Constituency Information
Winchester, an affluent, historically rich constituency in mid-Hampshire, has been represented in the House of Commons by Conservative Steve Brine since 2010.

Including Winchester city and Chandler's Ford, it's known for low poverty, a mixed population of students, academics, commuters, and professionals in high-tech and creative industries. Smaller settlements like Chandler's Ford and villages such as Micheldever add to its diversity. With low jobseeker counts (1.4% in 2012), this area has fluctuated politically but has been a battleground for tight races, notably in 1997 when a by-election shifted its "safe" status.
🔍 Winchester: A Constituency of Rich History & Electoral Nail-Biters! 🇬🇧
🏛️ Winchester: A historic, affluent seat with a twist! Since 2010, Steve Brine (Conservative) holds it tight. From ancient capital to a 🌈 of residents & jobs, it's seen epic election battles & tight finishes! 🗳️2019 turned it into a nail-biter!
Ongoing since 1295, its representation saw significant changes with the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 and the Registration of Political Parties Act 1998, provoked by a misleading candidate name in 1997. Recent elections have seen Brine's majority shrink, marking Winchester as a highly competitive seat.
