Wikipedian hubMid Dunbartonshire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election, when it was won by Susan Murray of the Liberal Democrats.
The constituency comprises the following wards of the East Dunbartonshire council area:[3][4]
It covers virtually all of the former East Dunbartonshire constituency, together with a small part of the Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East constituency (renamed Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch), including Lennoxtown and Milton of Campsie.[5]
Electoral Calculus characterises the seat as "Strong Left", with left-wing economic and socially liberal views, high levels of university education and an internationalist outlook including strong opposition to Brexit.[6]
