Nuneaton is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Marcus Jones, a Conservative.[n 2] Since 1997, the seat has been seen as an important national bellwether.[2][3][4]
In the 2015 general election, Nuneaton was the first key marginal seat between the Conservatives and Labour to declare its results.[5] Instead of seeing the predicted victory for Labour,[6] the seat saw a swing of 3.0% towards the Conservatives which proved to be a big indication that they were heading for victory in the 2015 general election, contrary to prior opinion poll projections.
