Since then: what Labour Party did in office

You're voting for

Your Member of Parliament

One MP represents this constituency in the House of Commons. They vote on national laws, taxes and budgets, and take up constituents' problems with government bodies. Here, for Holborn and St Pancras.

What this office decides

Tax and benefits. Income tax, National Insurance, Universal Credit and pensions are set by Parliament.
The NHS. Its budget and the law it runs under, in England.
Immigration and borders. Who may come, stay and work.
Crime and justice. Criminal law and sentencing.
Defence and foreign affairs. Armed forces, treaties, aid.
National housing law. Renting rules, planning law, building targets.

What it does not

Bin collections. Your council.
Local planning decisions. Your council's planning committee.
Council tax levels. Your council.
Local road repairs. Your council or the county.
Devolved matters. In Scotland and Wales, health and education are decided there.

At a general election you are choosing twice over

Your cross elects one MP for Holborn and St Pancras. Across all 650 constituencies, the same crosses decide which party can command a majority and form a government. Both happen with one mark, and they can pull in different directions: people often like a local candidate from one party and prefer another to govern, or the reverse. Nothing here tells you how to weigh that; it is one of the real choices in front of you.

Which is why positions on this page are labelled by whose they are: what this candidate says (their own words, which may differ from their party's), what was done in office (the record, where there is one), and what their party says (the manifesto they stand on, which is the programme a government would be formed to deliver).

The parties standing here: The Official Monster Raving Loony Party · Liberal Democrats · Conservative and Unionist Party · UK Independence Party (UKIP) · Reform UK · Socialist Equality Party · Green Party · Labour Party.

Candidates often campaign on things their office cannot change. That is not dishonest in itself — an MP can press a council, a councillor can lobby government — but it is worth knowing which is which. Summarised from the Local Government Association and UK Parliament descriptions of each role.

How this vote is counted: first past the post. One cross; the candidate with the most votes wins.Worked example

Every ballot with one cross is counted for that candidate. The one with the most votes wins, even without a majority. Example: A 4,000, B 3,900, C 2,100. A wins with 40% of the vote; the 60% cast for others elect nobody. There are no second preferences; a vote for a candidate who does not win has no further effect.

In their own words

A 35-year-old heavy goods driver will stand against Theresa May to campaign for family court reform. Bobby Smith, who lives in Stevenage, is standing as an independent under the 'Give Me Back Elmo' banner, and has commandeered the famous Muppet’s image to promote his activism. He said the name comes from merging his daughter’s names, who he has not seen in four years. Mr Smith criticised the length a family court case takes to complete after parents separate, and said his case took about three years. “In that time, the relationship with the children has gone,” he said.“I want to raise awareness of the lack of fathers' rights in this country. It is a problem that has been going on for years.” from http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/gallery/maidenhead/115406/election-candidate-campaigning-for-family-court-reform-to-stand-in-maidenhead.html

In their own words

"David has lived in the West Hampstead area since the mid 1990s. From his early childhood and throughout his life, David has always been committed to environmental issues, particularly those relating to improving global biodiversity, preservation of woodlands and forests, and decarbonisation of our energy supplies. David is a management consultant and runs his own small firm supporting the transition of the energy sector to 100 percent renewables through smart technology. He is a keen cyclist, sports person and cat servant." - The Green Party

"Ultimately everything depends on our environment and I see my role as helping to reset the way we engage with and perceive our role within it to ease the inevitable transition to a low carbon economy. We urgently need to rewild to save our biodiversity and improve the ability of our land to absorb emissions, not just in the UK but internationally also and I hope to influence policy significantly in this area. I see both inequality and Brexit as related disasters and I will hold this incompetent government to account to help to address both of these critical issues." - David Stansell
