===Parliamentary constituencies=== The county has five [[Parliamentary constituencies in Shropshire|parliamentary constituencies]]. In the July 2024 General Election, two returned Conservatives MPS, two Labour and one Liberal Democrat. At the 2005 general election, four returned Conservative MPs, Telford, returned a Labour MP. This is a marked change from the 2001 general election result, where the county returned only one Conservative, three Labour and a Liberal Democrat MP to the House of Commons (see maps to the right) (Labour = Red, Conservatives = Blue and Liberal Democrats = Orange). The current MPs of Shropshire, following the 2024 General Election, are: * [[Shaun Davies (politician)|Shaun Davies]], Labour, [[Telford (UK Parliament constituency)|Telford]] (covering the town of [[Telford]]) * [[Helen Morgan (politician)|Helen Morgan]], Liberal Democrat, [[North Shropshire (UK Parliament constituency)|North Shropshire]] (covering the former [[North Shropshire]] and [[Oswestry (borough)|Oswestry]] districts, now coextensive with the North area committee) * [[Stuart Anderson (politician)|Stuart Anderson]], Conservative, [[South Shropshire (UK Parliament constituency)|South Shropshire]] (covering the former [[Ludlow]] and (the majority of) Bridgnorth districts; now co-extensive with the South area committee except for the part covered by The Wrekin constituency) * [[Julia Buckley]], Labour, [[Shrewsbury (UK Parliament constituency)|Shrewsbury]] (covering the former [[Shrewsbury and Atcham (UK Parliament constituency)|Shrewsbury and Atcham]] district; now co-extensive with the Central area committee) * [[Mark Pritchard (politician)|Mark Pritchard]], Conservative, [[The Wrekin (UK Parliament constituency)|The Wrekin]] (covering [[Telford and Wrekin]] borough, minus Telford, and including a small area of the former Bridgnorth district/South area committee) {| class="wikitable" |- !
