Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Stoke-on-Trent has tended to be very loyal to the Labour Party; its three seats have all returned Labour MPs at every single election since 1945. The city of Stoke-on-Trent has its administrative headquarters in the Central constituency, although the whole town is an amalgamation of several distinct communities, each of which grew up as a discrete entity due to the pottery industry.
