British Parliamentary Constituencies
on CD-Rom
Professor Ivor Crewe and Anthony Fox
The 1997 Westminster elections marked a dramatic shift in the political landscape of Britain. Political scientists, journalsists and academics will continue to analyse the result and its correlates for some years to come. This important resource, for students from A-level to postgraduate level, lecturers, teachers, journalists and politicians, is the definitive guide to the political, social and economic makeup of British Parliamentary Constituencies.
The CD-Rom is written by two distinguished political scientists, Professor Ivor Crewe of Essex University and Anthony Fox who have jointly produced many of the standard information resources on the British Parliamentary system.
The CD-Rom covers:
  • all Westminster constituencies, based on 1997 electoral boundaries, in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
  • national and regional voting trends
  • the geographical location and administrative make-up of constituencies and their Press Association numbers
  • a profile of each constituency and its MP
  • comprehensive data sets on voting and voting changes
  • information on the economic, demographic and social structure of each constituency.
The multi-format CD-Rom is structured to aid research at every level for both the general and the academic reader. An interactive front end for general reference use by journalists, local and national politicians and A-level students gives key information for every region and constituency. This provides information equivalent to the author's previous publication on the 1984 election which ran to some 400 pages. Research databases organised for research, undergraduate and school purposes using standard software packages, SPSS, Excel, Datapower and Key Plus. Database information can be collated from different sources, analysed and printed to demonstrate Key Skills IT and Communications competence.
