Ramsey (UK Parliament constituency)

Ramsey was a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons.

History and Boundaries:

The constituency was located on the Isle of Man and formed part of the larger administrative area of the United Kingdom for parliamentary electoral purposes. It existed for a relatively short period, being created in 1918 and abolished in 1950.

The boundaries of the Ramsey constituency generally covered the northern parts of the Isle of Man, encompassing the town of Ramsey itself, along with surrounding rural areas and villages. Detailed boundary descriptions are available in historical parliamentary records.

Abolition:

The Ramsey constituency was abolished as part of a broader review of parliamentary constituencies across the United Kingdom in 1950. The Isle of Man was then excluded from the UK parliament constituency system. The Isle of Man, a Crown Dependency, now has its own parliament, Tynwald, and sends no representatives to the UK Parliament.
