Cambridge is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Daniel Zeichner of the Labour Party.[n 2]
Centred on the university city of Cambridge, it is one of the country's oldest continuously constituted constituencies. It was created in 1295 and returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) and was represented in the House of Commons of England until 1707, then in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800, and then in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1885. From 1885 onwards, the seat has elected one MP.
It was held by the Conservatives from 1967 to 1992, since when it has been represented alternately by both Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
In the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union, the constituency voted 73.8% to remain.[3]
