Dunfermline and Dollar.
Labour Party MP Graeme Downie holds the seat on 45.7% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
Graeme Downie has spent much of 2025-26 pursuing local economic wins -- securing £3 million for a Rosyth-Europe ferry service, backing a £5 million defence innovation hub at Rosyth, and championing £40 million in Fife funding. He has challenged the SNP directly over what he called "misinformation" about Rosyth investment prospects, and co-founded a Living Standards Coalition focused on constituent cost-of-living pressures. These are among the most prominent things he has done in Westminster terms: concrete, constituency-focused campaigns rather than nationally visible parliamentary manoeuvres.
His parliamentary record is steady and loyal. He has voted with Labour on every recorded division -- a 100% party-line rate -- though his participation sits at 66%, below the Commons average. His speeches concentrate heavily on economy and jobs, defence, and energy, which tracks both his constituency's Rosyth dockyard interests and his seat on the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee. He scores notably low on pro-parliamentary-scrutiny measures (7%) and consistently backs the government against Lords amendments, which fits a pattern of strong executive loyalty in the current Parliament.
Two deviations from Labour's average are worth noting. He is less aligned than his party on criminal justice reform (-19 percentage points) and sits closer to the anti-assisted-dying position than the Labour average, having voted more cautiously on end-of-life autonomy questions. News coverage over the past 90 days is modestly positive on economic and defence issues but more mixed on energy topics. No rebel votes have been recorded and no significant controversies appear in available data.
