Glasgow South is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster). It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

The constituency was first used in the general election of 2005.

Boundaries

Glasgow South is one of seven 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 area of the South constituency was covered by the Glasgow Cathcart constituency and parts of the Glasgow Govan, Glasgow Rutherglen and Glasgow Pollok constituencies.^[1]

Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the names and boundaries of the older Westminster constituencies.

Description of the constituency

Although currently a safe Labour seat, Glasgow South has some considerable pockets of affluence and is not necessarily like other Glasgow seats.
