Шаблон:DistinguishШаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox UK constituency Glenrothes (Шаблон:IPAc-en) is a constituency in Scotland represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005.
The seat has been held since the 2015 general election by Peter Grant of the Scottish National Party (SNP), who gained it from the Labour Party, which had held it since its creation. The seat includes the major settlements of Cardenden, Glenrothes and Markinch.
Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies the Boundary Commission for Scotland recommended the constituency to be renamed Glenrothes and Mid Fife, to be first contested at the next general election.[1]
Boundaries
Шаблон:Maplink The current boundaries centre on Glenrothes itself, moving south and west to include Cardenden, and a small section of Kirkcaldy. The northern and western areas include Leslie and Markinch. In the east, the seat contains Leven, Kennoway, and Methil.
History
Glenrothes was created for the 2005 general election, mostly replacing Central Fife, but incorporating small parts of Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline East.
Creation in 2005–2008
The first holder of the newly created seat was John MacDougall, who died on 13 August 2008,[2] triggering a by-election.
2008
In the 2008 by election, Lindsay Roy was elected, the Labour majority falling by around 4,000 votes, with the Labour vote increasing by 3%; the SNP making significant gains from the lower-placed Conservative and the Liberal Democrat candidates.[3]
2010 general election
With the 2010 general election, the Labour share of the vote increased by 10% at the expense of the SNP candidate. The winner's total reached 62% of the votes cast, which places the seat in the top decile of seats won and therefore indicates a safe seat majority. Relative to the 2005 general election the swing against the SNP was less accentuated than relative to the by-election at 4.45% of the vote on the standard two-party measure of swing, which is comparable to the national swing.
