Before the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Act_1832" title="Reform Act 1832">Reform Act 1832</a> the right to vote was held by the male inhabitants paying <a href="/wiki/Scot_and_lot" title="Scot and lot">scot and lot</a> (a kind of local property tax). The franchise was the largest of any borough in the kingdom, and only the <a href="/wiki/County_constituency" class="mw-redirect" title="County constituency">county constituency</a> of <a href="/wiki/Yorkshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Yorkshire (UK Parliament constituency)">Yorkshire</a> had more voters. Sedgwick estimated the electorate at about 8,000 in the first half of the eighteenth century. Namier and Brooke estimated that there were about 12,000 voters later in the century. The large size of the electorate made contested elections immensely expensive. </p><p>In the sixteenth century the Church officials associated with <a href="/wiki/Westminster_Abbey" title="Westminster Abbey">Westminster Abbey</a> had a large influence in the area, but as the community became bigger that became less important. The Court (or His Majesty's Treasury) had some legitimate influence (by the standards of the age), because of the royal residences and government offices in the borough. The use of public funds to bribe the electorate was not unknown, during close elections (see the comments about the cost of the 1780 and 1784 contests below). Local landowners who were prepared to stir up ill-will by threatening to evict or raise the rents of tenants voting the wrong way, could also affect the result. </p><p>Unlawful means were sometimes used to make sure that the right candidates were elected. In 1722 the election of two Tories was declared void because of rioting which prevented some Whigs voting. In 1741 a <a href="/wiki/Whigs_(British_political_party)" title="Whigs (British political party)">Whig</a> returning officer called upon the assistance of some troops to close the poll before the Tory candidates could catch up to the Whig votes. </p><p>The House of Commons declared the 1741 election void with the ringing resolution that "the presence of a regular body of armed soldiers at an election of members to sit in Parliament, is a high infringement of the liberties of the subject, a manifest violation of the freedom of election and an open defiance of the laws and constitution of this kingdom". </p><p>By the eighteenth century it was normal for the members to be Irish peers, the sons of peers or baronets, as it was thought appropriate for them to be of high social standing so as to be worthy to represent the seat. </p><p>The Treasury spent the enormous sums of more than £8,000 in 1780 and £9,000 in 1784, in unsuccessful attempts to defeat the opposition <a href="/wiki/Whigs_(British_political_party)" title="Whigs (British political party)">Whig</a> leader <a href="/wiki/Charles_James_Fox" title="Charles James Fox">Charles James Fox</a>. So expensive were these contests that for the next general election in 1790, the government and opposition leaders reached a formal agreement for each to have one member returned unopposed. However, in the event a second Whig candidate did appear, but the Tory (the famous <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Hood,_1st_Viscount_Hood" title="Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood">Admiral Lord Hood</a>) and Fox were re-elected without too much difficulty. </p><p>The last MP for this constituency, <a href="/wiki/William_Burdett-Coutts" title="William Burdett-Coutts">William Burdett-Coutts</a>, was connected with a family prominent in City of Westminster politics since the eighteenth century. He himself was born in the United States in 1851, his grandparents on both sides having been British subjects. After he married <a href="/wiki/Baroness_Burdett-Coutts" class="mw-redirect" title="Baroness Burdett-Coutts">Baroness Burdett-Coutts</a> in 1881 he changed his surname from Bartlett to Burdett-Coutts. He represented the area from 1885 until 1918 and continued to sit for the Abbey division until his death in 1921. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lists_of_Members_of_Parliament">Lists of Members of Parliament</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Westminster_(UK_Parliament_constituency)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Lists of Members of Parliament"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The English civil year started on 25 March until 1752 (Scotland having changed to 1 January in 1600).

The leading candidates with the largest number of votes were elected. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/By-elections" class="mw-redirect" title="By-elections">by-elections</a> and all elections after 1885, to fill a single seat, the <a href="/wiki/First_past_the_post" class="mw-redirect" title="First past the post">first past the post</a> system applied. </p><p>After 1832, when registration of voters was introduced, a turnout figure is given for contested elections. In two-member elections, when the exact number of participating voters is unknown, this is calculated by dividing the number of votes by two. To the extent that electors did not use both their votes this will be an underestimate of turnout. </p><p>Where a party had more than one candidate in one or both of a pair of successive elections change is calculated for each individual candidate, otherwise change is based on the party vote. Change figures at by-elections are from the preceding general election or the last intervening by-election. Change figures at general elections are from the last general election. </p><p>Candidates for whom no party has been identified are classified as Non Partisan. The candidate might have been associated with a party or faction in Parliament or consider himself to belong to a particular political tradition. Political parties before the nineteenth century were not as cohesive or organised as they later became. Contemporary commentators (even the reputed leaders of parties or factions) in the eighteenth century did not necessarily agree who the party supporters were. The traditional parties, which had arisen in the late seventeenth century, became increasingly irrelevant to politics in the eighteenth century (particularly after 1760), although for some contests in some constituencies party labels were still used. It was only towards the end of the century that party labels began to acquire some meaning again, although this process was by no means complete for several more generations. </p><p><i>Sources</i>: The results for elections before 1790 were taken from the History of Parliament Trust publications on the House of Commons. The results from 1790 until the <a href="/wiki/1832_United_Kingdom_general_election" title="1832 United Kingdom general election">1832 general election</a> are based on Stooks Smith and from 1832 onwards on Craig.
