<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The purpose of this study was to provide a database for investigating the impact of demographic and socio-economic milieux on party support and turnout in parliamentary constituencies. The dataset has been designed as a reference file for researchers. It contains basic electoral information (total votes cast, votes for each party, structure of party contest, whether a by-election won/held) in raw numeric form such that the secondary user can construct his or her own indices for each constituency. In addition, a selection of electorally relevant social and demographic variables drawn from the 1966 Sample Census is provided for the pre-1971 constituencies (053, 206 and 661).<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Variables<br> The parliamentary boundary changes of 1983 radically redrew Britain's electoral map.
