Rossendale and Darwen.

Andy MacNae's most notable departure from the Labour line came in June 2025, when he voted for New Clause 1 to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- backing stronger safeguards at Report Stage at a point when his party as a whole leaned against. Otherwise, his voting record is almost entirely loyal: 99.8% alignment with Labour over 441 votes, placing him among the most consistent government supporters in the 2024 intake. His most prominent local work has been a sustained road safety campaign in Rossendale and Darwen, which generated significant press coverage through early 2026 -- pushing councils and police toward preventive rather than reactive intervention, and drawing on specific constituency cases to make the argument in Parliament.

MacNae participates at 86%, above the Commons average for a backbencher without committee duties. His 135 contributions across 79 debates cluster around economy and jobs, local government, health, and fiscal policy -- a broad spread rather than a single specialism. He votes strongly for workers' rights and progressive taxation, and backs housing development. His stance scores show he is notably less aligned than the average Labour MP on parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight, and he sits below his party average on assisted dying questions generally, suggesting a cautious rather than permissive position on that issue.

Rossendale and Darwen is in Lancashire, not Scotland -- the constituency data supplied appears to contain an error on that point. MacNae holds no committee seats, which limits his formal influence at this stage. Local news coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume but mixed in tone, with crime and local government generating neutral-to-flat sentiment alongside more positive transport coverage tied to his road safety work.
