Ealing East was a special area in Middlesex, England, that had its own representative in the UK Parliament. It was one of a few areas that made up the Municipal Borough of Ealing between 1945 and 1950. This area included the main town centre of Ealing. After 1950, its boundaries changed, and it became part of west London in 1965.
People living in Ealing East got to choose one person, called a Member of Parliament (MP), to speak for them in the House of Commons. This is the main part of the UK Parliament. They used a voting system called "first past the post". This means the candidate with the most votes wins.
Ealing East only had one election, which was the general election in 1945. This election was a big win for the Labour Party, led by Clement Attlee. However, the person who won in Ealing East was Frank Sanderson, a Conservative. He had already represented the area before it was called Ealing East.
