The seat dates back to 1918. Generally a Labour safe seat since World War II, it was gained narrowly by a Conservative in their major win in the 1983 General Election who gained a much increased majority in 1987 before holding the seat narrowly in 1992. It has had safe Labour majorities since 1997, and with the exception of the Conservative ward of Bush Hill Park, all other wards are usually safely Labour at local level.
Boundaries
The constituency occupies the south eastern part of the London Borough of Enfield. It is made up of seven electoral wards from the borough:
Following its review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England made some changes to Edmonton. Ponders End ward was transferred from the constituency of Enfield North to Edmonton. Part of Southbury ward was transferred to Enfield North. Parts of Grange ward, Palmers Green ward, and Bowes ward were transferred from Edmonton to Enfield, Southgate. Part of Bush Hill Park ward and a tiny part of Upper Edmonton ward were transferred from Enfield, Southgate to Edmonton.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census, making it Alberta's second-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represents 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300 within the Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonton is the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.
Edmonton railway station is on the Canadian National Railway mainline in Edmonton, Alberta. The railway station is located near the Edmonton City Centre Airport, approximately 5.5 kilometres from the city centre. Served by Via Rail's The Canadian three times per week in each direction, the station is unusually located on a branch of the main line, meaning that trains must either reverse into or out. The station opened in 1998 following the closure of the downtown Via Rail station which was located in the lower level of Edmonton's CN Tower.

Who Can I Vote For?: Edmonton and Winchmore Hill
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.

The debate was opened by Liz Twist MP, a member of the Petitions Committee.
Why is this petition being debated?
The Petitions Committee has the power to schedule debates on e-petitions in the House of Commons Second Chamber, Westminster Hall.
In deciding which petitions should be debated, it takes into account how many people have signed the petition, the topicality of the issue raised, whether the issue has recently been debated in Parliament, and the breadth of interest among MPs.
What will the petition debate achieve?
Debates on petitions in Westminster Hall are general debates about the issues raised by the petition.
MPs can discuss the petition and, if they wish, ask questions about the Government’s position on the issue or press the Government to take action.
A Government Minister takes part in the debate and answers the points raised.
These debates help to raise the profile of a campaign and could influence decision-making in Government and Parliament.
Petition debates in Westminster Hall cannot directly change the law or result in a vote to implement the request of the petition.
Creating new laws, or changing existing ones, can only be done through the parliamentary legislative process which involves a number of debates, and detailed consideration of the law in draft, in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
This process is normally started by the Government, although there are some ways in which individual MPs or members of the House of Lords who are not in the Government (known as "backbenchers") can ask Parliament to consider new laws.

She said: "Tonight the people of Edmonton have given a clear message to David Cameron: keep your hands off our NHS. They have rejected the Tory Government that is only standing up for the privileged few."
Osamor continued: "I have dedicated 15 years of my life in the NHS and I will be proud to dedicate my times as and Mp with the same values. We need an NHS that is free at the point of use, GPs that are available when we need them. Private money to support but not to undermine... the people of Edmonton have voted not only for me but to save the NHS. I thank you."

DAVID LAMMY has welcomed his Labour colleague Kate Osamor to parliament following her victory in Edmonton earlier this morning.
The Tottenham MP who retained his seat with an increased majority said: "It's fantastic.
"Kate is really a wonderful daughter of the constituency of Tottenham. I've known her for fifteen years or more. She is going to be a fantastic member of parliament for Edmonton.
"I supported her in her quest for that constituency which was wonderfully served by Andy Love but I think in selecting Kate the Labour Party made the right decision and she will represent that seat very very ably over the coming years. I look forward to working very closely with her."
In her victory speech, Osamor vowed to fight for the NHS.
She said: "Tonight the people of Edmonton have given a clear message to David Cameron: keep your hands off our NHS. They have rejected the Tory Government that is only standing up for the privileged few."
Osamor continued: "I have dedicated 15 years of my life in the NHS and I will be proud to dedicate my times as and Mp with the same values. We need an NHS that is free at the point of use, GPs that are available when we need them. Private money to support but not to undermine... the people of Edmonton have voted not only for me but to save the NHS. I thank you."
Boris Johnson has held on to his seat with 25,351 votes with Labour's Ali Milani running second winning just over 18,000 votes.
And Lord Buckethead won 125 votes.

The seat dates back to 1918. Generally a Labour safe seat since World War II, it was gained narrowly by a Conservative in their major win in the 1983 General Election who gained a much increased majority in 1987 before holding the seat narrowly in 1992. It has had safe Labour majorities since 1997, and with the exception of the Conservative ward of Bush Hill Park, all other wards are usually safely Labour at local level.
Boundaries
The constituency occupies the south eastern part of the London Borough of Enfield. It is made up of seven electoral wards from the borough:
Following its review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England made some changes to Edmonton. Ponders End ward was transferred from the constituency of Enfield North to Edmonton. Part of Southbury ward was transferred to Enfield North. Parts of Grange ward, Palmers Green ward, and Bowes ward were transferred from Edmonton to Enfield, Southgate. Part of Bush Hill Park ward and a tiny part of Upper Edmonton ward were transferred from Enfield, Southgate to Edmonton.
