The seat, one of many created in 1918, was a narrower form of the oldest creation of South Northamptonshire and lasted 32 years until it reverted into "South Northamptonshire". Finally today's seat was recreated mostly from the north of the South Northants seat in 1974. Since its recreation and during its first existence it has been served by Conservative MPs. As the 1997 majority was also not marginal, it has been to date an archetypal safe seat.
Owing to population increase, as described above, the Boundary Commission created a new seat in the county from the 2010 general election leading to a reduction in area of the Daventry seat. The seat consists of:
The town is also the administrative centre of the larger Daventry district, which has a population of 77,843 (2011 census).
Geography
The town is 76.4 miles (123km) north-northwest of London via the M1 motorway, 13.9 miles (22.4km) west of Northampton, 10.2 miles (16.4km) southeast of Rugby. and 15.8 miles (25.2 km) north-north east of Banbury.
The town sits at around 440–520ft (135–160 m) above sea level. It is surrounded to the south and east by hills topping out at 738ft (225 m). To the north and west the land is generally lower than the town. Daventry sits on the watershed of the River Leam which flows to the west of England and the River Nene which flows east. There is no river in the town and the largest gatherings of water are two reservoirs made to supply the canal that swings from Watford Gap into the west midlands through the 2,042 yd (1.9km) long Braunston Tunnel around the north of the town. To the north west is Drayton Reservoir and to the north east is the Daventry Reservoir and country park.
At the 2011 Census, the district had a population of 77,843, a little under a third of whom (25,026) lived in the town of Daventry. Other significant settlements include Brixworth, Long Buckby and Weedon Bec. The rest of the district is predominantly rural.

Who Can I Vote For?: Daventry
The UK General Election in 2024 uses the new electoral boundaries. Only 65 of the 650 seats are staying the same. Some seats are new, while some are abolished. In these videos we look at why boundaries are changing, a summary of the new constituency including demographics and geography, how the population of the new constituency is formed from the old seats. Then we get into the politics. We present the results for each of the constituencies in 2019, then look at the trends for the main seat that is being replaced. For the main seat, we look who won, who came second, and the majority. We look at the graph of the vote share for the last 4 elections. Then we list the final list of candidates and make a prediction for the 2024 winner based on predictions using an optimistic scenario and a bad...

What to Make of the Midterms?
The midterms are over with results from Lambeth, Llanelli, and Lothian making this year’s devolved and local elections a truly national affair. The press has taken an enormous interest and the fates of national party leaders, and perhaps even the whole country, are being presented as though hanging in the balance.
The SNP got an increase in their vote share after 14 years in power at Holyrood but still failed to win a majority. Labour in Wales secured their best result, winning half the seats at the Welsh Parliament. The Tories—after a decade long rule at Westminster—gained councils and increased vote share in mayoral elections in what were once seen as unwinnable Teesside and Birmingham. In the Hartlepool by-election voters switched to the Tories — with Labour then dramatically switching...

The midterms are over with results from Lambeth, Llanelli, and Lothian making this year’s devolved and local elections a truly national affair. The press has taken an enormous interest and the fates of national party leaders, and perhaps even the whole country, are being presented as though hanging in the balance.
The SNP got an increase in their vote share after 14 years in power at Holyrood but still failed to win a majority. Labour in Wales secured their best result, winning half the seats at the Welsh Parliament. The Tories—after a decade long rule at Westminster—gained councils and increased vote share in mayoral elections in what were once seen as unwinnable Teesside and Birmingham. In the Hartlepool by-election voters switched to the Tories — with Labour then dramatically switching their top team around as a response to the result.
Are we overthinking the results, are they designed in a way that gives a national picture, and do we even want them to? What do the political parties’ responses say about their own sense of where they'd like to be this far from a general election? What do the results mean for devolution and localism? Do they give succour or pause for thought to the intentions and interventions the Tory government at Westminster has in mind over the next few years? And what should we make of the fact that Cornish Nationalists Mebyon Kernow increased their seat tally by 25%?
To discuss all this and more are:
Matt Kilcoyne — Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Institute (host)
Tom Harwood — Political Correspondent at GB News. As a journalist and commentator he has previously written for Guido Fawkes and the Daily Telegraph.
Rachel Cunliffe — Deputy Online Editor at the New Statesman. She is a regular guest on the BBC and Sky News. Previously, Rachel was Comment and Features Editor at City A.M.
Stephen Daisley — Columnist for the Scottish Daily Mail and a regular contributor to the Spectator. He once called Matt Kilcoyne a "dangerous leftist".
