En 1295 se estableció un distrito de Gloucester que devolvió a dos burgueses como miembros del Parlamento a la Cámara de los Comunes. Su población significaba que esta era una situación que no conducía a un municipio completamente podrido identificado para su abolición bajo la Ley de Reforma de 1832, sin embargo, en cambios nacionales más justos (representación mucho más equitativa) en 1885, la representación se redujo a un miembro bajo la Ley de Redistribución de Asientos de 1885 .
Perfil [ editar ]
Desde 1979 Gloucester ha sido un distrito electoral de referencia al pasar entre representantes de los dos partidos más grandes de la misma manera que el gobierno. Después de casi tres décadas como escaño conservador, estuvo en manos de los laboristas de 1997 a 2010 antes de volver a ser conservador con una oscilación del 8,9%.

Representation reduced to one Member
In 1881, Robinson's willingness to stand down faced with a popular petition and the unwillingness of the Conservatives to make allegations nor investigate matters further led to suspicions of collusion between the parties and a Royal Commission was set up to examine electoral practices. The Royal Commission concluded that Gloucester was among the most corrupt of the seven towns investigated and that bribery was endemic in all elections in the city. The Commission concluded that half of the electorate had taken bribes in 1880 and blamed local politicians for most of the corruption. Despite these findings and virtually halving the electorate eligible to vote Robinson was reelected for Gloucester in 1885 when representation had been reduced to one member under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.[19]
