[edit] Summary

United Kingdom general election results for Rother Valley constituency from its creation in 1918 to 2005. © Jeremy Atherton 2005.

[edit] Notes

The Background colour indicates the party of the sitting MP at any given year.

The election held in 1922 does not appear on this graph. Only one candidate stood at this election and so no votes were cast, the labour candidate being elected unopposed. A dashed line indicates the missing elections.

Graph drawn with IGOR Pro v.5.04
