You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Morecambe and Lunesdale''' is a [[List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies|constituency]]((#tag:ref|A [[county constituency]] (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n)) represented in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|UK Parliament]] since 2010 by [[David Morris (Conservative politician)|David Morris]], a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]].((#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] system of election at least every five years.|group= n))

==Constituency profile==
((more citations needed|date=May 2016)) 
Since 1979 the constituency has been a [[bellwether]] and includes the seaside town and many villages as well as the north bank of the City of Lancaster, which is largely [[Skerton]]. This seat brings together northern semi-rural reaches of Lancashire bisected by the [[M6 motorway|M6]], including seaside [[Silverdale, Lancashire|Silverdale]] and [[Carnforth]] south of the Cumbria border, the seaside resort of [[Morecambe]] and the nuclear power station/ferry port village of [[Heysham]] which provides a direct east–west service to [[Warrenpoint]], [[Northern Ireland]]. Separating [[Morecambe]] from [[Lancaster, Lancashire|Lancaster]] is a narrow belt of parkland, houses and the White Lund industrial estate.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.openstreetmap.org|title=OpenStreetMap|work=openstreetmap.org))</ref>

==Boundaries==
((maplink|raw=((Wikipedia:Map data/Morecambe and Lunesdale (UK Parliament constituency)))|frame=yes|text=Map of  boundaries before 2023 changes))
Before 1950, Morecambe was in the Lancaster constituency. This seat was formerly [[Morecambe and Lonsdale (UK Parliament constituency)|Morecambe and Lonsdale]] and gained a new name and redrawn boundaries in 1983. For the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|general election of that year]], sections of the constituency were removed to be united with the former county of [[Westmorland]] in the [[Westmorland and Lonsdale (UK Parliament constituency)|Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency]]. For the 1983 election the electoral wards used in the creation of the new seat were:

*Alexandra, Arkholme, Bolton-le-Sands, Carnforth, Halton-with-Aughton, Harbour, Heysham Central, Heysham North, Kellet, Overton, Parks, Poulton, Silverdale, Slyne-with-Hest, Torrisholme, Victoria and Walton<ref>((cite book|last=Crewe|first=Ivor|title=British Parliamentary constituencies - a statistical compendium|year=1983|publisher=faber and faber|isbn=0-571-13236-7|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/britishparliamen00crew))</ref>

In boundary changes in the 2000s, only minor adjustments were made. Parliament approved the recommendations in the [[Boundary Commission for England|Boundary Commission]]'s [[Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster Constituencies]] in respect of this area, enacting only minor boundary alterations. The constituency had City of [[Lancaster, Lancashire|Lancaster]] electoral wards:
*[[Bolton-le-Sands]], [[Carnforth]], [[Halton-with-Aughton]], Harbour, [[Heysham]] Central, Heysham North, Heysham South, Kellet, [[Overton, Lancashire|Overton]], Poulton, [[Silverdale, Lancashire|Silverdale]], [[Skerton]] East, Skerton West, [[Slyne-with-Hest]], [[Torrisholme]], Upper [[River Lune|Lune]] Valley, Warton and Westgate.

===2023 changes===
Further to the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]], due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):<ref>((cite web |title=Statutory Instruments: 2023 no. 1230: Representation of the people; Redistribution of seats: The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/made |website=legislation.gov.uk |access-date=29 November 2023))</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Rouncivell |first1=Gayle |title=Boundary changes set to go ahead for Lancaster and Morecambe constituencies |url=https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/people/boundary-changes-set-to-go-ahead-for-lancaster-and-morecambe-constituencies-4200549?r=9915 |access-date=29 November 2023 |work=Lancaster Guardian |date=28 June 2023))</ref>

[[City of Lancaster]] wards:
*[[Bare, Morecambe|Bare]] 
*[[Bolton-le-Sands|Bolton]] & [[Slyne-with-Hest|Slyne]] 
*[[Carnforth|Carnforth & Millhead]] 
*[[Halton-with-Aughton]]

*[[Silverdale, Lancashire|Silverdale]] 
*[[Torrisholme]] 
*Upper [[River Lune|Lune]] Valley 
*[[Warton, Lancaster|Warton]] 
*Westgate (Morecambe)

Wards of the former [[South Lakeland]] district, now in [[Westmorland and Furness]]:

*[[Arnside]] & [[Milnthorpe]] 
*[[Burton-in-Kendal|Burton]] & [[Crooklands]] 
*[[Sedbergh]] & [[Kirkby Lonsdale]]
''The three South Lakeland wards will be transferred from [[Westmorland and Lonsdale (UK Parliament constituency)|Westmorland and Lonsdale]], partly offset by the transfer of the community of [[Skerton]] going to the re-established seat of [[Lancaster and Wyre (UK Parliament constituency)|Lancaster and Wyre]].''

==History==
Once a safe [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] seat, [[Morecambe]] followed its neighbour and fellow seaside town, [[Blackpool]], by voting [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] in the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]]. The results in the general elections of 1997, 2001 and 2005 had remarkably similar majorities with virtually no [[Swing (politics)|swing]] to the Conservatives. The Conservatives gained the seat at the [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010 general election]] with an above average swing.
