Bradford is a city based on heavy engineering and textile industries. The Bradford North seat had been held for one Parliament by the Conservatives from 1983 to 1987, when the Labour candidate Pat Wall (a member of the Militant tendency) saw his vote split by a strong SDP challenge and by the sitting Labour MP Ben Ford standing as an Independent. (The successful Conservative, Geoffrey Lawler, had only 34.3% of the vote.) The by-election took place when Margaret Thatcher was highly unpopular and in her last month as Prime Minister. Declining support for the Conservative government (which improved after John Major succeeded Thatcher near the end of November 1990) was reflected by the fact that the Conservative candidate in this by-election only attracted just over one in six of the total votes cast. The successful Labour candidate Terry Rooney became the first Mormon to be elected to the House of Commons.1990-11-17 Member of the Church elected to Parliament in England https://www.thechurchnews.com/archives/1990-11-17/member-of-the-church-elected-to-parliament-in-england-147952 2021-04-06 Church News en-US Bradford North by-election 1990http://www.election.demon.co.uk/by1987.html Results of Byelections in the 1987-92 Parliament Boothroyd David 2015-10-01 United Kingdom Election Results Labour Party (UK) Terry Rooney 18,619 51.7 +8.9 Liberal Democrats (UK) David Ward 9,105 25.3 +7.6 Conservative Party (UK) Joy Atkin 6,048 16.8 -22.7 Islamic Party of Britain David Pidcock 800 2.2 New Green Party of England and Wales Michael Knott 447 1.2 New National Front (UK) Robert Tenney 305 0.8 New Independent (politician) Joseph Floyd 219 0.6 New Official Monster Raving Loony Party Wild Willi Beckett 210 0.6 New Liberal Party (UK, 1989) Noel Nowosielski 187 0.5 N/A Independent Conservative Malcolm Wigglesworth 89 0.2 New 9,514 26.4 +23.1 36,029 53.4 -19.3 Labour Party (UK) See also List of United Kingdom by-elections List of parliamentary constituencies in West Yorkshire References External links British Parliamentary By Elections: Campaign literature from the by-election Bradford North by-election Category:By-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in Bradford constituencies Bradford North by-election Bradford North by-election Category:1990s in West Yorkshire
