Holly Lynch (born 8 October 1986), also known as Holly Walker-Lynch, is a British Labour politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Halifax since the 2015 general election. Lynch was given just over six weeks to retain the marginal seat of Halifax for Labour having only been selected as the party’s candidate at the end of March 2015. Labour’s search for a new candidate was triggered by the decision of sitting MP Linda Riordan in February to stand down on health grounds. Her decision, and Lynch’s subsequent selection, set up one of the most closely fought contests in Yorkshire in the election. Riordan had held Halifax for Labour in 2010 by a majority of just 1,472 votes, and the seat was considered a key target for the Conservative Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2015-02-12/halifax-is-tories-key-target-seat/ )〕 Lynch was successful on election night and held the Halifax seat for Labour with a majority of just 428 votes over the Conservative candidate. ==Early life== Lynch was born in Halifax and grew up in Northowram. She then attended Brighouse High School and studied Politics & History at Lancaster University.〔http://www.hollylynch.org.uk/about_holly_lynch_halifax_mp〕 She worked in a fast food outlet in Halifax town centre, before joining a small local business involved in exporting Halifax goods around the world.〔 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「Holly Walker-Lynch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
