History
East Hampshire as a seat was created in 1983 to replace the Petersfield constituency. The first MP for the seat was Michael Mates, who held the seat from 1983 until the 2010 election when he retired.
Boundaries and profile
The constituency is based on a similar area to that of the East Hampshire district, which it does not fill completely. The constituency includes the medium-sized towns of Petersfield, Alton, smaller towns of Bordon, Liss and Liphook, and a small part of the Havant borough north of Waterlooville, in turn north of Portsmouth. Much of the seat is the East Hampshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Results to date, apart from in 1997 result, suggest the seat is a Conservative Party safe seat and on national opinion-poll adjusted results, Hinds has the 28th highest share of the vote for the party in the country.[2]
