The borough is covered by two parliamentary constituencies. The more urban part of the borough adjoining Nottingham is in the Gedling constituency, which until 1983 was known as Carlton. This was held by the Conservatives from its creation in 1950 until 1997 when it was taken by the Labour Party. Vernon Coaker has been the Member of Parliament (MP) since then. The rural part of the borough, including Calverton and Ravenshead, forms part of the Sherwood constituency, whose MP since 1992 has been Labour's Paddy Tipping. The constituency was created in 1983 and, as the area covered included many ex-mining areas, it was anticipated that it would be an easy target for Labour; however the Tories won and held it until 1992. This is perceived to be due to the fact that the majority of Nottinghamshire miners did not strike during the 1984-85 miners strike and that the area also contains ironically some of the most affluent areas in the north of the county such as Ravenshead and Newstead Abbey Park.
