# Liverpool Walton (UK Parliament constituency)

Liverpool Walton is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2017 by Dan Carden of the Labour Party. Carden won the highest percentage share of the vote in June 2017 of 650 constituencies, 85.7%.

## Boundaries
### Historic

1918–1950: The County Borough of Liverpool wards of Fazakerley, Walton, and Warbreck.
1950–1955: As above plus the civil parish of Aintree in the Rural District of West Lancashire.
1955–1983: The County Borough of Liverpool wards of County, Fazakerley, Pirrie, and Warbreck.
1983–2010: The City of Liverpool wards of Anfield, Breckfield, County, Fazakerley, Melrose, and Warbreck.
2010–2024: The City of Liverpool wards of Anfield, Clubmoor, County, Everton, Fazakerley, and Warbreck.

### Current

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency was defined as being composed of the following wards of the City of Liverpool as they existed on 1 December 2020:
* The City of Liverpool wards of: Clubmoor; County; Croxteth; Fazakereley; Norris Green; Warbreck.
* The Metropolitan Borough of Sefton ward of Molyneux (polling districts C4, C5 and C6).
The constituency was subject to significant change, with the addition of the (former) wards of Croxteth and Norris Green from Liverpool West Derby and the Aintree district in the Sefton Borough ward of Molyneux from Sefton Central. These were partly offset by the transfer of the Anfield and Everton wards to Liverpool Riverside.
Liverpool was subject to a comprehensive local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023. As a result, the new constituency boundaries do not align with the revised ward boundaries. The constituency now comprises the following wards or part wards from the 2024 general election:
* The City of Liverpool wards or part wards of: Clubmoor East; Clubmoor West; County; Croxteth; Croxteth Country Park; Fazakerley East; Fazakerley North; Fazakerley West; Norris Green; Orrell Park; Tuebrook Larkhill (part); Walton; West Derby Muirhead (small part).
* Part of the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton ward of Molyneux (polling districts C4, C5 and C6).
The constituency is one of five covering the city of Liverpool and covers the north-centre of the city thereby taking in Walton, Clubmoor, Orrell Park, Anfield, Everton and Fazakerley. The grounds of Liverpool F.C. (Anfield) and Everton F.C. (Goodison Park), the city's two major football clubs, are in the constituency.

## History

Created by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, Liverpool Walton has been held by the Labour Party since the 1964 general election, and is the party's safest seat by size of majority. In 2010 and 2015, it had the largest Labour majority in the country by percentage terms. Labour has won over 70% of the vote at every general election in the Walton constituency since 1992, although for many years it was looked on as a reasonably safe Conservative seat. Until 1964, Labour had only gained Walton once, at their landslide victory after the Second World War in 1945. Like other seats in Merseyside, the Conservative Party's share of the vote declined rapidly during the 1980s, and Conservative candidates failed to poll in second place from 1997 until 2017. From 1964 until his death in 1991, the seat was held by the notable left-winger Eric Heffer; the subsequent by-election was won by Peter Kilfoyle, who held the seat until 2010. Steve Rotheram won the seat in 2010 after Kilfoyle stood down.
At both the 2010 and 2015 general elections, Liverpool Walton saw the highest share of the vote for a winning candidate in the country, and in the latter election, the 81.3% of the vote won by Rotheram was the highest of any candidate in an election in the UK since 1997.
In 2015, Liverpool Walton was the only constituency in England where the Conservative candidate (Norsheen Bhatti) lost their deposit.
In May 2017, Steve Rotheram was elected as Mayor of the Liverpool City Region and chose not to stand for re-election as an MP at the 2017 general election held one month later. In that election, the seat was won by the Labour candidate Dan Carden with the highest vote share for any Labour candidate nationally at 85.7%.
