Hurdsfield, Macclesfield South, Macclesfield Tytherington, Macclesfield West & Ivy, Poynton East & Pott Shrigley, Poynton West & Adlington, Prestbury, and Sutton.<br />
<br />
The constituency currently covers the north-eastern part of the [[Cheshire East]] unitary authority, including the town of [[Macclesfield]] itself and the area surrounding it, such as [[Bollington]] and [[Prestbury, Cheshire|Prestbury]], as well as [[Disley]] and [[Poynton]]. Much of the constituency is commuter territory for [[Manchester]].<ref>{{cite web|title=National Rail Enquiries - Official source for UK train times and timetables|url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk|access-date=18 April 2018|website=www.nationalrail.co.uk}}</ref><br />

=== Proposed ===<br />
Further to the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]], due by January 2025, will be unchanged.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 5 North West region}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Recent political history ==<br />
Macclesfield has long been considered to be a [[safe seat]] for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], having been held by them since the [[1918 United Kingdom general election|1918 general election]].<br />
<br />
Most areas in the towns of Macclesfield itself and Bollington have leant towards Labour or the Liberal Democrats and previously the Liberal Party; Prestbury, Gawsworth, Poynton and the swathe of countryside that makes up a significant proportion of the seat have historically returned large majorities for the Conservative Party.<br />
<br />
;2017–present<br />
Since the 2017 general election, however, the constituency has been a target seat for Labour, after they achieved a 7% swing in that election.<br />
<br />
In the [[2019 United Kingdom local elections|2019 local elections]], the Conservatives lost every councillor they had in the town of Macclesfield, with Labour making significant gains in areas they had never won before. The Conservatives largely maintained their vote outside Macclesfield, except in Bollington and Disley, in which they came third behind Labour and Independent candidates.<br />
<br />
The [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 General Election]] saw a 2% swing to the Conservative Party, the national average swing was 4.5%.<br />

It returned one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) to the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
The constituency was created for the [[1918 United Kingdom general election|1918 general election]], replacing the previous [[Tunbridge (UK Parliament constituency)|Tunbridge]] constituency. It was abolished for the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 general election]], when it was replaced by the new [[Tonbridge and Malling (UK Parliament constituency)|Tonbridge and Malling]] constituency.<br />
<br />
The [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] proposes to re-establish the seat in its revised proposal.<ref>[https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/south-west/ 2023 review South West] Boundary Commission for England</ref><br />
<br />
==Boundaries==<br />
'''1918–1950''': The Borough of Royal Tunbridge Wells, the Urban Districts of Tonbridge and Southborough, and the Rural District of Tonbridge.<br />
<br />
'''1950–1974''': As 1918 but with redrawn boundaries.<br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
The proposed seat includes the commuter town of Tonbridge and its hinterland to the north, plus the smaller town of Edenbridge further west. [[Electoral Calculus]] characterises this area as "Strong Right", with right-wing economic and social views, high home ownership levels and strong support for Brexit.<ref>Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/calcwork23.py?seat=Tonbridge</ref><br />

<br />
As its name suggests the constituency is based on the town of [[Cheltenham]] in Gloucestershire, covering a different, slightly smaller area than [[Cheltenham (borough)|the borough of the same name]]. It is bordered by the [[Tewkesbury (UK Parliament constituency)|Tewkesbury]] and [[The Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|Cotswolds]] seats.<br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
Famous for its racecourse which hosts the annual [[Cheltenham Gold Cup]] in March, with a long-established [[Cheltenham Ladies' College|girls' school]] and right at the edge of the [[Cotswold Hills]], Cheltenham has a large tourism sector. [[GE Aviation]] is a large employer and [[GCHQ]], the government communications centre, is here, so numbers of highly skilled workers and professionals (47.5% in the year ended September 2014<ref name="nomis">{{cite web|title=Constituency Profile|url=http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/wpca/1929379941/report.aspx|website = nomis Constituency Profile for Cheltenham|publisher=Source: Office for National Statistics|access-date=21 February 2015}}</ref>) are well above the national average (44.6%<ref name="nomis"/>). One of the West of England's most upmarket towns, the few neighbourhoods of medium levels in the Index of Multiple Deprivation are almost wholly in Hester's Way ward which has the most [[social housing]]. About 10% {{citation needed|date=February 2015}} of the electorate are students at the [[University of Gloucestershire]] just outside the compact town centre. A Liberal Democrat served the seat from 1992 when their candidate [[Nigel Jones, Baron Jones of Cheltenham|Nigel Jones]] overturned four decades of [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] MPs to 2015 when the Tories regained the seat.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Cheltenham borough constituency was created in the [[Great Reform Act]] of 1832 and has returned nine Liberals (or Liberal Democrats) and nine Conservatives to Parliament since that time, along with one independent.<br />
<br />
A [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] served the constituency from 1950 until 1992. The Conservatives' campaign in the [[1992 United Kingdom general election|1992 general election]] following the [[Poll Tax riots]] saw a local party member make racist remarks about their own candidate, [[John Taylor, Baron Taylor of Warwick|John Taylor]], who was of [[Afro-Caribbean]] descent. Taylor lost the election to [[Nigel Jones, Baron Jones of Cheltenham|Nigel Jones]] of the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Jones was nearly murdered in a horrific incident at one of his MP's surgeries; a man attacked him and an assistant with a samurai sword. His colleague [[Andrew Pennington]] was killed in the attack. Jones was made a [[life peer]] in 2005. The Liberal Democrats held Cheltenham in the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 election]] when [[Martin Horwood]] won the election, and again in [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010]], but lost when the Conservatives retook the seat in [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015]].<br />

<br />
In 1963, Simon began performing with her sister [[Lucy Simon]] in [[the Simon Sisters]].<ref name="Hootenanny">{{cite web |work=Fort Worth Star-Telegram |title= Smothers Brothers Visit 'Hootenanny' |author=Jack Harkrider |url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/640266489/ |date=April 27, 1963 |quote=The Simon Sisters, Lucy and Carly, making their television debut, will sing "Winken, Blinken, and Nod."}}</ref> The duo released three albums, beginning with ''[[Meet the Simon Sisters]]'', which featured the song "[[Wynken, Blynken, and Nod|Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod]]". Based on the poem by [[Eugene Field]] and put to music by Lucy, the song became a minor hit and reached No. 73 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.<ref>{{cite book |first=Joel |last=Whitburn |title=Top Pop Singles 1955–1990 |isbn=0-89820-089-X |publisher=Record Research, Incorporated |date=1991}}</ref> After Lucy left the group, Carly found great success as a solo artist with her 1971 [[Carly Simon (album)|self-titled debut album]], which won her the [[Grammy Award for Best New Artist]] and spawned her first Top 10 single "[[That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be]]" (No.&nbsp;10), which earned her a [[Grammy Awards|Grammy Award]] nomination for [[Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance|Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]]. Simon's second album, ''[[Anticipation (Carly Simon album)|Anticipation]]'', followed later that year and became an even greater success; it spawned the successful singles "Anticipation" and "[[Legend in Your Own Time]]", earned her another Grammy nomination, and became her first album to be certified Gold by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]]. Simon achieved international fame with her third album, ''[[No Secrets (Carly Simon album)|No Secrets]]'' (1972), which sat at No. 1 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] for five weeks and was certified Platinum. The album spawned the worldwide hit "You're So Vain", which sat at No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for three weeks, and earned Simon three Grammy nominations, including [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year|Record of the Year]] and [[Grammy Award for Song of the Year|Song of the Year]]. The second single "The Right Thing to Do", as well as its B-side "[[The Right Thing to Do#"We Have No Secrets"|We Have No Secrets]]", were also successful. Her fourth album, ''[[Hotcakes (album)|Hotcakes]]'' (1974), soon followed and became an instant success; it reached No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200, went Gold within two weeks of release, and spawned the hit singles "Mockingbird" and "Haven't Got Time for the Pain". In 1975, Simon's fifth album, ''[[Playing Possum]]'', and the compilation, ''[[The Best of Carly Simon]]'', both appeared; the former hit the Top 10 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and spawned the hit single "[[Attitude Dancing]]" (No.&nbsp;21), and the latter eventually went 3× Platinum, becoming Simon's best-selling release.<br />
<br />
In 1977, Simon recorded "Nobody Does It Better" as the theme song to the [[List of James Bond films|Bond film]] ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', and it became a worldwide hit. The song garnered her another Grammy nomination, and was the No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit of 1977.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k0UEAAAAMBAJ&q=andy+gibb+i+just+want+to+be+your+everything&pg=PT73 |title=Billboard Easy Listening Charts Singles |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=December 24, 1977 |access-date=December 30, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626034257/https://books.google.com/books?id=k0UEAAAAMBAJ&q=andy+gibb+i+just+want+to+be+your+everything&pg=PT73%23v%3Dsnippet&q=andy+gibb+i+just+want+to+be+your+everything&f=false#v=snippet&q=andy%20gibb%20i%20just%20want%20to%20be%20your%20everything&f=false |archive-date=June 26, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Retrospectively, it has been ranked one of the greatest [[Bond theme]]s.<ref name="rollingstone.com">{{cite web |last=Greene |first=Andy |title=Carly Simon, 'Nobody Does It Better' (1977) – The Top 10 James Bond Theme Songs |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-top-10-james-bond-theme-songs-20121005/carly-simon-nobody-does-it-better-1977-19691231 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=October 5, 2012 |access-date=July 15, 2015 |archive-date=November 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125134919/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/the-top-10-james-bond-theme-songs-156035/carly-simon-nobody-does-it-better-1977-173674/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="billboard/jamesbondthemesongs.com">{{cite magazine |last=Letkemann |first=Jessica |title=Top 10 James Bond Theme Songs Ever |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/chartbeat/474775/top-10-james-bond-theme-songs-ever?page=0%2C1 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=October 5, 2012 |access-date=August 31, 2014 |archive-date=February 28, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130228225846/http://www.billboard.com/articles/chartbeat/474775/top-10-james-bond-theme-songs-ever?page=0%2C1 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="usabond">{{cite web |last=Ruggieri |first=Melissa |title=James Bond theme songs: We rank the exceptional and unremarkable, from Adele to Madonna |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2021/10/08/james-bond-theme-songs-ranked-adele-carly-simon-billie-eilish/6027596001/ |newspaper=[[USA Today]] |date=October 8, 2021 |access-date=October 8, 2021 |archive-date=October 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211008152717/https://eu.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2021/10/08/james-bond-theme-songs-ranked-adele-carly-simon-billie-eilish/6027596001/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Simon began recording more songs for films in the 1980s, including "Coming Around Again" for the film ''[[Heartburn (film)|Heartburn]]'' (1986).

He also singled out "Our First Day Together" as "a quiet song, lovely and quite enigmatic, with a trace of the minor chord influence of [[Joni Mitchell]]," as well as "I've Got To Have You", which he described as "an absolute clincher."<ref>{{cite web |last=Davis |first=Stephen |title=Anticipation review |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/anticipation-19711223 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=December 23, 1971 |access-date=November 7, 2011 |archive-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807041418/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/anticipation-19711223 |url-status=live}}</ref> On her experience of recording the album, Simon later said: "It was one of the best memories I shall ever have of recording. I had a band. The entire album was just that band ([[Andy Newmark]], Jimmy Ryan, Paul Glanz) and myself. [[Cat Stevens]] did some vocals and there were strings on a few songs, but on the whole, it was sparse, and I loved it."<ref name=carlysimontimeline70s>{{cite web |website=Carlysimon.com |url=https://www.carlysimon.com/timeline/HerWords2.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070831183740/http://www.carlysimon.com/timeline/HerWords2.htm |archive-date=August 31, 2007 |title=Timeline 70's |access-date=March 18, 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref><br />

The album's lead single, also titled "[[Anticipation (song)|Anticipation]]", became a significant hit, reaching No. 3 at Easy Listening radio and No. 13 on ''Billboard's'' Pop singles chart.

===1972–1974: ''No Secrets'', "You're So Vain", and ''Hotcakes''===<br />
[[File:Carly Simon (1972) press photo.jpg|thumb|left|alt=Simon smiling b&w|1972 press photo]]<br />
Simon scored the biggest success of her career in 1972–73 with "[[You're So Vain]]". The single hit No. 1 on the U.S. Pop and [[Adult Contemporary (chart)|Adult Contemporary]] charts, sold over a million copies in the United States alone, and became one of the decade's biggest hits. The song's success propelled Simon's breakthrough album, ''[[No Secrets (Carly Simon album)|No Secrets]]'', to No. 1 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart for five consecutive weeks. The album achieved [[Music recording certification|Gold]] status that year, and by its 25th anniversary in 1997, it had been certified [[Music recording certification|Platinum]].<ref name="riaa.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS&artist=%22Simon,%20Carly%22&format=Album&go=Search&perPage=25 |title=Gold & Platinum Searchable Database – July 15, 2015 |publisher=[[Recording Industry Association of America]] |access-date=July 15, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906075140/http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |archive-date=September 6, 2014}}</ref> "You're So Vain" received nominations for [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year|Record of the Year]], [[Grammy Award for Song of the Year|Song of the Year]] and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female at the [[16th Annual Grammy Awards]],<ref name="Gram"/> where ''No Secrets'' also earned a nomination for [[Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical|Best Engineered Recording]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Bill Schnee |url=https://www.grammy.com/artists/bill-schnee/16013 |publisher=[[The Recording Academy]] |access-date=October 30, 2021 |archive-date=March 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320163459/https://www.grammy.com/artists/bill-schnee/16013 |url-status=live}}</ref> Additionally, it was inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in 2004 and was listed at No. 72 in 2008 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]'s list of the top 100 songs from the chart's first 50 years, August 1958 through July 2008.<ref name=billboardalltime>{{cite web |title=Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Songs |url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/2008/billboard100.htm |publisher=Rock on the Net |access-date=June 16, 2014 |archive-date=February 10, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140210024650/http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/2008/billboard100.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> On August 23, 2014, the [[Official Charts Company|UK Official Charts Company]] gave it the accolade of 'ultimate song of the 1970s'.<ref name=officialcharts>{{cite web |last=Mayers |first=Justin |title=Official Charts Pop Gem #70: Carly Simon – You're So Vain |url=http://www.officialcharts.com/features/official-charts-pop-gem-70-carly-simon-youre-so-vain-3071/ |publisher=[[Official Charts Company]] |date=August 23, 2014 |access-date=August 31, 2014 |archive-date=April 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150405005354/http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/official-charts-pop-gem-70-carly-simon-youre-so-vain__7719/ |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2021, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it No. 495 on their list of the [[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time|500 Greatest Songs of All Time]].<ref name=rollingstone500>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/carly-simon-youre-so-vain-1224842/ |title=The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time > You're So Vain |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=September 15, 2021 |access-date=July 24, 2022 |archive-date=June 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220624000703/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/carly-simon-youre-so-vain-1224842 |url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
The subject of "You're So Vain" became one of the biggest mysteries in popular music, with the famous lyric "You're so vain/I bet you think this song is about you". For more than 40 years, Simon never publicly revealed the name of the subject.<ref name="You'resoVain">{{cite web |website=Carlysimon.com |url=http://www.carlysimon.com/You're_So_Vain.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090209193126/http://carlysimon.com/vain/vain.html |archive-date=February 9, 2009 |title=You're So Vain |access-date=August 21, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> She hinted that it could be a composite of several people, with most press speculation considering [[Mick Jagger]], who sings backup vocals on the recording,<ref>{{cite web |last=Wilkening |first=Matthew |title=Secret Guests in Rock Songs |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/mick-jagger-songs-with-secret-guests/ |publisher=Ultimate Classic Rock |date=April 21, 2013 |access-date=August 29, 2014 |archive-date=April 20, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140420165914/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/mick-jagger-songs-with-secret-guests/ |url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Warren Beatty]]. Simon hinted the identity to a variety of talk shows and publications over the years, and, on August 5, 2003, auctioned off the information to the winner of a charity function for US$50,000, with the condition that the winner, television executive [[Dick Ebersol]], not reveal it.<ref name="You'resoVain"/> Finally, in November 2015, Simon, promoting her about-to-be-published memoir, said, "I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren" and added that while "Warren thinks the whole thing is about him", he is the subject only of that verse, with the remainder of the song referring to two other, still unnamed men.<ref name=people-11-2015>{{cite news |url=https://people.com/books/carly-simon-says-youre-so-vain-second-verse-is-about-warren-beatty/ |title=Carly Simon Says 'You're So Vain' Is About Warren Beatty – Well, Only the Second Verse: 'He Thinks the Whole Thing Is About Him!' |work=[[People (magazine)|People]] |first1=Kathy Erich |last1=Dowd |first2=Kim |last2=Hubbard |date=November 18, 2015 |access-date=November 18, 2015 |archive-date=April 26, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220426144127/https://people.com/books/carly-simon-says-youre-so-vain-second-verse-is-about-warren-beatty/ |url-status=live}}</ref><br />

The single's B-side, "[[The Right Thing to Do#"We Have No Secrets"|We Have No Secrets]]", also became noteworthy; ''Rolling Stone'' critic [[Stephen Holden]] regarded the track as exemplifying the theme of ''No Secrets'', which he saw as the "difficulty of being happy," by "painfully" expressing "the realization that emotion and rationalization are often irreconcilable."<ref>{{cite web |last=Holden |first=Stephen |title=No Secrets review |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/no-secrets-19730104 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=January 4, 1973 |access-date=November 7, 2011 |archive-date=May 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516151915/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/no-secrets-122169/ |url-status=live}}</ref> That same year, Simon performed on [[Lee Clayton (musician)|Lee Clayton]]'s self-titled album and co-sang on the song "New York Suite 409".<ref>{{cite web |title=Lee Clayton |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/lee-clayton-mw0000083133 |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=August 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814032845/https://www.allmusic.com/album/lee-clayton-mw0000083133 |url-status=live}}</ref> She also performed on brother-in-law [[Livingston Taylor]]'s album ''[[Over the Rainbow (Livingston Taylor album)|Over the Rainbow]]'', and sang with both Livingston and his famous brother James on the songs "Loving Be My New Horizon" and "[[Oh, Pretty Woman|Pretty Woman]]".<ref>{{cite web |last=Sullivan |first=Denise |title=Livingston Taylor – Over the Rainbow |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/over-the-rainbow-mw0000601654 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=November 30, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211130113352/https://www.allmusic.com/album/over-the-rainbow-mw0000601654 |url-status=live}}</ref><br />

<br />
In 1974, Simon followed the hugely successful ''No Secrets'' album with ''[[Hotcakes (album)|Hotcakes]]'', which became an instant hit. It reached No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200, remained on the chart for nearly eight months, and went Gold. ''Hotcakes'' included two top ten singles: "[[Mockingbird (Inez & Charlie Foxx song)#Carly Simon and James Taylor version|Mockingbird]]", a duet with James Taylor that peaked at No. 5 on ''Billboard's'' Pop Singles chart, and "[[Haven't Got Time for the Pain]]", which hit No. 2 on ''Billboard's'' Adult Contemporary chart. The album was also well received critically; [[Jon Landau]], writing in ''Rolling Stone'', stated "''Hotcakes'' is playful-sounding with some serious overtones — a balance that best suits [Simon] for the time being." He also singled out the tracks "Think I'm Gonna Have a Baby", "Forever My Love", and "Haven't Got Time for the Pain" as "substantial songs and performances, superior to almost everything else she has so far recorded."<ref>{{cite web |last=Landau |first=Jon |title=Hotcakes review |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/hotcakes-19740606 |publisher=Rolling Stone |date=June 6, 1974 |access-date=July 4, 2014 |archive-date=May 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516160620/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/hotcakes-246313/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The same year, Simon provided vocals on [[Tom Rush]]'s album ''[[Ladies Love Outlaws (Tom Rush album)|Ladies Love Outlaws]]'' and co-sang with [[Tom Rush|Rush]] on "No Regrets" and as backup on "Claim on Me".<ref>{{cite web |last=Chrispell |first=James |title=Tom Rush – Ladies Love Outlaws |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/ladies-love-outlaws-mw0000883814 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=December 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211211225427/https://www.allmusic.com/album/ladies-love-outlaws-mw0000883814 |url-status=live}}</ref><br />

Simon's ''[[Playing Possum]]'' (1975) and ''[[Another Passenger]]'' (1976) continued her run of high-profile and generally well-received album releases. ''Playing Possum'' hit the Top 10 on the ''Billboard'' 200, and garnered a successful Top 40 single with "[[Attitude Dancing]]", as well as two other charting singles, but its racy album cover, which depicts Simon wearing only a black negligee and knee-high black boots, generated controversy.<ref>{{cite web |author=Weller, Sheila |url=http://www.girlslikeusthemusic.com/2010/08/girls-like-us-chapter-fifteen.html |title=(Page 446) Carly and James record in L.A. |publisher=Girls Like Us (The Music) |access-date=August 21, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324005937/http://www.girlslikeusthemusic.com/2010/08/girls-like-us-chapter-fifteen.html |archive-date=March 24, 2012 }}</ref> It was nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best Recording Package|Best Album Package]] at the [[18th Annual Grammy Awards]].<ref name=awardsandshows.com>{{cite web |title=Grammy Awards 1976 |url=http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1976-224.html |website=Awards&Shows.com |access-date=April 11, 2015 |archive-date=October 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008173018/http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1976-224.html |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1991, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it No. 20 on their list of the 100 greatest album covers.<ref name="rateyourmusic.com">{{cite web |url=http://rateyourmusic.com/list/fedderedder/rolling_stones_100_greatest_album_covers/ |title=Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Album Covers |publisher=Rate Your Music |date=November 14, 1991 |access-date=July 15, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120715074737/http://rateyourmusic.com/list/fedderedder/rolling_stones_100_greatest_album_covers/ |archive-date=July 15, 2012}}</ref> Shortly after the release of ''Playing Possom'', Elektra released her first greatest hits album, ''[[The Best of Carly Simon]]''.

In 1977, Simon had an international hit with the million-selling Gold single "[[Nobody Does It Better]]", the theme to the ''[[James Bond]]'' film ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me (film)|The Spy Who Loved Me]]''. The song, her second-biggest U.S. hit after "You're So Vain", was 1977's biggest Adult Contemporary hit, where it held No. 1 for seven consecutive weeks. The single peaked one step behind [[Debby Boone]]'s hugely successful hit "[[You Light Up My Life (song)|You Light Up My Life]]" on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Pop Singles chart from October 22 to November 5, 1977, and received nominations for [[Grammy Award for Song of the Year|Song of the Year]] and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female at the [[20th Annual Grammy Awards]].

Simon's career took another upward swing in 1978 with the Top 10 album ''[[Boys in the Trees]]''. The album produced two Top 40 singles: the jazzy and sensual "[[You Belong to Me (Carly Simon song)|You Belong to Me]]" (written with Michael McDonald), which hit the Top 10 on both the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts, and "[[Devoted to You (song)#Carly Simon and James Taylor version|Devoted to You]]", a duet with James Taylor which hit No. 2 on ''Billboard's'' Adult Contemporary chart. ''Boys in the Trees'' was a major success, and returned Simon to Platinum album status in the U.S. "You Belong to Me" later earned Simon yet another nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female at the [[21st Annual Grammy Awards]], where the album also won Best Album Package.<ref name=carlysimonawards>{{cite web |website=Carlysimon.com |url=http://www.carlysimon.com/timeline/Awards.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071019020216/http://www.carlysimon.com/timeline/Awards.shtml |archive-date=October 19, 2007 |title=Awards |access-date=March 18, 2015}}</ref> She was featured on the front covers of ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' and ''Rolling Stone'' magazines that year.<ref>{{cite web |last=Jerome |first=Jim |magazine=[[People (magazine)|People]] |title=Carly's Road to Success |date=July 17, 1978 |url=https://people.com/archive/cover-story-carlys-road-to-success-vol-10-no-3/ |access-date=May 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317050032/https://people.com/archive/cover-story-carlys-road-to-success-vol-10-no-3/ |archive-date=March 17, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> Also in 1978, Simon and Taylor sang backing vocals on two songs for Taylor's sister [[Kate Taylor|Kate]]'s album ''[[Kate Taylor (album)|Kate Taylor]]'': "Happy Birthday Sweet Darling" and "Jason & Ida".<ref>{{cite web |title=Kate Taylor |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/kate-taylor-mw0000555945 |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=November 30, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211130033304/https://www.allmusic.com/album/kate-taylor-mw0000555945 |url-status=live}}</ref> They sang backup on three songs on [[John Hall (New York politician)|John Hall]]'s debut solo album ''[[John Hall (album)|John Hall]]'': "The Fault", "Good Enough", and "Voyagers".<ref>{{cite web |title=John Hall |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/john-hall-mw0000844547 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=December 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211211170754/https://www.allmusic.com/album/john-hall-mw0000844547 |url-status=live}}</ref> They also sing backup on one song, "Power", from Hall's next album, also titled ''[[Power (John Hall album)|Power]]'' (1979).<ref>{{cite web |title=John Hall – Power |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/power-mw0001878939 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129103812/https://www.allmusic.com/album/power-mw0001878939 |url-status=live}}</ref><br />

On November 2, 1978, Simon guested on the song "I Live in the Woods" at a live, four-hour concert by [[Burt Bacharach]] and the [[Houston Symphony|Houston Symphony Orchestra]] at Jones Hall in [[Houston]], Texas. All the songs at that concert became Bacharach's album ''[[Woman (Burt Bacharach album)|Woman]]'', which was released in 1979.<ref>{{cite web |title=Burt Bacharach – Woman |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/woman-mw0000564487 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=August 21, 2014 |archive-date=July 13, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713044634/http://www.allmusic.com/album/woman-mw0000564487 |url-status=live}}</ref> That year, shortly after the [[Three Mile Island accident|Three Mile Island]] nuclear accident, from September 19 to 22, a series of concerts were held at New York City's [[Madison Square Garden]] and sponsored by [[Musicians United for Safe Energy]] (MUSE), a group of musicians against nuclear power, co-founded by John Hall.

In 1979, Simon released her eighth studio album: ''[[Spy (Carly Simon album)|Spy]]''.

===1980–1981: Move to Warner Bros, ''Come Upstairs'', "Jesse", and ''Torch''===<br />
In 1980, Simon signed with Elektra's sibling label [[Warner Bros. Records]] and released her ninth studio album: ''[[Come Upstairs]]''.

Following the major commercial and critical success of "Jesse", Simon's singles became generally less successful in the mid-1980s, although most of them did well on Adult Contemporary radio formats.

Simon's 10th release, ''[[Torch (Carly Simon album)|Torch]]'' (1981), was an album of melancholy jazz standards, recorded long before it became fashionable for rock artists to delve into the "great American songbook".

'''Frank Duncan Riggs''' (September 5, 1950 – December 20, 2023) was an American U.S. army veteran, law enforcement officer, charter school executive, and Republican politician from the states of [[California]] and [[Arizona]]. He served three terms in the [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. House of Representatives]] during the 1990s.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Frank Riggs was born in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], on September 5, 1950.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CDIR-1997-06-04/pdf/CDIR-1997-06-04-CA-H-1.pdf|title=CALIFORNIA 105th Congress|page=33|website=Gpo.gov|access-date=25 April 2018}}</ref> He served in the [[United States Army]] from 1972 to 1975.<ref name="bioguide">{{CongBio|R000252|inline=1}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
An Army veteran, having served as a Military Police officer, Riggs worked as a police officer and deputy sheriff in [[Santa Barbara, California]], and [[Sonoma County, California|Sonoma County]], respectively. He was a member of the [[Windsor Unified School District]] Board of Trustees from 1984 to 1988 and was a real estate executive and owner of his own development company for over 20 years.<ref name="bioguide"/><br />
<br />
In 1999, Riggs joined the board of the Charter Schools Development Corporation, and served with CSDC until 2012. During his service, CSDC went from being a start-up nonprofit to a national leader in financing and developing educational facilities for [[charter schools]], reaching $125 million in assets, and procuring and leveraging private capital for facility acquisitions and improvements worth $680 million; representing over four million square feet of facilities for 235 charter schools in 25 states.<br />
<br />
In 2001, he moved to Arizona.<ref name="sonoranewsgovernor">Linda Bentley, [http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2014/140806/news-governor.html Field of six vying for governor in Republican Primary], ''[[Sonoran News]]'', August 06, 2014</ref> He served as CEO of ABS School Services of Phoenix, which provides financial accounting and business management services to approximately 200 school district charter, private, and federal grant schools. Riggs was also the founding board president for Arizona Connections Academy, a statewide on-line charter school. He resided in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] for 14 years.<br />
<br />
===California Congressman===<br />
Riggs was elected to the [[United States House of Representatives]] as a Republican in 1990 from California's 1st District, narrowly defeating four-term [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Douglas H. Bosco|Doug Bosco]]. He represented the area stretching from [[Napa County]] to the northern Pacific coast. He served in the 102nd, 104th, and 105th Congresses. During his service, he was on the [[House Appropriations Committee]] (including the Agriculture and the Energy and Water Development Subcommittees), the House Transportation and Public Works Committee, and the House Banking and Financial Affairs Committee.<br />
<br />
Riggs also served on the House Education and Workforce Committee and chaired the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and Families in the 105th Congress. In that capacity, he authored the Charter School Expansion Act (signed into law by P↑resident [[Bill Clinton]] in October, 1998) which provides federal start-up grants to newly formed charter schools to help defray their initial operating expenses.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sullivan |first=Nick |title=Frank Riggs, former CA congressman, AZ superintendent hopeful who touted charter schools, dies |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/2023/12/22/frank-riggs-obituary-helped-expand-arizona-charter-school-system/72011890007/ |access-date=2023-12-24 |newspaper=The Arizona Republic |language=en-US}}</ref><br />
Most Arizona charter schools have received federal start-up grants as a result of Riggs' legislation.<br />
<br />
Riggs voted against the [[Gulf War]] resolution and, as a member of the [[Gang of Seven]], a group of freshman Republican congressmen, favored identifying publicly the congressmen who made overdrafts at the [[Congressional Post Office scandal|House Bank]]. He was defeated in 1992 by Democrat [[Daniel Hamburg|Dan Hamburg]] but won a rematch in 1994.<br />
<br />
In 1996, he won re-election over Democrat [[Michela Alioto-Pier]] by about four percentage points.<ref>[http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/1996election.pdf 1996 election results]</ref><br />
<br />
===California U.S. Senate campaign===<br />
{{Main|1998 United States Senate election in California}} <br />
In 1998, Riggs faced a potentially competitive contest against State Senator [[Mike Thompson (California politician)|Mike Thompson]], who was due to be [[term limit|termed out]] of his seat. Thompson's state senate district was virtually coextensive with the congressional district. Riggs decided not to run for re-election. Instead, he ran for the Republican nomination for the [[United States Senate election in California, 1998|United States Senate]]. A late entrant, he dropped out of the race before Election Day but still finished in fifth place (the fourth place Republican) in the state's open primary system. The nomination was won by State Treasurer [[Matt Fong]], who went on to lose the general election to [[Barbara Boxer]], seeking her second term in the Senate. Meanwhile, Thompson easily won the congressional race.<br />
<br />
===Arizona campaigns===<br />
{{Main|2014 Arizona gubernatorial election}}<br />
In [[Arizona gubernatorial election, 2006|2005]], he explored a run for governor, as most Arizona Republicans were deciding not to challenge popular Governor [[Janet Napolitano]] for reelection the following year. However, he discovered that he had to be a five-year resident of Arizona in order to run for governor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://roselawgroupreporter.com/2014/01/former-california-congressman-run-arizona-governor/|title=Former California congressman to run for Arizona governor - Rose Law Group Reporter|date=23 January 2014|website=Roselawgroupreporter.com|access-date=25 April 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
In [[Arizona gubernatorial election, 2014|2014]], he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for [[Governor of Arizona]], finishing last in the Republican primary with less than five percent of the vote.<ref name="sonoranewsgovernor"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://azstarnet.com/news/state-and-regional/former-california-congressman-joins-gop-race-for-az-governor/article_34a3540f-0555-5209-b04f-fae9c6c6ceb5.html|title=Former California congressman joins GOP race for AZ governor|date=January 23, 2014|access-date=January 30, 2014|work=[[Arizona Daily Star]]|first=Howard|last=Fischer}}</ref><br />
<br />
In [[Arizona elections, 2016|2016]], Riggs created an exploratory candidacy for the [[Arizona Corporation Commission]],<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://roselawgroupreporter.com/2016/01/frank-riggs-launches-exploratory-candidacy-for-arizona-corporation-commissioner/ |title = Frank Riggs Launches Exploratory Candidacy for Arizona Corporation Commissioner|date = 2016-01-20}}</ref> but ultimately did not run for the position.<br />
<br />
===Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction campaign===<br />
{{Main|2018 Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction election}}<br />
In the [[Arizona elections, 2018|2018]] Arizona Republican primary election, Riggs ran for state Superintendent of Public Instruction against college professor Dr. Bob Branch, incumbent [[Diane Douglas]], former Basis Charter Schools Director of Charter School Development Jonathan Gelbart, and former public school teacher Tracy Livingston.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/arizona/articles/2017-04-18/republican-democrat-join-race-for-arizona-schools-chief |title=Republican, Democrat Join Race for Arizona Schools Chief |publisher=U.S. News |agency=Associated Press |access-date=April 18, 2017 |date=April 18, 2017}}</ref> A week after the election in which Riggs traded the lead with Dr. Branch several times, Riggs came out ahead by only 249 votes. However, he lost the race to Democrat [[Kathy Hoffman]] in the November 6, 2018, general election.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2018/09/05/riggs-wins-spi-republican-nomination-with-slim-margin-of-victory/|title=Riggs wins SPI Republican nomination with slim margin of victory|date=September 5, 2018|access-date=September 5, 2018|work=[[Arizona Capitol Times]]|first=Katie|last=Campbell}}</ref><br />

'''Stirling and Falkirk Burghs''' was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1918, comprising the burghs of [[Stirling]], [[Falkirk]] and [[Grangemouth]]. It ceased to be a [[District of burghs (UK Parliament)|District of Burghs]] in 1950, but a constituency of the same name covering the same burghs continued in existence. In 1974 it became '''Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth'''. This was in turn abolished in 1983; it was the last British constituency (apart from those including islands) to consist of non-contiguous parts.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}<br />

The [[Representation of the People Act 1918]] provided that the constituency was to consist of the burghs of Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth.<ref>Representation of the People Act 1918, Schedule 9, Part I.</ref><br />

'''Stirling and Falkirk Burghs''' was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1918, comprising the burghs of [[Stirling]], [[Falkirk]] and [[Grangemouth]]. It ceased to be a [[District of burghs (UK Parliament)|District of Burghs]] in 1950, but a constituency of the same name covering the same burghs continued in existence. In 1974 it became '''Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth'''. This was in turn abolished in 1983; it was the last British constituency (apart from those including islands) to consist of non-contiguous parts.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}<br />

'''Stirling and Falkirk Burghs''' was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1918, comprising the burghs of [[Stirling]], [[Falkirk]] and [[Grangemouth]]. It ceased to be a [[District of burghs (UK Parliament)|District of Burghs]] in 1950, but a constituency of the same name covering the same burghs continued in existence. In 1974 it became '''Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth'''. This was in turn abolished in 1983; it was the last British constituency (apart from those including islands) to consist of non-contiguous parts.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}<br />

'''Bute and Northern Ayrshire ''' was a [[county constituency]] of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1918 to 1983. It elected one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] voting system.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The constituency was formed by combining [[Buteshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Buteshire]] (which historically included the islands of [[Isle of Arran|Arran]], [[Great Cumbrae]] and [[Little Cumbrae]]) with part of [[North Ayrshire (UK Parliament constituency)|North Ayrshire]]. The rest of Ayrshire North was merged into [[Kilmarnock (UK Parliament constituency)|Kilmarnock]].<br />
<br />
In 1918 the constituency consisted of "The county of Bute, inclusive of all burghs, situated therein, and the county district of Northern Ayr, inclusive of all burghs situated therein except insofar as included in the [[Ayr Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Ayr District of Burghs]]".<br />
<br />
In 1950 some of the constituency was transferred to the then new constituency of [[Central Ayrshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Central Ayrshire]].<br />
<br />
In 1983, Bute and Northern Ayrshire was divided between [[Argyll and Bute (UK Parliament constituency)|Argyll and Bute]] and [[Cunninghame North (UK Parliament constituency)|Cunninghame North]].<br />

'''Edinburgh West''' is a [[burgh constituency]] of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]], first contested at the [[1885 United Kingdom general election|1885 general election]].{{refn|group=n| As with all extant examples of constituencies nationwide (since 1955) it elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post system]] of election.}}<br />
<br />
Prior to the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 general election]], the boundaries were the same as the [[Edinburgh West (Scottish Parliament constituency)|eponymous constituency]] of the [[Scottish Parliament]], which had been created in 1999.<br />
<br />
This commuter belt seat, distinctively in the city, was [[Unionist Party (Scotland)|Unionist]]/[[Scottish Conservatives|Conservative]] for over 65 years, from the [[1931 United Kingdom general election|1931 general election]] until the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]], although the Liberal/SDP Alliance and later the Liberal Democrats repeatedly came close to winning in the 1980s and early 1990s. After 1997, the seat was held by the [[Scottish Liberal Democrats|Liberal Democrats]] until the [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015 general election]]. The [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) between the 2015 and 2017 general elections was [[Michelle Thomson]], who was elected for the [[Scottish National Party]] (SNP) in May 2015. In September 2015, she resigned the party whip and sat as an [[Independent politician|Independent]]. Thomson chose not to seek reelection either for the SNP or as an Independent candidate.<ref name="bbc.co.uk">{{cite web|title=Nicola Sturgeon learned of SNP MP allegations from Sunday newspaper|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-34405503|website=BBC News|access-date=1 October 2015}}</ref> At the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 general election]], [[Christine Jardine]] of the [[Scottish Liberal Democrats|Liberal Democrats]] gained the seat with a majority of 2,988 votes.<br />
<br />
The seat has been relative to others a marginal seat since 2005, as the winner's majority has not exceeded 8.2% of the vote since the 30% majority won in that year. The seat has changed hands twice electorally since that year and once through resigning the party whip.<br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
This is an affluent, left-leaning and pro-European seat<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Edinburgh+West |title=Edinburgh West: Seat Details |website=Electoral Calculus}}</ref> covering the northwestern portion of Edinburgh. It is mostly suburban, but takes in rural areas within the [[City of Edinburgh (council area)|council area]] including Kirkliston and South Queensferry. [[Edinburgh Airport]] and [[Murrayfield Stadium]] are within the seat.<br />

<br />
The seat was created when the [[Edinburgh (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh]] constituency was abolished, in 1885, replaced by four seats: [[Edinburgh East (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh East]], [[Edinburgh Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh Central]], [[Edinburgh South (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh South]] and Edinburgh West. The Central constituency was abolished in 2005. The East constituency was abolished in 1997, but a new Edinburgh East was created in 2005. The South and West constituencies have been in continuous use (with alterations to boundaries) since 1885.<br />
<br />
Before the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 general election]], the seat was one of six covering the [[City of Edinburgh council area]]. Five were entirely within the city council area. One, [[Edinburgh East and Musselburgh (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh East and Musselburgh]], straddled the boundary with the [[East Lothian council area]] to take in [[Musselburgh]].<br />
<br />
Constituency boundaries were revised for the 2005 election: Edinburgh West was enlarged, to include an area formerly within Edinburgh Central, and became one of five seats covering the city area.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/5th%20report/index.htm |title=Fifth Periodical Review |website=[[Boundary Commission for Scotland]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009160559fw_/http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/5th%20report/index.htm |archive-date=9 October 2007}}</ref><br />
<br />
From 1997 to 2007 the seat comprised the following wards: [[Cramond]], [[Dalmeny and Kirkliston]], [[Davidson's Mains]], [[East Craigs]], [[Gyle]], [[Muirhouse and Drylaw]], [[Murrayfield]], [[North East Corstorphine]], [[South Queensferry|Queensferry]], [[South East Corstorphine]] and [[Stenhouse, Edinburgh|Stenhouse]].<br />
<br />
As of 2007, as a result of the [[Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004]], none of the new Edinburgh wards were wholly within the constituency. [[Almond (Edinburgh ward)|Almond]] and [[Corstorphine/Murrayfield (Edinburgh ward)|Corstorphine/Murrayfield]] are almost entirely within it except for a small corner of each one. The constituency also includes a majority of [[Drum Brae/Gyle (Edinburgh ward)|Drum Brae/Gyle]], a minority of [[Pentland Hills (Edinburgh ward)|Pentland Hills]] and small sections of [[Forth (Edinburgh ward)|Forth]], [[Inverleith (Edinburgh ward)|Inverleith]], [[City Centre (Edinburgh ward)|City Centre]] and [[Sighthill/Gorgie (Edinburgh ward)|Sighthill/Gorgie]].<br />

==Career==<br />
Coleman qualified as a physician in 1970 and worked as a GP. In 1981, the [[Department of Health and Social Security]] (DHSS) fined him for refusing to write the diagnoses on [[sick note]]s, which he considered a breach of [[patient confidentiality]].<ref>{{cite web |title=ATV Today: 08.07.1981: Sick Notes |url=https://www.macearchive.org/films/atv-today-08071981-sick-notes |website=MaceArchive.org |date=23 June 2017 |publisher=ATV |access-date=23 August 2021}}</ref> <br />
<br />
After publishing his first book, ''The Medicine Men'', in 1976, which accused the [[National Health Service]] of being controlled by pharmaceutical companies, Coleman left the NHS.<ref name="independent" /><ref name="johnson2004">{{Cite news|last=Johnson|first=Rachel|date=6 March 2004|title=You have been warned, Mr Blair|newspaper=The Spectator|location=London|url=https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/you-have-been-warned-mr-blair|access-date=24 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Khashimova Long|first1=Katherine|date=28 January 2021|title=Amazon algorithms promote vaccine misinformation, UW study says|agency=The Seattle Times|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-algorithms-promote-vaccine-misinformation-uw-study-says/|access-date=6 February 2021}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Coleman has since written under multiple pen names; in the late 1970s, he published three novels about life as a GP under the name Edward Vernon.<ref>Tickety Tonk (Vernon Coleman's Diaries), Blue Books, 2019</ref><br />
<br />
In 1987 Coleman appeared on the Central Weekend Programme as a sceptic against [[jogging]] for fitness.<ref>{{cite web |title=Central Weekend [Programme 043] |url=https://www.macearchive.org/films/central-weekend-programme-043 |website=MaceArchive.org |date=23 June 2017 |publisher=Central Television |access-date=23 August 2021}}</ref><br />
An anti-vivisectionist, Coleman provided a supplementary memorandum for the [[House of Lords]] on the topic of [[vivisection]] in 1993.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200102/ldselect/ldanimal/999/2021212.htm | title=Supplementary memorandum by Professor Vernon Coleman | publisher=UK Parliament, Select Committee on Animals In Scientific Procedures - Minutes of Evidence |date=2002}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1994 Coleman was ordered to pay damages for threatening scientist [[Colin Blakemore]], who had been targeted by [[Anti-vivisectionism|anti-vivisection]] activists after a [[letter bomb]] sent by animal rights group calling itself 'The Justice Department' was sent to Blakemore's home, with another exploding and injuring three people. Blakemore was later granted a temporary injunction by a [[High Court judge (England and Wales)|High Court judge]] after Coleman had said he would publish a pamphlet with Blakemore's home address and telephone number to encourage the public to 'get in touch with you to discuss your work'. Coleman was ordered not to publish anything that might jeopardize Colin Blakemore's safety and to give [[solicitor]]s the names of anyone to whom he might already have given the information.<ref>{{cite news|date=3 August 1994|title=Animal rights man restrained|work=The Guardian|location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Schoon|first=Nicholas|date=3 August 1994|title=Scientist wins right to keep address secret: Professor hounded by anti-vivisectionists wins court battle with journalist|work=The Independent|location=London|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/scientist-wins-right-to-keep-address-secret-professor-hounded-by-anti-vivisectionists-wins-court-1381039.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220811/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/scientist-wins-right-to-keep-address-secret-professor-hounded-by-anti-vivisectionists-wins-court-1381039.html |archive-date=11 August 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=22 March 2020}}</ref><br />

In 1995, Coleman published the book ''How to Stop Your Doctor Killing You'', which the Advertising Standards Authority later subjected to an advertisement ban.<ref name="asa-publishing-house-CS_39900">{{cite news |date=30 May 2007 |title=ASA Non-broadcast Adjudication: Publishing House; complaint 20331 |publisher=[[Advertising Standards Authority (United Kingdom)|Advertising Standards Authority]]|url=https://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/en/archive/20141024155206/http://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2007/5/Publishing-House/TF_ADJ_42600.aspx}}</ref><br />

Coleman went on to work as a newspaper columnist for a number of publications, including ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' and ''[[The Sunday People]]'',<ref name="independent" /> where he was an [[Advice column|agony uncle]] until he resigned in 2003.<ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref>The Morning Show with Patrick Timpone, 31 January 2017</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Burrell|first=Ian|date=2021-03-21|title=How we can fight back against anti-vaxxer scaremongering on social media|url=https://inews.co.uk/opinion/columnists/how-we-can-fight-back-against-anti-vaxxer-scaremongering-on-social-media-923435|access-date=2021-10-21|website=inews.co.uk|language=en}}</ref><br />

<br />
A 1989 editorial in the ''[[British Medical Journal]]'' criticised Coleman's comments made for ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' as the 'Sun Doctor' on [[leprosy]] as a 'particularly distasteful piece of tabloid journalism...[containing] a catalogue of selected facts and misinterpretations' following the announcement that [[Diana, Princess of Wales]], was to shake hands with a person with [[leprosy]]. The incident was later covered on [[Channel 4]]'s ''Hard News'', with Coleman declining to defend his statement without a fee covering travel costs.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1989-10-21 |title=Medicine and the Media |journal=BMJ |volume=299 |issue=6706 |pages=1036 |doi=10.1136/bmj.299.6706.1036 |s2cid=220191801 |issn=0959-8138}}</ref><br />

Coleman's 1993 novel ''[[Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War (novel)|Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War]]'' was turned into a film in 2002 [[Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War|with the same name]].<ref name="IMDbRelease">[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305847/releaseinfo IMDb: ''Release info - Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War''] Retrieved 2013-02-02</ref><br />
<br />
Whilst working for ''The Sunday People'', Coleman wrote that if children diagnosed with [[autism]] were "stuck up to their necks in a vat full of warm sewage for 10 hours they would soon learn some manners" and that diagnoses of hyperactivity and autism were "misused by middle-class, aspirational parents to excuse the behaviour of their obnoxious children."<ref>''Casebook'' column ''[[Sunday People]]' June 25, 1995.</ref> Following the article, autism charities received phone calls from distressed parents. The Chairman of the East Anglian Autistic Support Trust, Owen Spencer-Thomas, whose elder son has severe autism, condemned Coleman's remarks as "irresponsible, medically unsound and deeply hurtful" to families that had a child with autism. Spencer-Thomas challenged Coleman to spend 24 hours caring for his son in the presence of fully trained carers who understood the effects of autism. Coleman declined and refused to withdraw his remarks leading to an investigation by the Press Complaints Committee.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Autism 'advice' sparks outrage|work=Cambridge Evening News|publication-date=5 July 1995}}</ref> During his time at the paper, Coleman was again censured by the [[Press Complaints Commission]] for making misleading medical claims.<ref name="bedell1996" /><ref name="Ross1999">{{cite news|last=Ross|first=Deborah|author-link=Deborah Ross (journalist)|date=12 July 1999|title=What seems to be the problem Doctor Coleman?|work=The Independent|location=London|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/what-seems-to-be-the-problem-doctor-coleman-1105857.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220811/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/what-seems-to-be-the-problem-doctor-coleman-1105857.html |archive-date=11 August 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=22 March 2020}}</ref><br />

Coleman became a self-published author in 2004 after ''Alice's Diary'', a book about his cat, was turned down by traditional publishers.<ref name="Ross1999" /><ref name="johnson2004" /><br />
<br />
==AIDS denial==<br />
Writing for ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' newspaper in 1989, Coleman denied that [[AIDS]] was a significant risk to the heterosexual community.<ref name="Felton2020" /> He later claimed [[AIDS denialism|AIDS is a hoax]], writing, "it is now my considered view that the disease we know as AIDS probably doesn't exist and has never existed".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Coleman |first1=Vernon |title=AIDS & HIV |url=http://www.vernoncoleman.com/aids.htm |website=VernonColeman.com |access-date=12 November 2020}}</ref> Such claims have been rejected by the medical community.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=McCredie |first1=Jane |title=Reining in Mavericks |journal=InSight+ |date=21 November 2011 |issue=44 |url=https://insightplus.mja.com.au/2011/44/jane-mccredie-reining-mavericks/}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 17 November 1989, ''The Sun'' published an article under the headline "Straight sex cannot give you AIDS—official", claiming "the killer disease AIDS can only be caught by homosexuals, bisexuals, junkies or anyone who has received a tainted blood transfusion". The following day, Coleman supported ''The Sun''<nowiki/>'s claims with an article under the headline "AIDS—The hoax of the century", similarly claiming AIDS was not a significant risk to heterosexuals, that medical companies, doctors and condom manufacturers were conspiring to scare the public and had vested interests in profiteering from public service announcements, and that moral campaigners were attempting to frighten young people into celibacy to establish traditional family values. Coleman also claimed gay activists were "worried that once it was widely known that AIDS was not a major threat to heterosexuals, then funds for AIDS research would fall".<ref name="Eldridge2003">{{cite book |last=Eldridge |first=John |year=1993 |title=Getting the Message: News, Truth, and Power |publisher=Routledge |pages=198–224 |isbn=9781134895823 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bjiIAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA198}}</ref><ref name="Felton2020">{{cite book |last1=Felton |first1=James |title=Sunburn: The unofficial history of the Sun newspaper in 99 headlines |date=2020 |publisher=Sphere |isbn=978-0-7515-8077-8}}</ref><br />

Coleman later claimed "no one can possibly know if the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective because the trial is still underway; thousands of people who had the vaccine have died or been seriously injured by it; legally, all those people giving vaccinations are war criminals".<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Fossen|first=Drew|date=6 February 2021|title=Administering COVID Vaccine Does Not Make You A War Criminal|url=https://misbar.com/en/factcheck/2021/02/06/administering-covid-vaccine-does-not-make-you-a-war-criminal|website=Misbar}}</ref> These claims were debunked by [[Health Feedback]], a member of the [[World Health Organization]]-led project [[Vaccine Safety Net]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Carballo-Carbajal |first1=Iria |title=COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use prevent the disease and are generally safe based on rigorous clinical trials and ongoing monitoring |url=https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/covid-19-vaccines-approved-for-emergency-use-prevent-the-disease-and-are-generally-safe-based-on-rigorous-clinical-trials-and-ongoing-monitoring/ |website=Health Feedback |date=11 February 2021}} Response to a claim by Coleman, 2 February 2021.</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Fact check: Staff administering COVID-19 vaccines are not war criminals |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/reuters-factcheck-vaccination/fact-check-staff-administering-covid-19-vaccines-are-not-war-criminals-idUSKBN2A42H5 |work=Reuters |date=4 February 2021}}</ref> Coleman later claimed "COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous" and that "bodies of vaccinated people are laboratories making lethal viruses".

At an anti-lockdown protest in London on 24 July 2021, Coleman claimed that the wearing of face masks caused [[cancer]], [[dementia]], [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]] and [[hypercapnia]], [[bacterial pneumonia]] due to oxygen deficiency. These claims were similarly debunked by the medical community due to a lack of peer-reviewed evidence.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Heyndyk |first1=Rachel Muller |title=FALSE CLAIM - ID:040df007 - Wearing a face mask can cause cancer |url=https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/040df007 |website=Logically.ai |access-date=27 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Fact check: Wearing masks does not cause cancer |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-masks-cause-cancer-idUSKBN26Q22N |access-date=27 August 2021 |work=Reuters |date=5 October 2020}}</ref><ref name="fullfact.org"/> Coleman later claimed that the wearing of face masks caused [[mucormycosis]], despite no link being found between mask wearing and mucormycosis.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kamdar |first1=Dhriti |title=India's Black Fungus Epidemic Sparks Misinformation Storm |url=https://www.logically.ai/articles/black-fungus-epidemic-misinformation |website=Logically.ai |access-date=27 August 2021}}</ref> All evidence suggests that wearing masks are safe and an effective way towards protecting individuals from COVID-19.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mahase |first1=Elisabeth |title=Covid-19: Are cloth masks still effective?

<br />
In November 2021, Coleman made the false claim that "this [vaccination] jab was an experiment certain to kill and injure" which was debunked due to its lack of evidence and a reliance upon a discredited research report authored by [[Steven Gundry]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Tereszcuk|first=Alexis|title=Fact Check: Dr. Vernon Coleman Gives NO Medical Proof The COVID-19 Jab is Murder, Relies On Discredited Research Report|url=https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/11/fact-check-dr-vernon-coleman-gives-no-medical-proof-the-covid-19-jab-is-murder.html|access-date=2021-11-27|website=Lead Stories|date=24 November 2021 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2021-11-30|title=Fact Check-300-word journal abstract is not proof of mRNA vaccines being used to 'murder'|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-britain-idUSL1N2SL1ME|access-date=2021-12-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Pallavi |date=6 December 2021 |title=False: A paper in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation gives evidence that mRNA vaccines cause heart damage. |url=https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/8667a706 |access-date=2022-01-06 |website=Logically |language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Muller Heyndyk |first=Rachel |date=26 November 2021 |title=Misleading: There is an increased risk of heart attacks following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. |url=https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/99987978 |access-date=2022-01-06 |website=Logically |language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=False: A paper in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation gives evidence that mRNA vaccines cause heart damage. |url=https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/8667a706-1 |access-date=2022-01-06 |website=Logically |language=en-gb}}</ref><br />
<br />
Despite being debunked, Coleman's conspiracy theories have been used to push [[COVID-19 denial]], pseudoscience and anti-mask propaganda. Police officers urged residents in [[Prestwich]], Greater Manchester to dismiss anti-vaccination leaflets in May 2021 which had been distributed in the area and credited to Coleman. In a statement, the local authority "requested the public to dismiss the message being sent out and is encouraging all relevant age groups to take up the offer of a vaccine".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bowman |first1=Jamie |title=Police urge residents to 'dismiss' anti-vaccination leaflets being distributed in Prestwich |url=https://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/19278234.police-urge-residents-dismiss-anti-vaccination-leaflets-distributed-prestwich/ |access-date=8 May 2021 |agency=Bury Times |date=4 May 2021}}</ref> The same leaflets were also distributed in [[Luton|Luton, Bedfordshire]] with Luton Council warning that the leaflets contained "dangerous misinformation".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bolton |first=Josh |date=2021-02-05 |title=Warning as 'dangerous anti-vax' leaflets posted through doors in Luton |url=https://www.bedfordshirelive.co.uk/news/bedfordshire-news/warning-issued-dangerous-anti-vax-4972659 |access-date=2022-02-28 |website=bedfordshirelive |language=en}}</ref> Similar leaflets have been distributed across Scotland and condemned by [[Shirley-Anne Somerville]] of the Scottish Parliament.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ryder |first1=Gemma |title=Dunfermline MSP condemns coronavirus hoax leaflet |url= https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/18739823.dunfermline-msp-condemns-coronavirus-hoax-leaflet/ |newspaper=Dunfermline Press |date=22 September 2020 |access-date=28 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Amery |first1=Rachel |title=Coronavirus survivors hit out at hoax leaflets posted through doors in Perth |url=https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/coronavirus-survivors-hit-out-at-hoax-leaflets-posted-through-doors-in-perth/ |access-date=6 February 2021 |agency=Evening Telegraph |date=15 October 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Lennox|first=Toni|date=2021-03-22|title=Covid anti-vaxxers blasted for spreading misinformation in East Ayrshire town|url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/covid-anti-vaxxers-blasted-spreading-23754316|access-date=2021-11-18|website=Daily Record|language=en}}</ref> The [[Catholic Church]] has also urged parishioners to "read the Vatican document on vaccination morality" after Coleman's anti-vaccination videos and quotations were circulated in 2021 by a Franciscan priest in [[Gosport|Gosport, Hampshire]]. In an investigation, the Diocese of Portsmouth announced "The Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth is very disappointed that one of the Family of Mary Immaculate and St Francis in Gosport has publicly expressed a personal view about the Covid vaccination programme that is contrary to the official position of the Catholic Church and the Diocese.

<br />
Coleman has also claimed the [[National Health Service]] "kills more people than it saves" referencing a flawed study by [[The BMJ]] to support this claim.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-19 |title=Vernon Coleman: how the Pandemic has brought some unpleasant people new fame |url=https://www.skeptic.org.uk/2022/01/vernon-coleman-how-the-pandemic-has-brought-some-unpleasant-people-new-fame/ |access-date=2022-05-03 |website=The Skeptic |language=en-GB}}</ref> He has also falsely claimed the NHS reduced "screening tests" to lower carbon emissions. Although there were a reduced number of cancer screenings due to a lack of resources during the Covid-19 pandemic, no evidence was found to support Coleman's claim that screenings were being limited in effort to combat global warming.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heyndyk |first=Rachel Muller |date=18 February 2022 |title=False: The NHS is reducing screenings and tests to fight global warming |url=https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/23958243 |access-date=22 March 2022 |website=Logically}}</ref><br />

<br />
==Advertising Standards Authority rulings==<br />
In 2005, the [[Advertising Standards Authority (United Kingdom)|Advertising Standards Authority]] (ASA) banned an advertisement for a book published by Coleman entitled ''How to Stop Your Doctor Killing You'' which claimed doctors were "the person most likely to kill you". The ASA upheld complaints that the advert was misleading, offensive and denigrated the medical profession. The ASA found Coleman's claims were lacking evidence, "irresponsible" and "likely to discourage vulnerable people from seeking essential medical treatment".<ref>{{cite news |title=Criticism for 'deadly doctor' ad |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/4117064.stm |access-date=5 January 2021 |agency=BBC |date=21 June 2005}}</ref> In response to the ruling, Coleman called for the ASA to be banned and later made a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading, claiming "the ASA's action(s) are in breach of Article 10 of the Human Rights Act".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Coleman |first1=Vernon |title=Does The ASA Do More Harm Than Good? |url=http://www.vernoncoleman.com/asaasa.htm |website= VernonColeman.com |date=June 2005 |access-date=5 January 2021}}</ref> The Office of Fair trading did not pursue Coleman's complaint.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Coleman |first1=Vernon |title=The Advertising Standards Authority and the Office of Fair Trading |url=https://vernoncoleman.com/howcanyouhelpclose.htm |website= VernonColeman.com |date=June 2005 |access-date=5 January 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2007, the ASA again found Coleman had made misleading claims in an advertisement promoting a supposed link between eating meat and contracting cancer. Coleman failed to respond to the ASA's enquiries and was subsequently found to have again breached the organisation's code of conduct, with the ASA deeming Coleman's advert was again lacking evidence and likely to cause undue fear and distress. Coleman was instructed not to further run the advertisement and informed to respond to future ASA investigations.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online/books-and-publications.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416110253/https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online/books-and-publications.html|archive-date=16 April 2021 |title=Books and publications: Advice online |publisher=Advertising Standards Authority Committee of Advertising Practice |website=www.asa.org.uk |date=22 July 2013}}</ref><ref name="asa-publishing-house-CS_39900" /><br />

He has been a member of the [[House of Lords]] since 2011.<br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
True was born on 31 July 1951 to Edward Thomas True and Kathleen Louise True (''née'' Mather). He was educated at [[Nottingham High School]] and [[Peterhouse, Cambridge]], from which he graduated with a [[Bachelor of Arts]] (BA) degree in 1973; as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a [[Master of Arts (Oxbridge and Dublin)|Master of Arts]] (MA Cantab) in 1978.<ref name="WW 22">{{cite web |title=True, Baron, (Nicholas Edward True) (born 31 July 1951) |url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whoswho/U38096 |website=[[Who's Who 2022]] |publisher=Oxford University Press |access-date=28 December 2021 |language=en |date=1 December 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />

He was Deputy Head of the Prime Minister's Policy Unit from 1991 to 1995, before becoming special adviser within the [[10 Downing Street#Office of the Prime Minister|Prime Minister's Office]] in 1997, until the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|general election]] of that year. In his memoirs the former Prime Minister [[John Major]] says that True was his favourite speechwriter. He was appointed a [[Commander of the Order of the British Empire]] (CBE) in the [[1993 New Year Honours]].<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=53153 |date=31 December 1992 |page=9 |supp=y}}</ref><br />

'''Hammersmith North''' was a [[borough constituency]] in the [[Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith]] in [[West (London sub region)|West London]]. It returned one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) to the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]], elected by the [[first past the post]] system.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The constituency was created when the [[Hammersmith (UK Parliament constituency)|Hammersmith constituency]] was divided for the [[1918 United Kingdom general election|1918 general election]]. <br />
<br />
In its early years the constituency regularly changed hands between Labour and the Conservatives, but it was a Labour seat from a by-election in 1934 until its abolition in 1983.<br />
<br />
The constituency shared boundaries with the [[Hammersmith North (electoral division)|Hammersmith North electoral division]] for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.<br />
<br />
It was abolished for the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]] when it was partly replaced by a new [[Hammersmith (UK Parliament constituency)|Hammersmith constituency]].<br />

[[File:Hammersmith Met. B Ward Map 1916.svg|thumb|A map showing the wards of Hammersmith Metropolitan Borough as they appeared in 1916.]]<br />
The seat was created by the [[Representation of the People Act 1918]], and was defined as consisting of wards Four, Five, Six and Seven of the [[Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith]].<ref name=youngs>{{cite book |last=Youngs |first= Frederic A Jr. |title=Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England, Vol.I: Southern England |year=1979 |publisher=[[Royal Historical Society]] |location=London |isbn=0-901050-67-9 |pages=743–746}}</ref>{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===1950–1955===<br />
[[File:HammersmithNorth1950.png|thumb|260px|Hammersmith North 1950-55]] The original boundaries were used until the [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950 general election]]. The wards of the metropolitan borough had been redrawn since 1918, and the seat was redefined by the [[Representation of the People Act 1948]] as comprising six wards: College Park & Latimer, Coningham, Old Oak, Starch Green, [[White City, London|White City]] and Wormholt.<ref name=youngs/>{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===1955–1974===<br />
[[File:HammersmithNorth1955.png|thumb|260px|Hammersmith North 1955-74]] The [[House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949]] allowed for periodic reviews of constituency boundaries. Seats in the two [[Metropolitan Boroughs of the County of London|metropolitan boroughs]] of Hammersmith and [[Metropolitan Borough of Fulham|Fulham]] were redrawn prior to the [[1955 United Kingdom general election|1955 general election]]. The neighbouring seat of [[Hammersmith South (UK Parliament constituency)|Hammersmith South]] was abolished and the three wards of Addison, [[Olympia, London|Olympia]] and St. Stephen's were transferred to the North constituency.<ref name=youngs/>{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===1974–1983===<br />
The last redrawing of the boundaries of the constituency took place prior to the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 election]]. In 1965 the former metropolitan borough had become part of the larger [[London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham|London Borough of Hammersmith]], and the seat was defined as consisting of ten wards of the [[London Borough]], namely: Addison, [[Hammersmith Broadway|Broadway]], [[Brook Green]], College Park & Old Oak, Coningham, Grove, St. Stephen's, Starch Green, White City and Wormholt.<ref name=youngs/><br />

'''Aldershot''' {{IPAc-en|'|ɔː|l|d|ər|ˌ|ʃ|ɒ|t}} is a [[List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies|constituency]]{{#tag:ref|A [[borough constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} in [[Hampshire]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|UK Parliament]] since [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017]] by [[Leo Docherty]], a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]].{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n}}<br />
<br />
==Political history==<br />
Aldershot has elected a [[Conservative Party UK|Conservative]] as its MP since its creation in 1918.<br />
<br />
From [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|1974]] to 2010 (inclusive) [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] (or predecessor, [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberals]]) polled second. In [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015]] and [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017]] the [[Labour Party UK|Labour]] candidate was runner-up.<br />
<br />
The 2015 result saw the seat rank 123rd safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ukpolitical.info/conservative-mps-elected-2015.htm |title=Conservative Members of Parliament 2015 |website=UK Political.info |access-date=2017-02-12 |archive-date=2017-06-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608170823/http://www.ukpolitical.info/conservative-mps-elected-2015.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> In June 2016, [[Results of the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum#List of constituency results|57.9% of local adults voting in the EU membership referendum]] chose to leave the European Union instead of to remain. This was matched in two January 2018 votes in Parliament by its MP.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/25628/leo_docherty/aldershot/divisions?policy=1065|title=Leo Docherty MP, Aldershot|website=TheyWorkForYou}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the 2017 general election, Leo Docherty won the seat after Howarth retired. The seat saw a further increase in the Labour vote, like much of the South East amid its national rise to 40% of the vote, the highest since 2001 when the party was in government.<br />

<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
The constituency includes the towns [[Aldershot]] and [[Farnborough, Hampshire|Farnborough]] in the north-east of [[Hampshire]] which have research, development and production sites of information technology and light industrial major commercial businesses such as in aviation at [[Farnborough Airport]], storage and distribution, and military supply businesses. Aldershot is a major training and residential base of the British Army. Adding to steady employment and high income sectors, two 35 minutes to one-hour journey time passenger lines to [[Central London]], serve the south and north of the mixed functionalist urban and leafy, relatively grand [[suburbia]] seat.{{refn|group=n|See [[Alton Line]] and [[South West Main Line]], railways.}}<br />
<br />
Aldershot itself has some Labour councillors, along with one strong ward in Farnborough (Cherrywood), but the majority of wards, particularly in the smaller rural towns and villages are safely Conservative, the latter holding the seat with solid or large majorities from its creation 100 years ago.<br />

'''Brecon and Radnorshire''' ({{lang-cy|Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed}}) is a [[Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom|county constituency]] in [[Wales]] of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]]. Created in 1918, it elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first-past-the-post]] system of election. The constituency is represented by [[Fay Jones (politician)|Fay Jones]] of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], who defeated incumbent [[Jane Dodds]] of the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] at the [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 general election]].<br />
<br />
The constituency is set to be abolished, as part of the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] and under the [[List of parliamentary constituencies in Wales#Final recommendations|June 2023 final recommendations]] of the [[Boundary Commission for Wales]] for the [[next United Kingdom general election]]. The entire constituency would be part of [[Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe (UK Parliament constituency)|Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe]].<ref name="Final proposals report">{{Cite book |url=https://bcomm-wales.gov.uk/sites/bcomm/files/review/E02859434_Boundary%20Commission%20Wales%202023_English_Web%20Accessible_V03.pdf |title=2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies - The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies in Wales |date=28 June 2023 |publisher=[[Boundary Commission for Wales]]}}</ref><br />

==Boundaries==<br />
{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Brecon and Radnorshire (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|frame-height=250|text=Map of current boundaries}}<br />
The boundaries of the constituency correspond broadly with the [[historic counties of Wales|ancient counties]] of [[Brecknockshire]] and [[Radnorshire]]. Radnorshire is included in full, and the only significantly populated area from Brecknockshire not in this constituency is [[Brynmawr]], which is in [[Blaenau Gwent]]. This is the largest constituency in England and Wales by area.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo010702/debtext/10702-22.htm |title=House of Commons Hansard Debates for 2 Jul 2001 (pt 22) |work=parliament.uk}}</ref> No town in the constituency exceeds a population of 10,000, the largest being [[Ystradgynlais]] at roughly 9,000. Other towns in the constituency are [[Brecon]], [[Knighton, Powys|Knighton]], [[Crickhowell]] and [[Llandrindod Wells]]. The remainder of the constituency is largely made up of small villages and land used for farming sheep: sheep outnumber humans in Powys as a whole by around ten to one.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2042455.stm |work=[[BBC News]] |title=Jubilee tour diary: Powys picnic |date=13 June 2002}}</ref><br />
<br />
Under planned constituency changes announced in September 2016 ahead of the next general election, it was proposed to merge this seat with the southern half of [[Montgomeryshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Montgomeryshire]], including [[Newtown, Montgomeryshire|Newtown]], to form a new constituency called Brecon, Radnor and Montgomery.<ref>{{cite news |title=A radical shake-up of the constituency |work=Shropshire Star |date=13 September 2016 |page=10}}Report by Mark Andrews, dealing with constituencies in or bordering Shropshire.</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The constituency was created in the boundary changes of 1918 by merging [[Breconshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Breconshire]] and [[Radnorshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Radnorshire]], both previously constituencies in their own right. While once a [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] stronghold, the constituency was captured from the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] government by the [[SDP–Liberal Alliance]] at a dramatic [[1985 Brecon and Radnor by-election|by-election in 1985]]. It was regained by the Conservatives in [[1992 United Kingdom general election|1992]], taken back by the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] in [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997]], and then returned to the Conservatives in [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015]]. It was the Conservatives' fifteenth target seat at the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 election]], but the party's share of the vote fell, leaving it as the Conservatives' 95th target seat in [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010]], requiring a swing of 5.09%. In the event, the swing to the Conservatives was 0.3%, and the Liberal Democrats retained the seat, with [[Roger Williams (UK politician)|Roger Williams]] remaining the MP. In 2015 the seat was reclaimed for the Conservatives by [[Chris Davies (Conservative politician)|Chris Davies]], whose majority of 5,102 was the largest in the constituency since [[Tom Hooson]] won the seat, also for the Conservatives, in [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983]]. Roger Williams stood for the Liberal Democrats in 2015 but shed over 6,500 votes from his 2010 result, a loss of 17.8%.<br />
<br />
In 2019, Davies pleaded guilty to filing false expenses claims, triggering a [[2019 Brecon and Radnorshire recall petition|recall petition]], the third such [[Recall election#United Kingdom|petition]] in the UK. The petition was successful, forcing Davies to vacate the seat.<ref>{{cite news |title=Recall petition for convicted MP confirmed |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-48038005 |work=BBC News |date=24 April 2019}}</ref><ref name='bbcunseat'>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48720176 |title=Welsh Tory MP unseated after petition |date=21 June 2019 |access-date=21 June 2019 |work=BBC News}}</ref> A [[2019 Brecon and Radnorshire by-election|by-election]] was held on 1 August, which was won by Liberal Democrat candidate [[Jane Dodds]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Brecon and Radnorshire by-election: Lib Dems beat Conservatives |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-49200636 |work=BBC News |date=1 August 2019 |access-date=1 August 2019}}</ref> Dodds was then defeated by Conservative [[Fay Jones (politician)|Fay Jones]] at the general election in December 2019.<br />

'''Beckenham''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɛ|k|ən|ə|m}}) is a [[United Kingdom constituencies|constituency]]{{#tag:ref|A [[borough constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer).|group= n}} represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] since [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010]] by [[Bob Stewart (politician)|Bob Stewart]], an [[Independent politician|independent]].{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n}}<br />
<br />
Under the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the constituency will be subject to major boundary changes and will be renamed '''Beckenham and Penge'''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report – London {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/the-2023-review-of-parliamentary-constituency-boundaries-in-england-volume-one-report-london/ |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
The constituency is mostly leafy and suburban — one widely known gazetteer summarised this in 2012: {{blockquote|"The properties on these streets typically include a range of styles, from modern to [[Mock Tudor]]. However many local residents are wealthy city commuters. Keston Common and Keston Ponds are both popular attractions for locals...The common theme is large, detached houses with substantial land and typically with asking prices of over £1 million. At the lower end of the market, a one bedroom period conversion flat on Turpington Lane near Bromley Common, or a one bedroom flat in a modern block on Homesdale Road, near the Bickley border, would demand an asking price of approximately £160,000."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mouseprice.com/area-guide/br2|title=Area and Property Guide for br2 - Mouseprice|website=www.mouseprice.com|access-date=2012-12-21|archive-date=2013-12-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215205815/http://www.mouseprice.com/area-guide/br2|url-status=live}}</ref>}} There are significant areas of open land to the south around Hayes and Keston. The upmarket town centre of Beckenham is split between this constituency and [[Lewisham West and Penge (UK Parliament constituency)|Lewisham West and Penge]] to the west.<br />
<br />
All wards have voted between 60 and 70% [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] since the seat's inception. In times when [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] has led in the national polls the seat has remained Conservative. The smallest majority in a general election was 9.3%, in 1997; in all other elections except 2001 there have been majorities of more than 15%. The seat happened to become safer in its cut down to six wards (from ten) in 2010. This removed the three most Labour inclined wards of the borough, centered on Penge, and one other, taken from the more suburban parts that lean strongly or weakly Conservative.<br />
<br />
Since 1983 there has been a close contest for second place between Labour and the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]]. Labour's share has remained much greater than in [[Orpington (UK Parliament constituency)|Orpington]] whereas the Liberal Democrat share has remained much greater than in [[Croydon Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon Central]].{{#tag:ref| Both Orpington and Croydon Central are [[Conservative Party (UK)|conservative]] neighbouring seats.|group= n}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Image:BeckenhamConstituency.svg|thumb|Fourth and present form of the seat, since the 2010 general election]]<br />
The constituency has only elected Conservatives as its MPs since 1950.<br />
<br />
The constituency shared boundaries with the [[Beckenham (electoral division)|Beckenham electoral division]] for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.<br />
<br />
The closest the Conservatives have ever come to losing this seat was at [[1997 Beckenham by-election|a by-election in November 1997]], at the height of [[Tony Blair]]'s '[[honeymoon period]]' as Prime Minister, following the resignation of the previous MP [[Piers Merchant]] in a sex scandal. Even then, the former MP for Hastings who lost her seat in the earlier 1997 general election, [[Jacqui Lait]], managed to win the seat by just over 1,000 votes.<br />
<br />
Between 1957 and 1992 the long-serving MP for Beckenham was [[Philip Goodhart|Sir Philip Goodhart]], who was soon after 1979 discovered by [[Margaret Thatcher]] to be a right-of-centre or 'wet conservative' and consequently his career as a junior minister came to a quick end. Goodhart is best known for his book on the workings of the Conservative MPs' 1922 Committee, and for his brother Charles, who was a famous economics professor at [[London School of Economics|LSE]] and sat for some time on the [[Bank of England]]'s monetary policy committee.<br />
<br />
Before Sir Philip Goodhart, the former Conservative [[Chief Whip]] Patrick Buchan-Hepburn represented Beckenham in Parliament.<br />
<br />
==Boundaries==<br />

<br />
'''1997–2010''': The London Borough of Bromley wards of Anerley, Clock House, Copers Cope, Eden Park, Kelsey Park, Lawrie Park and Kent House, Penge, Shortlands, West Wickham North, and West Wickham South.<br />
<br />
'''2010–present''': The London Borough of Bromley wards of Bromley Common and Keston, Copers Cope, Hayes and Coney Hall, Kelsey and Eden Park, Shortlands, and West Wickham.<br />
<br />
Note that - despite the changes in ward names - the 1974-1983 boundaries and the 1983-1997 boundaries listed above are almost exactly the same boundaries. Similarly - despite the changes in local authorities and the listing of wards - the 1950-1974 boundaries and the 1997-2010 boundaries listed are almost exactly the same boundaries.<br />
<br />
Beckenham constituency covers the north-western part of the [[London Borough of Bromley]]. The local government ward boundaries were redrawn for the 2002 local elections, though this did not affect parliamentary limits until the 2010 general election.<br />
<br />
===Pre-2010 boundary review===<br />
Following their review of parliamentary representation in [[South London]], the [[Boundary Commission for England]] made revisions to this seat. Clock House ward, Crystal Palace ward, and Penge and Cator ward were transferred from Beckenham to help create the new constituency of [[Lewisham West and Penge (UK Parliament constituency)|Lewisham West and Penge]]. Parts of Bromley Common and Keston, Hayes and Coney Hall, and Shortlands wards were transferred to Beckenham from [[Bromley and Chislehurst (UK Parliament constituency)|Bromley and Chislehurst]]. A small part of Bromley Common and Keston ward was transferred to Beckenham from [[Orpington (UK Parliament constituency)|Orpington]] and a tiny part of Bromley Town ward was transferred from Beckenham to Bromley and Chislehurst.<br />
<br />
== Proposed boundary changes ==<br />
Under the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the constituency will be subject to major boundary changes, with eastern areas, comprising the [[Bromley Common]] and [[Keston]], and [[Hayes, Bromley|Hayes]] and [[Coney Hall]] wards, being transferred to the new constituency of [[Bromley and Biggin Hill (UK Parliament constituency)|Bromley and Biggin Hill]]. To compensate, "[[Penge]]" (comprising the Clock House, [[Crystal Palace, London|Crystal Palace]], and Penge and Cator wards) will be transferred from the current seat of [[Lewisham West and Penge (UK Parliament constituency)|Lewisham West and Penge]], which is to be abolished. Accordingly, the seat will be renamed '''Beckenham and Penge''', to be first contested at the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]].<ref name=":0" /><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
The seat was created under the [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]].<br />
;Political history<br />
Only [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] MPs have been elected in West Dorset. Historically there have mostly been large majorities; thus the seat can be considered a [[safe seat]]. The closest result in recent years was in 2001, when the then member, [[Oliver Letwin]], held his seat with a majority of only 2.8% over the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrat]] candidate, Simon Green. The second place in every election after 1970 has been taken by the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal Party]] and, subsequent to that party's merging with the [[Social Democratic Party (UK)|SDP]], the Liberal Democrats. [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]]'s best results in the constituency were in 1945 and 1966.<br />
<br />
;Prominent frontbenchers<br />
Oliver Letwin, with a settled background in policy formulation, was appointed Minister of State for Policy (a [[Cabinet Office]] role) in the [[Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition]] on 12 May 2010. He had previously served as [[Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer]] between 2003 and 2005.<br />

* Grosvenor: Covering the whole of [[Mayfair]] and the northern half of [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]].<br />
* Hamlet of Knightsbridge: The southern half of Hyde Park, together with [[Knightsbridge]] and part of the museums area north of [[South Kensington]] including the [[Royal Albert Hall]].<br />
* Knightsbridge St. George's: The area of [[Belgravia]].<br />
* Victoria: A very large ward running from [[Buckingham Palace]] south to include [[London Victoria station|Victoria Station]], and [[Pimlico]].<br />
<br />
The constituency also included "the part of the Charing Cross Ward which lies to the south and west of a line drawn from the ward boundary at the centre of [[Wellington Arch]], along the middle of [[Constitution Hill, London|Constitution Hill]], thence along the middle of the road to the north and east of the Queen Victoria Memorial, thence along the middle of Spur Road to boundary of St. Margaret Ward".

'''Blackpool South''' is a [[List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies|constituency]]{{#tag:ref|A [[borough constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} in Lancashire, represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] since 2019 by [[Scott Benton (politician)|Scott Benton]], who was elected as a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]], but who sits as an [[independent politician|independent]] after he had the Conservative Party whip suspended in April 2023.{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n}}<ref name="BBCNews5April2023"/><br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
The seat encompasses the central and southern parts of Blackpool, including the famous [[Blackpool Tower]], the three piers and the [[Blackpool Pleasure Beach|Pleasure Beach]]. Also included is the Bloomfield area, home to [[Blackpool F.C]]. In the southern end of the seat, near to the [[Borough of Fylde|Fylde]] border, Squires Gate is the site of [[Blackpool Airport]].<ref>Mapit https://mapit.mysociety.org/area/65679.html</ref><br />
<br />
Tourism is a major industry in the area, and while Blackpool has been less affected by the decline in domestic holidaymaking than some resorts, there are nonetheless some run-down areas which were once rather more glamorous. Traditionally seaside seats were very safe for the Conservative Party, but for some time it seemed unlikely that the party would win it back. However, they were able to do so in [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019]] when they finally achieved a sizeable majority with [[Red wall (British politics)|many gains in northern England]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
This seat was created for the [[1945 United Kingdom general election|1945 general election]]. This marginal constituency has been represented by both the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] and [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] parties since the [[Second World War]]. It was held by the Conservatives until 1997, when [[Gordon Marsden]], gained it for Labour. He represented the seat for the next 22 years but was defeated in [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019]] by the Conservative [[Scott Benton (politician)|Scott Benton]].<br />

'''Widnes''' was a [[county constituency]] in England, based on the town of [[Widnes]], in [[Lancashire]]. It returned one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) to the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]], elected by the [[first past the post]] voting system.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The constituency was formed as a Parliamentary division of [[Lancashire]] in 1885, including [[Allerton, Merseyside|Allerton]], [[Cronton]], [[Ditton, Cheshire|Ditton]], [[Garston, Merseyside|Garston]], [[Hale, Greater Manchester|Hale]], [[Halewood]], [[Huyton with Roby]], [[Little Woolton]], [[Much Woolton]], [[Speke]], [[Tarbock]], [[Whiston, Merseyside|Whiston]] and [[Widnes]].<br />
<br />
In 1918 it was redefined to cover the municipal borough of Widnes, along with the urban districts of [[Prescot]] and [[Huyton with Roby]] and the [[Whiston Rural District]]. The two urban districts and part of the rural district (the parishes of [[Eccleston, St Helens|Eccleston]], [[Kirkby]], [[Knowsley, Merseyside|Knowsley]], and [[Windle, St Helens|Windle]]) became part of a new [[Huyton (UK Parliament constituency)|Huyton]] constituency in 1950, with Widnes retaining the borough and the remainder of the rural district. In 1971 Widnes featured the last by-election to date to have only a Labour and a Conservative candidate. Its boundaries remained unchanged in 1974. In 1983 Widnes constituency was abolished and replaced by [[Halton (UK Parliament constituency)|Halton]] constituency.<ref>Youngs, Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England, Volume 2</ref><br />
<br />
==Boundaries==<br />
'''1950–1983''': The borough of Widnes, and the rural district of Whiston except the parishes of Eccleston, Kirkby, Knowsley, and Windle.<ref>{{Cite legislation UK |type=act |year=1948 |chapter=65 |act=Representation of the People Act 1948 |schedule=1 |accessdate=23 July 2023 }}</ref><br />

'''Canterbury''' is a [[Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom|constituency]]{{#tag:ref|A [[county constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} in [[Kent]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|UK Parliament]] since [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017]] by [[Rosie Duffield]] of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]].{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least once every five years.|group= n}}<br />
<br />
The seat dates to the earliest century of regular parliaments, in 1295; it elected two MPs [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885|until 1885]], electing one thereafter, before being altered by the [[Representation of the People Act 1918]] (the later-termed "Fourth [[Representation of the People Act|Reform Act]]", the first being [[Reform Act 1832|in 1832]]). Currently, the electorate (the total of people eligible to vote) is much greater than the average nationwide (the electoral quota); this is termed [[under-apportionment of representation]].<br />
<br />
==Constituency profile==<br />
The seat takes in the cathedral and university city of Canterbury, rural villages to the south, and the seaside resort of Whitstable to the north. Full time students make up around a quarter of the electorate.<ref>UK Polling Report http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/2015guide/canterbury/</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
;Constitutional status of seat<br />
The widened Canterbury constituency was formed from an expansion of the narrow [[parliamentary borough]] (or simply [[borough status in the United Kingdom|borough]]) of the same name that existed from 1295 to 1918. This had elected two MPs from 1295 (the [[Model Parliament]]) until 1885, and then one until 1918.<br />
<br />
;Political history<br />
Before the seat was reformed the politics of the town were greatly influenced by [[Canterbury Cathedral]] and the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]].<ref>Pages 99 to 102,[[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - London: St Martin's Press, 1957)</ref><br />
<br />
From 1835 (where a Conservative was elected on petition) until 2017, the local electorate elected mostly candidates of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] (with the exceptions of the elections of [[Independent Unionist]] [[Francis Bennett-Goldney]], MP from 1910 to 1918, and of a few [[Whigs (British political party)|Whigs]] or [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]]s when Canterbury had two seats); the seat was recognised in the [[Guinness Book of World Records]] as the longest uninterrupted period of one party holding a Parliamentary seat. The election of Labour's [[Rosie Duffield]], who won the seat by just 187 votes in the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 election]], marked the end of a 185-year period of Canterbury almost always electing Conservative-allied MPs, the longest recorded unbroken record of party representation in British political history. Her victory in this election was largely credited to the strategies of electoral strategist Jack Wilson, who at the time was the youngest senior political adviser in British history. She kept the seat, increasing her majority in 2019.<br />
<br />
;Size of electorate<br />
{{See also|Results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election|Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies}}<br />
Voters locally are [[malapportionment|under-apportioned]] a large fraction of a seat, and so, representative &ndash; population having risen, and homes having increased in a planned way, since the [[2001 United Kingdom Census]] from which seats are predominantly drawn. This can be illustrated in that 27,182 was the number of votes cast for the runner-up in 2019 amid a locally high, three-quarters, turnout election. Such voters for the runner-up were more than voted for the winner in 208 of the 535 English seats &ndash; and the second-highest such votes in the election, exceeded only in [[Stroud (UK Parliament constituency)|Stroud]], by Labour's runner-up. In the same election 12,713 votes won Kingston upon Hull East; 14,557 votes won Stoke-on-Trent Central; 6,531 votes won Na h-Eileanan an Iar; 11,705 won Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross; 12,959 won Ynys Môn and 15,149 won South Antrim.<br />

<br />
'''West Dunbartonshire''' is a [[county constituency]] of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]]. It elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election and covers the same area as the county of [[West Dunbartonshire]].<br />
<br />
The current constituency was first used in the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 general election]]. There was also an earlier West Dunbartonshire constituency, from 1950 to 1983.<br />
<br />
The current MP is [[Martin Docherty-Hughes]] of the [[Scottish National Party]], who was elected at the [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015 general election]] and was re-elected at the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 general election]] and [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 general election]].<br />
<br />
== Boundaries ==<br />
=== Historic ===<br />
The historic constituency was created under the [[House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949]] and first used in the [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950 general election]].<ref name="Graig">''[[Boundaries of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972]]'' ({{ISBN|0-900178-09-4}}), [[F. W. S. Craig]], 1972</ref><br />
<br />
As created in 1950, the constituency was one of two covering the [[county of Dunbarton]]. The other was [[East Dunbartonshire (UK Parliament constituency)|East Dunbartonshire]]. The two new constituencies replaced the earlier constituencies of [[Dunbartonshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Dunbartonshire]] and [[Dumbarton Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Dumbarton Burghs]].<ref name="Graig"/><br />
<br />
West Dunbartonshire covered the Helensburgh, Old Kilpatrick, and Vale of Leven districts of the county and the burghs of [[Cove and Kilcreggan, Dunbartonshire|Cove and Kilcreggan]], [[Dumbarton]] and [[Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire|Helensburgh]].<ref name="Graig"/><br />
<br />
For the [[1951 United Kingdom general election|1951 general election]] the constituency boundaries were adjusted to take account of a change to the boundaries of the Old Kilpatrick district.<ref name="Graig"/><br />
<br />
The results of the First Periodical Review of the [[Boundary Commissions (United Kingdom)|Boundary Commission]] were implemented for the [[1955 United Kingdom general election|1955 general election]], but there was no change to the boundaries of West Dunbartonshire, and the boundaries of 1951 and 1955 were used also in the [[United Kingdom general elections|general election]]s of [[1959 United Kingdom general election|1959]], [[1964 United Kingdom general election|1964]], [[1966 United Kingdom general election|1966]] and [[1970 United Kingdom general election|1970]].<ref name="Graig"/><br />
<br />
The results of the Second Periodical Review were implemented for the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 general election]]. The review took account of population growth in the county of Dunbarton, caused by overspill from the city of [[Glasgow]] into the new town of [[Cumbernauld, Dunbartonshire|Cumbernauld]] and elsewhere,{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} and West Dunbartonshire became one of three constituencies covering the county. The other two were East Dunbartonshire and [[Central Dunbartonshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Central Dunbartonshire]]. West Dunbartonshire now covered the Helensburgh and Vale of Leven districts and the burghs of Cove and Kilcreggan, Dumbarton and Helensburgh.<ref name="Graig"/><br />
<br />
February 1974 boundaries were used also for the general elections of [[October 1974 United Kingdom general election|October 1974]] and [[1979 United Kingdom general election|1979]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}<br />
<br />
In 1975, under the [[Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973]], Scottish counties were abolished in favour of [[Regions and districts of Scotland|regions and districts]] and [[Islands council areas of Scotland|islands council areas]], and the county of Dunbarton was divided between several districts of the new [[region of Strathclyde]]. The Third Periodical Review took account of new [[Local government in Scotland|local government]] boundaries and the results were implemented for the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}<br />
<br />
=== Current ===<br />
{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/West Dunbartonshire (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|frame-width=200|text=Map of current boundaries}}<br />
The existing constituency was created as a result of the Fifth Periodical Review of the [[Boundary Commission for Scotland]], It covers and is entirely within the [[West Dunbartonshire council area]].<ref name="5th Review">{{cite web |url=http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/5th%20report/index.htm |title=Fifth Periodical Review |website=[[Boundary Commission for Scotland]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009160559fw_/http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/5th%20report/index.htm |archive-date=9 October 2007}}</ref><br />
<br />
The area of the constituency was previously divided between the [[Dumbarton (UK Parliament constituency)|Dumbarton]] and [[Clydebank and Milngavie (UK Parliament constituency)|Clydebank and Milngavie]] constituencies.<ref name="5th Review"/> It includes the population centres of [[Clydebank]], [[Dumbarton]] and [[Alexandria, Scotland|Alexandria]].<br />
<br />
The Fifth Periodical Review did not affect the boundaries of [[Scottish Parliament constituencies]], which retain the boundaries of Westminster constituencies prior to implementation of the results of the review.<br />

'''Dunbartonshire''' was a [[county constituency]] of the [[House of Commons of Great Britain]] (at [[Palace of Westminster|Westminster]]) from 1708 to 1801 and of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] (also Westminster) from 1801 to 1950.<br />
<br />
==Creation==<br />
The British parliamentary constituency was created in 1708 following the [[Acts of Union, 1707]] and replaced the former [[Parliament of Scotland]] shire constituency of [[Dunbartonshire (Parliament of Scotland constituency)|Dunbartonshire]] .<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The constituency elected one [[Member of Parliament (MP)]] by the [[Plurality voting system|first-past-the-post]] system until the seat was split in 1950.<ref name = HOP1690>{{cite web| url = http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/constituencies/dunbartonshire<br />

It elected one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) using the [[first-past-the-post]] voting system.<br />
<br />
== Boundaries ==<br />
<br />
The constituency was created to cover the [[county of Dumbarton]] (later ''Dunbarton'') minus any [[parliamentary burgh]] or part thereof within the [[Counties of Scotland|county]]. From 1832 to 1918, however, under the [[Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832]], the [[Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868]] and the [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]], the boundaries of counties and [[burgh]]s for purposes of parliamentary representation were not necessarily those for other purposes.<br />
<br />
The [[Representation of the People Act 1918]] brought constituency boundaries generally into alignment with [[Local government in Scotland|local government]] boundaries established under the [[Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889]] and subsequent related legislation, but there were later changes to local government boundaries which were not reflected in new constituency boundaries until 1950, the same year that the Dunbartonshire constituency was abolished, under the [[House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949]].<br />
<br />
''For the period 1832 to 1918 boundary details below are nominal, and for the period 1918 to 1950 they are those applicable in 1918.''<br />
<br />
For the [[1708 British general election|1708 (first) general election]] and every subsequent election of the Parliament of Great Britain the Dumbartonshire constituency consisted of the county of Dumbarton minus the burgh of [[Dumbarton]], which was a component of the [[Clyde Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Clyde Burghs]] constituency.<br />
<br />
In 1801 the Parliament of Great Britain was merged with the [[Parliament of Ireland]] to form the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Dumbartonshire constituency retained its boundaries as a constituency of the Parliament of Great Britain for the [[1802 United Kingdom general election|1802 (first) general election]] of the new parliament and for the [[general elections (UK)|general elections]] of [[1806 United Kingdom general election|1806]], [[1807 United Kingdom general election|1807]], [[1812 United Kingdom general election|1812]], [[1818 United Kingdom general election|1818]], [[1820 United Kingdom general election|1820]], [[1826 United Kingdom general election|1826]], [[1830 United Kingdom general election|1830]] and [[1831 United Kingdom general election|1831]].<br />
<br />
Nominally, the constituency had the same boundaries for the [[1832 United Kingdom general election|1832 general election]], but the burgh of Dumbarton was now a component of [[Kilmarnock Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Kilmarnock Burghs]]. 1832 boundaries were used also in all general elections up to [[December 1910 United Kingdom general election|December 1910]].<br />
<br />
For the [[1918 United Kingdom general election|1918 general election]] the constituency was defined as covering the county of Dunbarton minus the burghs of Dumbarton and [[Clydebank]], which comprised [[Dumbarton Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)|Dumbarton Burghs]]. 1918 boundaries were used also in all general elections up to [[1945 United Kingdom general election|1945]].<ref name="Graig">''[[Boundaries of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972]]'' ({{ISBN|0-900178-09-4}}), [[F.

<br />
The constituency includes the western portion of [[Bournemouth]], from the [[Kinson]], [[Ensbury Park]], [[Alder Hills]], [[Winton, Dorset|Winton]] and [[Talbot Woods]] areas down towards the [[Bournemouth Town Centre|town centre]] and the [[West Cliff, Bournemouth|West Cliff]]. Following a [[Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies|boundary change]] for the 2010 general election, the constituency gained the [[Branksome, Dorset|Branksome]] area from [[Poole]] whilst losing [[East Cliff, Bournemouth|East Cliff]] to the neighbouring [[Bournemouth East (UK Parliament constituency)|Bournemouth East]] constituency.<br />
<br />
The constituency contains [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]]'s best ward in [[Bournemouth]] in the district of [[Kinson]], but the seat has elected [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]] at every election since its creation in [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950]]; therefore it is considered a Conservative safe seat.<br />
<br />
{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Bournemouth West (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|text=Map of present boundaries}}<br />
With the exception of the period 1983–1997 (when it was in [[Bournemouth East (UK Parliament constituency)|Bournemouth East]]), [[Bournemouth Town Centre]] has been in this constituency since its creation in 1950.<br />

'''Coatbridge and Airdrie''' was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|constituency]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]]. It returned one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) from 1950 until 1983.<br />
<br />
It was then replaced by the [[Monklands West (UK Parliament constituency)|Monklands West]] constituency.<br />
<br />
==Boundaries==<br />
The constituency location is in northern [[Lanarkshire]], to the north of [[Bothwell (UK Parliament constituency)|Bothwell]] and to the east of [[Glasgow]]. From 1885 until 1983 [[Coatbridge]] and [[Airdrie, North Lanarkshire|Airdrie]] were linked for parliamentary purposes. The seat was named '''Coatbridge and Airdrie''' after 1950.<br />
<br />
In the 1885-1918 period the area formed the county constituency of [[Coatbridge (UK Parliament constituency)|Coatbridge]]. In the 1918 redistribution the burgh constituency of Coatbridge was created. The seat was defined in 1918 as comprising the [[burgh]]s of [[Airdrie, North Lanarkshire|Airdrie]] and [[Coatbridge]].<br />
<br />
The change in the constituency name in 1950 did not affect the boundaries. Apart from a small boundary change to Airdrie, which took effect for parliamentary purposes in 1955, its boundaries did not alter until the areas parliamentary representation was remodelled in 1983.<br />
<br />
From the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]] the area was divided between two new seats. It provided the majority of the electorate for both [[Monklands East (UK Parliament constituency)|Monklands East]] and [[Monklands West (UK Parliament constituency)|Monklands West]]. 34,802 electors in the old seat were included in the new East constituency (57.1% of the old seat and 72.2% of the new one). 26,148 voters found themselves in Monklands West (42.9% of the old seat and 53.4% of the new one).<br />

'''Croydon North East''' was a [[borough constituency]] represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1955 to 1997. It elected one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Croydon North East was created for the [[1955 United Kingdom general election|1955 general election]] just five years after a previous re-organisation of the three seats in the [[County Borough of Croydon]]. It took in areas of the former [[Croydon North (UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon North]] and [[Croydon East (UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon East]] constituencies and bordered [[Croydon North West (UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon North West]] and [[Croydon South (historic UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon South]], as well as, when originally created, the constituency of [[Beckenham (UK Parliament constituency)|Beckenham]].<br />
<br />
The constituency was abolished at the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]] with one third going to the new Croydon North seat (the [[Thornton Heath]], [[Upper Norwood]] and [[South Norwood]] wards) and the rest (the wards of [[Woodside, London|Woodside]], [[Rylands]], [[Addiscombe]], [[Ashburton, London|Ashburton]] and [[Shirley, London|Monks Orchard]]) becoming part of an expanded [[Croydon Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Croydon Central]].<br />
<br />
For all of its history, Croydon North East had [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Members of Parliament]], although in 1987 its long-serving and most notable MP, [[Bernard Weatherill]], stood as [[Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom)|Speaker]]. Following its abolition at the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 election]] both successor seats elected [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] MPs.<br />
<br />
== Boundaries ==<br />
'''1955–1965''': The County Borough of Croydon wards of Addiscombe, East, South Norwood, Thornton Heath, and Woodside.<br />
<br />
'''1965–1983''': The same wards in the London Borough of Croydon.<br />
<br />
'''1983–1997''': Wards of the above borough: Addiscombe, Ashburton, Monks Orchard, Rylands, South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Upper Norwood, and Woodside.<br />
<br />
When first created, Croydon North East included the areas of South Norwood and Addiscombe and parts of Thornton Heath and Shirley. It saw various boundary changes, largely stretching further north. At the time of its abolition in 1997, Croydon North East covered all of South Norwood, Upper Norwood, Addiscombe, northern Shirley and parts of Thornton Heath around Thornton Heath High Street, within the [[London Borough of Croydon]].<br />

<br />
===1950–1974===<br />

<br />
He was appointed Work and Pensions Spokesman for UKIP in 2016.

<br />
As UKIP Work and Pensions Spokesman, he called for action to end the north–south divide, and for government to extend its employment drive to parts of the U.K. which have never recovered the loss of their manufacturing base.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Charalambous, a Farage-loyalist, subsequently left UKIP, and is reported to have changed his mind, and voted against brexit. He was also a special constable, for 18 years from 1995, serving under the Metropolitan Police, City of London Police and Honourable Artillery Company.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-04-17 |title=Cambridgeshire UKIP candidate 'sorry' over poppy in advert |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2015-england-32349091 |access-date=2023-05-24}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-04-16 |title=Ukip apology over poppy advert |language=en-GB |work=BelfastTelegraph.co.uk |url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/ukip-apology-over-poppy-advert/31148429.html |access-date=2023-05-24 |issn=0307-1235}}</ref><br />
<br />
He made a career in business as a property developer and private landlord. Charalambous was reported to own a thousand properties. The Daily Telegraph newspaper poked fun at him for falling out with his bank for allegedly helping homeless people, by taking them off the streets of Covent Garden in London and putting them in his properties. It was also pointed out in the Sunday Mirror that housing in his property portfolio has been rented out to immigrant tenants, despite the fact that UKIP leader Nigel Farage was calling for greater controls on immigration.<ref>https://www.egi.co.uk/news/interview-andrew-charalambous/</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Introducing Dr Earth |url=https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/insight/introducing-dr-earth-36028 |access-date=2023-05-24 |website=Inside Housing |language=En}}</ref> <br />
<br />
However, the City Monitor reported that Charalambous spoke up for the benefits of immigration, arguing that “London benefits vastly from being a cosmopolitan city, and that is largely due to the fact we have immigration….that enriches and makes London a stronger, more diverse, more lively city.” The same article, noted that Charalambous was warning of the damage that demonising poorer people could do to the social contract.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elledge |first=Jonn |date=2015-04-21 |title=Guess which party's housing spokesperson said this |url=https://citymonitor.ai/government/guess-which-partys-housing-spokesperson-said-957 |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=City Monitor |language=en-US}}</ref><br />

Charalambous, a social entrepreneur, does not, as a rule, charge his tenants deposits and administration fees, or seek references.<ref>https://www.egi.co.uk/news/interview-andrew-charalambous/</ref> The Estate Gazette reported that “the colourful Charalambous defies preconceptions.

== Political activities ==<br />
In the [[1992 United Kingdom general election|1992 General Election]], Charalambous stood for the Conservatives in Tottenham, as the youngest candidate of any main party in the general election.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Politics {{!}} The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/constituency/1378/tottenham |access-date=2023-05-24 |website=the Guardian |language=en}}</ref> He stood twice for the Conservative Party as a parliamentary candidate, in [[Tottenham]] and Edmonton in 2010.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Marre |first=Oliver |date=2008-07-12 |title=Pendennis |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2008/jul/13/2 |access-date=2023-05-24 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Andrew Charalambous was a leading financial donor to the Party, a founder of the Conservative Climate Campaign, and Conservative Friends of [[Cyprus]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-03-17 |title=Charalambous slammed for £142,000 party donation |url=https://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/5067117.andrew-charalambous-slammed-for-142000-party-donation/ |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Enfield Independent |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
In early 2011, Charalambous switched from the Conservatives to UKIP, citing the fact that the Conservative coalition government was cutting healthcare services, particularly the accident and emergency department at the Chase Farm Hospital In Enfield, north London. Charalambous had campaigned vigorously to keep the accident and emergency service at the hospital from being closed.<ref name="insidehousing.co.uk">http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/introducing-dr-earth/6527381.article</ref><br />
<br />
Charalambous was a leading campaigner for the British countryside and green belt, innovating the brownfield-first policy. As Housing and Environment Spokesman, he claimed at the UKIP Party Conference of 2014 that “We would issue brownfield bonds with the aim of raising £5bn to fuel our brownfield revitalisation programme - paving the way for more affordable housing and more home ownership by investing in our country’s most derelict and underused land rather than turning beautiful landscapes into concrete jungles.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-03-03 |title=Wayback Machine |url=http://www.hounslow.gov.uk/declaration_of_result_of_poll_151211.pdf |access-date=2023-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303223620/http://www.hounslow.gov.uk/declaration_of_result_of_poll_151211.pdf |archive-date=3 March 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Cambridgeshire North East parliamentary constituency - Election 2019 - BBC News |language=en-GB |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000842 |access-date=2023-05-24}}</ref><br />
<br />
He went on to declare that “UKIP will never concede an inch of the British countryside to residential development….. Politicians do not have the right to deprive future generations from living the marvels of the British countryside - to confine their experience of the beauty of Britain to images in photographs and video archives.<ref name="njlconsulting.co.uk"/> <br />

The constituency covers the north western part of the metropolitan borough of the [[City of Leeds]], [[West Yorkshire]]. It stretches from [[Yeadon, West Yorkshire|Yeadon]] in the north west and [[Otley]] in the north east to [[Headingley]] in the south in terms of major settlements.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The constituency was created in 1950, as '''Leeds North-West'''; the name was changed by dropping the hyphen in 1955. Before the [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950 general election]], [[Leeds]] was represented by the constituencies of: [[Leeds Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central]], [[Leeds North (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds North]], [[Leeds South (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South]], [[Leeds West (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds West]], (all created 1885); [[Leeds North East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds North-East]] and [[Leeds South East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South-East]] (both created 1918). There were also constituencies of [[Batley and Morley (UK Parliament constituency)|Batley and Morley]] (created 1918) and [[Pudsey and Otley (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey and Otley]] (created 1918 replacing [[Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey]]). Leeds North West was created before the 1950 election, and at the same time the Pudsey and Otley constituency was abolished, re-creating the Pudsey constituency and moving Otley into the [[Ripon (UK Parliament constituency)|Ripon]] constituency. The Leeds North West boundary was revised prior to the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]], bringing in [[Otley]] and the nearby villages of [[Bramhope]], [[Pool-in-Wharfedale]] and [[Arthington]] from the abolition of the Ripon constituency.<br />
<br />
The constituency was held for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] by [[Donald Kaberry]] from its creation in 1950 until his retirement in 1983, and then by [[Keith Hampson]] (1983–1997), who had previously been MP for [[Ripon (UK Parliament constituency)|Ripon]]. It was taken for [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] in the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]] by [[Harold Best]], who was re-elected in the [[2001 United Kingdom general election|2001 general election]].

<br />
'''2010–present''': The City of Leeds wards of Armley, [[Bramley and Stanningley (ward)|Bramley and Stanningley]], Farnley and Wortley, and Kirkstall. Unusually for a Parliamentary seat, the boundaries do not correspond exactly to the wards' boundaries. The seat includes small areas of the wards for Calverley and Farsley, and Morley North, but also excludes a very small area of Farnley and Wortley, which falls under [[Leeds Central]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/|title=Election Maps|publisher=Ordnance Survey|access-date=3 May 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
The constituency covers the western part of the city of [[Leeds]] in [[West Yorkshire]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The constituency was created in 1885 by the [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]], and was first used in the [[1885 United Kingdom general election|general election]] of that year. [[Leeds (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds]] had previously been represented by two MPs (1832–1868) and three MPs (1868–1885). From 1885 it was represented by five single-member constituencies: [[Leeds Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central]], [[Leeds East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds East]], [[Leeds North (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds North]], [[Leeds South (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South]] and Leeds West. The constituencies of [[Morley (UK Parliament constituency)|Morley]], [[Otley (UK Parliament constituency)|Otley]] and [[Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey]] were also created in 1885.<br />
<br />
== Proposed abolition ==<br />
Further to the completion of the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the seat will be abolished for the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]], with its contents distributed to three new constituencies:<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
* [[Armley]], [[Bramley, Leeds|Bramley]] and [[Stanningley]] to [[Leeds West and Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds West and Pudsey]]<br />
* [[Farnley, Leeds|Farnley]] and [[Wortley, Leeds|Wortley]] to [[Leeds South West and Morley (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South West and Morley]]<br />
* [[Kirkstall]] to [[Leeds Central and Headingley (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central and Headingley]]<br />

'''Cambridgeshire''' is a former [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliamentary]] [[constituency]] in the [[United Kingdom]]. It was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|constituency]] represented by two Members of Parliament in the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of England]] then in the [[Parliament of Great Britain]] from 1707 to 1800 and in the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] from 1801 to 1832, when its representation was increased to three until it was abolished in 1885.<br />
<br />
It was reconstituted as a single-member seat in 1918 and abolished once again in 1983.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The county was represented by two [[Knights of the Shire]] until 1832, when the number of members was increased to three by the [[Reform Act 1832|Great Reform Act]]. Under the [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]], the constituency was abolished and was divided into three single-member constituencies: the Western or [[Chesterton (UK Parliament constituency)|Chesterton]] Division, the Eastern or [[Newmarket (UK Parliament constituency)|Newmarket]] Division and the Northern or [[Wisbech (UK Parliament constituency)|Wisbech]] Division.<br />
<br />
Under the [[Local Government Act 1888]], the historic county of Cambridgeshire was divided between the administrative counties of [[Cambridgeshire]] and [[Isle of Ely]]. When the parliamentary constituencies were next redistributed under the [[Representation of the People Act 1918]], Cambridgeshire was re-constituted as a single-member Parliamentary County, largely formed from combining the Chesterton Division (excluding areas that were now part of the expanded Municipal Borough of Cambridge) and the Newmarket Division (excluding the city of Ely which was included in the [[Isle of Ely (UK Parliament constituency)|Parliamentary County of Isle of Ely]]).<br />
<br />
The administrative counties of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely had been recombined in 1965 and Cambridgeshire was further expanded in 1974 to include [[Huntingdon and Peterborough]] under the [[Local Government Act 1972]]. Under the subsequent redistribution of seats, which did not come into effect until the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]], Cambridgeshire was abolished as a county constituency, forming the bulk of the new constituency of [[South East Cambridgeshire (UK Parliament constituency)|South East Cambridgeshire]] and the majority of [[South West Cambridgeshire (UK Parliament constituency)|South West Cambridgeshire]].<br />

'''1290–1653, 1658-1885''': The [[Historic counties of England|historic county]] of [[Cambridgeshire]]. (Although Cambridgeshire contained the borough of [[Cambridge (UK Parliament constituency)|Cambridge]], which elected two MPs in its own right, this was not excluded from the county constituency, and owning property within the borough could confer a vote at the county election. In the elections of 1830 and 1831, about an eighth of the votes cast for the county came from within Cambridge itself. The city of [[Ely (UK Parliament constituency)|Ely]] also elected its own MPs in 1295.)<br />
<br />
'''1654–1658''': The historic county was divided for the [[First Protectorate Parliament|First]] and the [[Second Protectorate Parliament]]s, between the two-member [[Isle of Ely]] area and the four-member constituency consisting of the rest of the county.<br />

<br />
There were minor boundary changes in 1950, when some of the constituency was transferred to the Cambridge seat, which was expanded to align with the Municipal Borough, and in 1974, to align with changes to the county boundary.<br />
