Stroud is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It is held by Simon Opher of the Labour Party, who won the seat from Siobhan Baillie of the Conservatives in 2024.[2] Formerly a safe Conservative seat, Stroud has been a marginal seat since 1997, changing hands five times in eight elections (in 1997, 2010, 2017, 2019 and 2024).
