Bolton South East (UK Parliament constituency)


Bolton South East is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Yasmin Qureshi of the Labour Party.

Constituency profile

This area has elected Labour candidates to be MP since its creation in 1983, with majorities of more than 15% so to date it has been a safe seat. Unlike the other two Bolton seats, it has remained safely Labour. This is reflected too by the majority of wards returning councillors for Labour; a notably stronger ward for the Conservative Party to date has been Hulton, which has often returned Conservative councillors.
