Does anyone know which constituency has taken Canterbury’s record for longest unbroken representation?

Before Rosie Duffield, the last person elected to represent Canterbury while not being the official Conservative candidate had stolen the Irish Crown Jewels.

Assuming you mean longest representation by the Conservative party, I think Bury St Edmunds was longer anyway From what I see (caveat, on Wikipedia), no. they show the last Liberal victory in Canterbury in 1868 and the last one in Bury St Edmonds in 1880. |

The Conservative party lost Canterbury in December 2010. Anyway the old borough seats returned 2 members before 1885. There was always at least one Conservative representing Bury St Edmunds (if you include Peelite) since 1826 and in Canterbury only since 1835 |

There was always at least one Conservative representing Bury St Edmunds (if you include Peelite) since 1826 and in Canterbury only since 1835 It seems to me" it all depends what you mean"...As you say the double representation sometimes means there was a Con and a Lib sharing representation, so was the question the last time there was a non-Tory representing Canterbury, or the last time there was no Tory in Canterbury at all, and then there are all the issues as to who counts as a Tory with the usual plethora of Independent Conservatives, Unionists, Peelites, etc who may/may not have been "really" Tories. And I'm really not at all sure where the Irish crown jewels came into it.We would probably need Sherlock to answer that one. |

Francis Bennett-Goldney was Athlone Pursuivant of Arms at Dublin Castle, at the time of the theft in May 1907. There's a lot of speculation and uncertainty about who exactly was involved but given his involvement in other thefts revealed when he died, he was an obvious suspect. More recent study has increased the suspicion. Here's a monograph on the subject: www.academia.edu/9802230/A_Centenary_Report_on_the_Theft_of_the_Irish_Crown_Jewels_in_1907 |

If talking about the student (non) vote it's probably worth noting the impact of the term dates. Kent is unusual in that in the last 15 years the summer term doesn't start until into May and so in the normal course of events it is very rare for a local election to fall in term time. But for the lockdown this year appears to be the first since 2007 (and none again until at least 2026) that the first Thursday in May would be in term time - but as Canterbury has all-out elections this is (would be) a skip year. I think since 2007 the only local election in term time will have been the 2009 county election, held back for the EU Parliament. To update the term dates are now available until 2029. Assuming the current schedule (and for that matter that the county council still exists) then 2029 will be the first local election in twenty years to take poll during Kent's term time and the first normal scheduled one in twenty-two years. |

In minor boundary changes, most of the Sturry ward (about 4,500 voters) are removed from this seat. Despite that being an area of historic Labour strength, the result will be a slight increase in the Labour majority 2019 Notional result | Lab | 27218 | 48.5% | | Con | 25147 | 44.8% | | LD | 3250 | 5.8% | | Oth | 472 | 0.8% | | | | |
