Current

[edit]

Further to the2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the2024 general election, the constituency was defined as being composed of the following wards of the City of Liverpool as they existed on 1 December 2020:

  • The City of Liverpool wards of: Clubmoor; County; Croxteth; Fazakereley; Norris Green; Warbreck.
  • The Metropolitan Borough of Sefton ward of Molyneux (polling districts C4, C5 and C6).[2]

The constituency was subject to significant change, with the addition of the (former) wards ofCroxteth andNorris Green fromLiverpool West Derby and theAintree district in the Sefton Borough ward of Molyneux fromSefton Central. These were partly offset by the transfer of the Anfield and Everton wards toLiverpool Riverside.

Liverpool was subject to a comprehensive local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023.[3][4] As a result, the new constituency boundaries do not align with the revised ward boundaries. The constituency now comprises the following wards or part wards from the 2024 general election:

  • The City of Liverpool wards or part wards of: Clubmoor East; Clubmoor West; County; Croxteth; Croxteth Country Park; Fazakerley East; Fazakerley North; Fazakerley West; Norris Green; Orrell Park; Tuebrook Larkhill (part); Walton; West Derby Muirhead (small part).
  • Part of the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton ward of Molyneux (polling districts C4, C5 and C6).[5]

The constituency is one of five covering the city ofLiverpool and covers the north-centre of the city thereby taking inWalton,Clubmoor,Orrell Park,Anfield,Everton andFazakerley. The grounds ofLiverpool F.C. (Anfield) andEverton F.C. (Goodison Park), the city's two major football clubs, are in the constituency.[needs update]

History

[edit]

Created by theRedistribution of Seats Act 1885, Liverpool Walton has been held by theLabour Party since the 1964 general election, and is the party'ssafest seat by size of majority.[citation needed] In 2010 and 2015, it had the largest Labour majority in the country by percentage terms.[6][original research?] Labour has won over 70% of the vote at every general election in the Walton constituency since1992, although for many years it was looked on as a reasonably safe Conservative seat. Until 1964, Labour had only gained Walton once, at their landslide victory after the Second World War in 1945. Like other seats in Merseyside, the Conservative Party's share of the vote declined rapidly during the 1980s, and Conservative candidates failed to poll in second place from 1997 until 2017. From 1964 until his death in 1991, the seat was held by the notable left-wingerEric Heffer; the subsequent by-election was won byPeter Kilfoyle, who held the seat until2010.Steve Rotheram won the seat in 2010 after Kilfoyle stood down.

At both the2010 and2015 general elections, Liverpool Walton saw the highest share of the vote for a winning candidate in the country, and in the latter election, the 81.3% of the vote won by Rotheram was the highest of any candidate in an election in the UK since1997.[7][original research?]

In 2015, Liverpool Walton was the only constituency in England where the Conservative candidate (Norsheen Bhatti) lost their deposit.[citation needed]

In May 2017, Steve Rotheram was elected asMayor of the Liverpool City Region and chose not to stand for re-election as an MP at the2017 general election held one month later. In that election, the seat was won by the Labour candidateDan Carden with the highest vote share for any Labour candidate nationally at 85.7%.[8][original research?]

In percentage terms, Carden's vote share and majority were unmatched by any candidate in any constituency at the 2019 election,[12] although higher turnouts and larger electorates saw fifteen other MPs — twelve Labour inLondon and one inMerseyside, and three Conservatives inLincolnshire andEssex — win with bigger numerical majorities.
