Like most of South Yorkshire, Rotherham is a Labour Party stronghold. Its seat in the House of Commons has been held by Labour MPs continuously since a by-election in 1933. After the resignation of Denis MacShane in November 2012 due to expenses, who was the Member of Parliament for Rotherham since a by-election in 1994, the seat was left open for a by-election to take place on 29 November 2012. Sarah Champion for Labour became the MP at that election.
