Constituency profile

Glasgow North West lies on the north bank of the River Clyde. It is a seat of contrasts, taking in affluent areas of Glasgow, such as Jordanhill and Scotstoun; as well as more deprived areas such as the Drumchapel housing estate. The constituency was formerly a safe seat for the Labour Party.
