Battersea is a constituency[n 1] in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It has been represented since 2017 by Marsha de Cordova of the Labour Party.[n 2][n 3]
The seat has had two periods of existence (1885–1918 and 1983 to date). In the first Parliament after the seat's re-creation it was Labour-represented, bucking the national result, thereafter from 1987 until 2017 the affiliation of the winning candidate was that of the winning party nationally – a 30-year bellwether.
In the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union, the constituency voted remain by an estimated 77%, the highest by a constituency with a Conservative MP at the time.[3]
