History

Prior to the 1983 General Election, Crawley had been a part of the Horsham & Crawley, Horsham, and Horsham & Worthing constituencies at various times. Due to the growth of the Crawley as a new town in the 1960s and 70s, the Boundary Commission took the decision to separate it from Horsham in 1983. It looked safely Labour after comfortable victories in 1997 and 2001, but the sometimes volatile nature of New Town voters, especially in South-East England, has made the seat highly marginal again: Labour only just scraped home by barely 40 votes. 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
