History edit

The East Yorkshire constituency was created for the 1997 general election and replaced the Bridlington constituency. The Conservative MP for that seat since 1979, John Townend, won the new seat and held it until he retired at the 2001 general election. His successor, the current incumbent Greg Knight, had previously represented the marginal seat of Derby North from 1983 until he was defeated in the 1997 general election.[citation needed] To date it has been a Conservative safe seat and ranks 170th in terms of their share of the vote of their 631 candidates, with an approximately equally divided opposition in 2010.[4]
