Felicia Jane Beatrix "Flick" Drummond^[1] (born 16 June 1962 in Aden, Yemen) is a British Conservative Party politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Portsmouth South since May 2015.^[2]

Parliamentary career

Before entering Parliament, Drummond sat on Winchester City Council, however she emigrated to the United States without resigning her seat, forcing a by-election for her seat to be held in the 2000 election after her term had expired. She was first selected to stand in Parliamentary elections in 2005 after returning from America.

Drummond contested Southampton Itchen in 2005, coming second to Labour's John Denham. In the 2015 general election she succeeded the incumbent, Mike Hancock, as Member of Parliament in Portsmouth South, having come second to him in the 2010 general election.

Drummond is opposed to Brexit.^[3][4] She believes the referendum result diminished the UK's influence in Europe.^[4]
