{{DEFAULTSORT:Burnley (Uk Parliament Constituency)}} |
The seat was created in 1868. Since the Second World War, it was generally a safe Labour seat, but the Conservative Party came within 770 votes of taking the seat in 1983, and it swung heavily to the Liberal Democrats in 2005, and following controversy regarding outgoing MP Kitty Ussher's personal expenses, they gained the seat in 2010.
