Bootle is a constituency which has been represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Peter Dowd of the Labour Party since 2015.
The constituency was originally a Conservative seat, being represented by Conservative Party leader Andrew Bonar Law from 1911 until 1918 when property qualifications for the vote were abolished. A Liberal seat in the 1920s, it then became a Conservative - Labour marginal in the 1930s. The Labour Party has held it continually since the 1945 general election which saw two decades of steep decline in the profitability of Liverpool Docks, manufacturing and shipbuilding which employed many workers. In each general election from 1997 until 2010 it was the safest seat for any party in Britain.
In 1990, there were two by-elections in Bootle. The first followed the death of Allan Roberts on 21 February, and was held on 24 May. That by-election is remembered because Jack Holmes, the candidate of the continuing Social Democratic Party (representing the part of the SDP which did not merge with the Liberal Democrats) was humiliatingly beaten by Screaming Lord Sutch of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. The victorious Labour candidate, Michael Carr, died on 20 July 1990 after just 57 days in office.
