Marginal Seats Standard Note: SN/SG/06549

Section Social and General Statistics Section

This note lists UK Parliament seats by marginality using results for the 2010 General Election. The results are taken from the Research Paper (RP10/36) General Election 2010 (Table 18.9) Majorities are measured as the difference between the number of votes for the first and second placed candidates. Percentage majorities are these figures as a proportion of votes for all candidates and these are a better guide to relative marginality of different seats. It is likely that the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies used in 2010 will be the same at the next General Election.

• The least marginal seat is East Ham won by Labour’s Stephen Timms who has the largest majority in the UK, 27,826 over the Conservative Party in East Ham. Steve Rotheram, also Labour, has the largest percentage majority, 57.7% in Liverpool, Walton.

• The smallest majority recorded since 1918 is 2 votes, for A.J. Flint (Labour), in Ilkeston North in 1931 and for Mark Oaten (Liberal Democrat), in Winchester in 19971. The latter result was disputed and declared void due to an irregularity by the

• The largest majority recorded since 1918 is 62,253 for Sir A.C. Rawson (Conservative), in Brighton in 1931. The Conservatives won a 1940 by-election in Middleton and Prestwich by a percentage majority of 97.4% over their only challengers, the British Union of Fascists and National Socialists. The largest General Election majority was 96.0% for Conservative G.B.H. Currie in Down North in 1959.3
