What is past is prologue

A "brief" overview of the history of General Election results in the Medway towns and the people who have represented us.

This is a bonus edition of Local Authority - a free independent weekly Medway newsletter covering local news, politics, culture, and the weirder side of our towns. To be notified as soon as the latest edition is available, please hit the subscribe button below. Thanks for reading!

This piece is the latest rerun of a short series of revised articles from The Political Medway archives. From next month, Mondays will bring exclusive one-one interviews, retrospective essays about Medway, and other interesting explorations. But for now an update on the MPs that make up Medway.

Note: An earlier version of this piece was posted on The Political Medway in 2015, which covered the General Election of 2010, so this is a revision in the loosest possible sense because Marty, we are going back to 1295!
