Glasgow City Council - Parliament of The United Kingdom

Parliament of The United Kingdom

For elections to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster) Glasgow City is now divided between seven constituencies. All seven are entirely within the Glasgow City council area, with boundaries first used in the 2005 general election, and each elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the plurality (first past the post) system of election.

Prior to the 2005 election, Glasgow City was divided between Westminster constituencies with the same names and boundaries as now existing Holyrood constituencies.

The seven Westminster constituencies created in 2005, and current MPs, are:-
