Rotherham (UK Parliament constituency)

This constituency was created in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.

Rotherham has consistently returned Labour MPs since a by-election in 1933, following the earlier period before 1923 dominated by the Liberal and Conservative parties. The numerical Labour majority in every general election from 1935 onwards has been in five figures, with the exceptions of 2015, 2019 and 2024.

1918–1950: The County Borough of Rotherham, and the Urban Districts of Greasbrough and Rawmarsh.

1950–1983: The County Borough of Rotherham.{{cite book|editor1-last=Craig|editor1-first=F. W. S.|title=Boundaries of parliamentary constituencies 1985-1972|date=1972|publisher=Political Reference Publications|location=Chichester, Sussex|isbn=0-900178-09-4}}

1983–2010: The Borough of Rotherham wards of: Boston, Broom, Central, Greasbrough, Herringthorpe, Kimberworth, Park and Thorpe Hesley.

2010–2024: The Rotherham borough electoral wards of: Boston Castle, Brinsworth and Catcliffe, Keppel, Rotherham East, Rotherham West, Valley, and Wingfield.[http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm70/7032/7032_iii.pdf 2010 post-revision map Greater London and metropolitan areas of England]

Following the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency comprises the following:

• The Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham wards of: Boston Castle; Brinsworth; Dalton & Thrybergh; Greasbrough; Keppel; Rother Vale; Rotherham East; Rotherham West; Wickersley North.{{cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 9 Yorkshire and the Humber region}}

Seat expanded to bring its electorate within the permitted range primarily by adding parts of the abolished constituency of Wentworth and Dearne, including northern parts of Wickersley and the village of Thrybergh.

It borders Rother Valley, Sheffield South East, Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough, Penistone and Stocksbridge, and Rawmarsh and Conisbrough.

The constituency consists of Census Output Areas of one local government district: a working population whose income is on average slightly below the national average and close to average reliance upon social housing.{{cite web|url=https://www.ons.gov.uk/help/localstatistics|title=Local statistics – Office for National Statistics|website=www.ons.gov.uk}} At the end of 2012 the unemployment rate in the constituency stood at 7% and 9.6% male unemployment of the population claiming jobseekers allowance, compared to the regional average of 4.7%. This was considerably higher also than the constituencies that share the borough.[https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics Unemployment claimants by constituency] The Guardian

The borough contributing to the seat has a relatively high 26.6% of its population without a car compared to 20.1% in Bassetlaw and 30.3% in Sheffield. In terms of extremes of education 29.8% of the population in 2011 were without qualifications, contrasted with 17.4% with level 4 qualifications or above.

In terms of tenure 65.2% of homes are owned outright or on a mortgage as at the 2011 census across the borough.{{cite web|url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html|title=2011 census interactive maps|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160129132219/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html|archive-date=29 January 2016}} In the 10 years to the April 2011 Census the social rented sector saw a 4.9% reduction and the private rented sector a 5.3% increase; outright ownership saw a 3.8% increase.

Laila Cunningham was originally selected as the Conservative candidate for the seat, but withdrew shortly before the nominations deadline. As the party did not field a replacement, it is the only seat in Great Britain, aside from the Speaker's seat of Chorley, in which no Conservative candidate was nominated.{{cite news|url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/07/tory-withdrawal-rotherham-labour-cunningham-election-reform/|title = Conservatives fail to field candidate in Rotherham|last = Gutterdige|first = Nick|date = 7 June 2024|newspaper = The Daily Telegraph|accessdate = 7 June 2024|url-access = subscription}}
