Situated to the east of Exeter is the affluent seat of East Devon.

Well-known names in the constituency include Broadclyst, Budleigh, Clyst Valley, Exmouth (pictured), Lympstone, Ottery St Mary, Sidmouth, Topsham, Whimple and Woodbury.

The area also has a shoreline on the Jurassic Coast.

The constituency is home to a large number of retired pensioners - one in four of the population is over the age of 65 - the sixth highest proportion of any constituency in England and Wales, according to ONS 2011 census figures.

Considered to be a safe Conservative seat,since 2001 it has been held by Hugo Swire, who stood down for this election.

This may be why it has a slightly wider field of candidates than other Devon constituencies, including: Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, two independents and a first-time Conservative candidate.

A large seat in the rolling rural landscape in mid and east Devon, the areas covered by Tiverton and Honiton have elected Conservative MPs for decades.

Named after the two market towns that are the major population centres in the area, Honiton (pictured) is also known for lace-making.

According to the 2011 census, nearly a quarter of the constituency's residents are over 65 and 98.5% of its population is white.

Conservative Neil Parish won the seat in 2010 with a majority of 9,320, bolstering his support in the 2015 and 2017; and possibly hoping to boost his numbers further this time around.

However, UKIP came second in 2015, which may be why it has fielded a candidate in 2019 along with Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens.

The rural seat of Torridge and West Devon is the largest geographically in the county, including a few places some think may be in the North Devon constituency, including Bideford and Appledore.

Other famous Devon town and village names also reside in the constituency, including Buckland Monachorum, Clovelly (pictured), Great Torrington, Tavistock, and Westward Ho!

There is bound to be multitude of industries with such a large area, and business interests include: agriculture, defence, hospitality and tourism, construction, engineering and some fishing.

Seen as a Conservative-Liberal Democrat marginal for many years, the constituency was staunchly Conservative until the defection of sitting Tory MP Emma Nicholson to the Liberal Democrats in 1995.

Lib Dem John Burnett took over in 1997 until 2005, when incumbent Conservative Geoffrey Cox seized it back.

Jeremy Corbyn will step down as leader of the Labour Party in the “next few days” says Labour candidate Luke Pollard.

Mr Pollard, seeking re-election for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, said: “We have a vacancy for deputy leader with Tom Watson standing down and we will have a vacancy for leader when Jeremy announces his resignation as I expect him to do in the next few days.”

Mr Pollard said the exit polls were “looking pretty grim”.

“I think Jeremy’s time as leader is over," he said.

“We need to recognise this is the worst defeat for Labour in modern times and as leader you are responsible for that election.

“It will be for a new generation to come forward. Right across the country we have some outstanding MPs who are being re-elected who have different ways of doing politics.

“We need to learn from the difficulties in selling a manifesto with Jeremy as leader and the difficulties in selling a Brexit position that was not as firm as I would have liked it to be.”

The new MP for Truro and Falmouth says that she will make sure that money being put into the health service in Cornwall is spent where people want it.

Cherilyn Mackrory was elected as the new Conservative MP for Truro and Falmouth in the first Cornish General Election 2019 result to be announced.

She takes over the seat from Sarah Newton who decided not to stand for re-election.

Ms Mackrory, who is also a Cornwall councillor, said: "It all happened very quickly. I decided to throw my hat into the ring and was selected five weeks ago.”

Asked about her aspirations she said trying to find a cycle route from Truro to Falmouth to get more cars off the roads and tackle pollution.

She said: "Also, lots of projects around plastic waste and waste in the countryside and beaches.

"Also the money that is coming into Cornwall that is being spent properly, so the £450million that is coming for the health services, I heard that mentioned on the doorstep lots and lots of times and people have got very good ideas for how they would like it to be spent and I want to make sure it is spent how people would like it to be.”

He wins with a solid margin of 8,700 votes.

The seat of South West Devon has been Conservative since the 1970s, with Alan Clark representing Plymouth Sutton - which included much of the area - from 1983 to 1992, when current incumbent Gary Streeter took over.

This is a varied constituency that incorporates part of the city of Plymouth, plus part of the South Hams district, making it is part rural and part coastal.

Other town and villages included in the constituency are: Bickleigh, Brixton, Ivybridge, Wembury (pictured) and Yealmpton. It also borders Dartmoor.

This involves a straight four-way race between the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens.

Taking in the Devon towns of Sutton and Devonport before they were swallowed up by the city they now are part of, this maritime seat occupies the southern part of the city of Plymouth, including the naval dockyards.

Devonport (pictured) remains the largest naval base in western Europe, employing thousands of forces personnel and civilians - maintaining a position as one of the major employers in the city. It also supports hundreds of local firms in industries such as engineering and boat-building.

The University of Plymouth's main campus is also in this seat - another major employer in the city; as is the city centre itself.

The city has been undergoing much redevelopment in recent years, including several of its housing areas.

Conservative Oliver Colvile won this seat when it was created in 2010 after boundary changes, keeping it until Labour's Luke Pollard took it in 2017.

The Brexit Party have fielded a candidate in this constituency, but did not do so in Moor View for the 2019 poll.

Election staff in Plymouth will be monitoring counting carefully this year. Last month it was revealed that hundreds of students and under-18s were registered to vote without their consent following admin errors.

This was after thousands of votes were not included in the 2017 count for the then newly-elected Mr Pollard although the miscount did not affect the result.

Bordered by Dartmoor and the River Tamar, Plymouth Moor View covers the northern part of the naval city.

The constituency came into being in 2010 after the last round of national electoral boundary changes.

Considered the more working class of Plymouth's two seats, it has more social housing than its southern neighbour.

It is also a base for several industrial areas, as well as the city's Derriford Hospital - a major trauma centre for the South West and major city employer.

Alison Seabeck won the seat for Labour in 2010 when the seat was first created until Tory Johnny Mercer won it in 2015 and held it in 2017.

Although The Brexit Party fielded a candidate in the city's other constituency, Sutton and Devonport, it did not do so in Moor View for the 2019 poll.

Situated nearer the east of Devon is the seat of Exeter - which is also the county town.

The historic cathedral and university city is also the retail and administrative centre for much of Devon, particularly the county council area and Exeter's city council (although not for Plymouth and Torbay which are unitary authorities).

It is home to the University of Exeter (one of the top 150 in the world), the Met Office's weather forecasting headquarters and the county council offices - the three largest employers in the city.

Predominantly a Conservative seat since World War Two, Labour's Ben Bradshaw has held Exeter since the Labour landslide of 1997, seeing increases in his majority in the more recent 2015 and 2017 polls.

The seat of North Devon is to have a new MP in the 2019 general election no matter what.

That's because Peter Heaton-Jones, the former journalist who won the seat in 2015, announced in October that he was standing down after a change in his "family circumstances".

The constituency contains two of north Devon main towns - Barnstaple (pictured above) and Ilfracombe - and has been a Conservative-Liberal marginal since its creation in 1950.

It was the electoral home to one of the most infamous figures in British politics: Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe, who held the seat from 1959 until 1979.

He lost heavily to the Conservatives when his life was engulfed in scandal and he faced trial on conspiracy and incitement to murder charges, of which he was later cleared.

The 2019 poll may be less likely to be throwing up such stories, but the Liberal Democrats saw a drop in votes of nearly 20% in 2015 before a 9% rise in 2017.

This means again it looks like it will be the now usual two-horse race between the Tories and the Liberals, even though Labour, the Greens and an independent candidate are also standing.
