Glasgow North is a burgh constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (at Westminster). It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system.
It was first contested at the 2005 general election, and the incumbent MP is Martin Rhodes who was elected for Scottish Labour in 2024.
At the 2016 referendum on UK membership of the European Union, the constituency voted overwhelmingly in favour of "Remain" with 78.4%. This was the fourth-highest support for a Remain vote in any constituency in the United Kingdom. [1]
Under the Fifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies which came into effect for the 2005 general election, the boundaries were defined in accordance with the ward structure in place on 30 November 2004 as containing the Glasgow City Council wards of Firhill, Hillhead, Hyndland, Kelvindale, Maryhill, North Kelvin, Partick, Summerston, Woodlands, and Wyndford. Further to reviews of local government ward boundaries which came into effect in 2007 and 2017, but did not affect the parliamentary boundaries, the constituency comprised the City of Glasgow Council wards or part wards of: Hillhead (nearly all), Maryhill, Canal (minority) and Partick East/Kelvindale (most).
Glasgow North is one of six constituencies covering the Glasgow City council area. All are entirely within the council area.
Prior to the 2005 general election, the city area was covered by ten constituencies, of which two straddled boundaries with other council areas. The North constituency includes most of the former Glasgow Maryhill constituency, central sections of the former Glasgow Kelvin constituency and a Kelvindale area from the former Glasgow Anniesland constituency. [2] Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the names and boundaries of the older Westminster constituencies.
The Glasgow North constituency has the University of Glasgow within its boundaries, and stretches out through Kelvindale to the large Summerston housing development. The largest element of the seat, in terms of former constituency boundaries, came from the Maryhill constituency, which was a mainly working class seat. The Glasgow North seat also included the more middle class areas of Hillhead, Hyndland and Kelvindale.
Further to the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, Glasgow North had significant boundary changes. It comprises: [3]
