Havant.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP Alan Mak holds the seat on 30.8% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
A steady Conservative loyalist, Alan Mak has been active on the government benches in recent weeks -- voting to refer Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment and consistently opposing Labour's Pension Schemes Bill, where he sided with the Lords against a government power to direct pension fund investments. He has no rebel votes on record: every vote he has cast has aligned with the Conservative Party majority.
His voting participation sits at 74%, somewhat below the Commons average, and his stance profile is orthodox Conservative -- 90% aligned with pro-business positions, 86% anti-tax-increases, and 85% tough-on-crime. He is notably more sceptical of Lords scrutiny being overridden than most Conservative MPs, voting repeatedly to defend Lords amendments against government motions across multiple bills. His speeches concentrate heavily on the economy, jobs, and technology -- 34 contributions across those three areas alone in recent months -- suggesting a deliberate focus on industrial and digital policy rather than social issues.
Local coverage over the past 90 days is broadly positive and community-focused: Mak has held Q&A sessions, visited schools, campaigned for a banking hub in Havant, and hosted his 11th annual volunteering fair. These point to consistent, visible constituency work. He sits on no select committees, which limits his formal influence over legislation and scrutiny. Two data points worth noting: he votes more strongly for immigration control than the Conservative average (+17 percentage points) and is more opposed to assisted dying than most of his colleagues (+19 percentage points).
