Constituency
The constituency covers the city of Carlisle itself. It also covers the rural area of the district to the south and west of the city, including the village of Dalston. The remaining parts of the district are in the Penrith and The Border constituency. Historically the constituency was tightly drawn around the city which favour the Labour Party but has gradually expanded to contain more rural areas within the district that are far more Conservative-inclined, such as Burgh, Dalston and Wetheral. This has seen the constituency shift from being a safe Labour seat to marginal status.
