===National=== {{Main|List of Parliamentary constituencies in Cumbria}}Until the [[2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 general election]], there were six parliamentary constituencies in Cumbria: [[Barrow and Furness]], [[Carlisle (UK Parliament constituency)|Carlisle]], [[Copeland (UK Parliament constituency)|Copeland]], [[Penrith and the Border]], [[Westmorland and Lonsdale]], and [[Workington (UK Parliament constituency)|Workington]]. Five were won by the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] in the [[2019 United Kingdom general election]], with Westmorland and Lonsdale won by the Liberal Democrats. The [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] abolished Copeland, Workington, and Penrith and the Border, replacing them with the new constituencies of [[Penrith and Solway]] and [[Whitehaven and Workington]]. The three remaining constituencies underwent significant boundary changes, including some electoral wards being transferred from Westmorland and Lonsdale to [[Morecambe and Lunesdale]], making the latter a cross-county constituency (it had previously been exclusively in [[Lancashire]]). {| class="wikitable" |- !
