	Elmet (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elmet is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		The constituency was created in 1983 to cover the far eastern wards of Leeds and neighbouring communities, notably Wetherby, Barwick-in-Elmet, Kippax, Garforth and Swillington.
		Elmet has historically always been a marginal seat due to the demographic makeup of the region, in contrast to Barkston Ash which was traditionally Tory.

		Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible.
		Northern Ireland is reviewed as a whole, and constituency boundaries may cross all district borders.
		For example, if two adjacent areas are entitled to 1.5 constituencies each, they may be combined together and awarded three constituencies, rather than having two constituencies each, all of which would be well below the average constituency electorate.

		Today, constituencies in England are mostly subdivisions of local authorities, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole wards.

		Elmet already covers a large area: from the extreme north of the constituency to the present southern border, which is 15 miles as the crow flies.
		We need a Member of Parliament (whoever that might be) whose constituency embraces Pinderfields, who understands entirely the nature and roots of the illnesses which some of their constituents are facing and then will represent Pinderfields and the area generally whenever there is to be a debate.
		In terms of the proposed new constituency of Morley and Outwood, if the Boundary Commission at the end of the day decided that that is a constituency that should be created and you were fortunate enough to represent that constituency, presumably you would represent it to the very best of your ability.

	FT.com / In depth - The constituencies that hold the key to victory
		There are a couple of liberal urban constituencies where the Lib Dems are hoping to inflict their first serious blows on Labour, and a fascinating test case as to whether they can translate local election dominance into general election votes in what has hitherto been a Lab-Con marginal.
		Cases of the Lib Dems gaining Labour constituencies outside of by-election contests are surprisingly rare (Chesterfield in 2001 was an exception not the rule), but Blaydon probably represents their best chance in the country this time in a previously rock-solid Labour seat.
		But despite this and the introduction of a devolved parliament with powers over a swathe of domestic policy, Scotland remains of vital importance in the nationwide contest, not least because of Labour’s continued strength in the 59 redrawn constituencies and the continued high profile of their Westminster representatives in government.

	The Electoral Commission : Election results
		Elections were held for the UK Parliament on 5 May 2005.

		The 2004 electorate is 1,512,162 and the theoretical entitlement is to 21.6360 constituencies.
		The Commission's provisional recommendations allocate twenty-two constituencies to the county, pair the City of Leeds with the City of Wakefield, and therefore disband the pairing of the Borough of Kirklees with the City of Wakefield.
		The cross-borough boundary constituency of Morley and Outwood CC would have an electorate of 69,583 and would comprise three wards of the City of Leeds (Ardsley and Robin Hood, Morley North and Morley South) and two wards of the City of Wakefield (Stanley and Outwood East and Wrenthorpe and Outwood West).

		We have all been involved with constituents who cannot make sense of decision making and appeals or who are frustrated with the repetitious and bureaucratic information-gathering process, and with staff who despair at translating the rules into reality for the people with whom they deal.
		In the centre of the constituency is the Whinmoor ward--once represented by Denis Healey--which consists predominately of council houses built in the 1960s and 1970s surrounded by substantial private development.
		The southern end of the constituency is dominated by the town of Garforth, the largest centre of population in Elmet.

	Welcome to the Elmet Conservative Association Website (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Elmet’s General Election result on 5th May 2005 was a disappointment to each and every one of the 17,732 people who voted Conservative and voted for a change.
		We spread the Conservative message far and wide throughout the constituency: we held public meetings, held “come and meet your Conservative Candidate” events, debated policy and exposed Labour’s shameful record both nationally and locally by delivering tens of thousands of leaflets.
		The electorate will not give the sitting Labour MP another chance and I am convinced that next time around Elmet will return a Conservative Member of Parliament to ensure that, once again, this constituency is back in safe Conservative hands.
