Torridge and Tavistock.

A veteran Conservative MP with a notably low voting participation rate, Geoffrey Cox has nevertheless voted consistently with his party -- and recently backed opposition moves to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment. He has also voted repeatedly to support the Lords' position on the Pension Schemes Bill, opposing the government's power to direct pension fund investments, and voted against carrying over the Northern Ireland Troubles legacy legislation.

At 43% participation -- well below the Commons average -- Cox votes when he does attend in lockstep with Conservative colleagues, with no rebel votes on record. His stance profile is strongly pro-business and anti-employer NI increases, while placing him among the least supportive Conservative MPs on assisted dying (0% aligned versus a 54% party average) and civil liberties. His 32 recent speech contributions have focused on the economy, defence, fiscal policy, and local government. He holds no current committee positions.

Local news coverage paints a more active picture: Cox has backed residents opposing a Tavistock housing development, launched a petition over Royal Mail's decision to end doorstep deliveries, met with farmers alarmed by inheritance tax changes, and pressed Stagecoach's chief executive over school fare rises. This constituency casework drives most of his positive local press. His parliamentary voting record, however, is limited -- constituents should weigh his local advocacy against the fact that he misses more than half of Commons votes. No recent negative coverage is recorded.
