Beckenham is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Bob Stewart of the Conservative Party. ==Constituency profile== The northernmost third of the constituency is in part contiguous to Penge and Crystal Palace and has similar demographics to the borough to the northwest and to Norwood Junction in having significantly more social housing than the Greater London average.〔(2001 Census )〕 However, these wards in 2005 and 2010 voted strongly for the Liberal Democrats, with Labour also competitive. The remaining half of wards, the three in the south, consist of a larger majority of private housing than the other wards〔 which can be branded as leafy Bromley suburbia in the "BR2 postcode" — one widely known gazetteer summarises this in 2012: Also in the southeast is the small town centre of Beckenham itself. These three wards to date have voted between 60-70% for Conservatives which means that, even with Labour leading the national polls, the whole seat has had to date Conservative safe seat status. Opposition has featured since 1983 a close contest for second place between Labour and the Liberal Democrats. Labour's share has kept much greater than in Orpington whereas Liberal Democrat share has kept much greater than in Croydon Central. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beckenham (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
