The six constituencies within Sheffield have consistently voted for the very [[liberal]] British parties. In the 2010 general election five were won by the British Labour Party and one by the Liberal Democrat's. <ref>http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/elections/election-results/2010/general-election-2010</ref> The Liberal Democrat seat is currently held by their leader, [[Nick Clegg]]. His constituency, Sheffield Hallam, is extremely [[liberal]] thanks mainly to its make up being predominately students from the two universities in the city.
