Everything about Stirling Constituency totally explained
Stirling is a
constituency of the
House of Commons of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one
Member of Parliament (MP) by the
first past the post system of election.
Boundaries
The constituency covers the whole of the
Stirling council area. Most of the area is rural, but there are some large towns in the east, most notably
Stirling itself. A similar constituency, also called
Stirling, is used by the
Scottish Parliament.
History
The area covered by the modern constituency was first represented in the
British House of Commons in consequence of the
Act of Union 1707 in 1708. The county town of
Stirling was represented as part of
Stirling Burghs and the county was represented by
Stirlingshire, each returning one member.
In 1918, Stirling Burghs was abolished and Stirling was then represented by the
Stirling & Falkirk Burghs and from 1974
Stirling, Falkirk & Grangemouth constituencies. Along with
Clackmannanshire the county was meanwhile represented by
Clackmannan and Eastern Stirlingshire and
Stirling and Clackmannan Western (later Stirlingshire West).
The modern constituency of Stirling was established in 1983. In 2005 the west portion of
Ochil was moved into Stirling.
