West Dunbartonshire.

Elected in 2024, Douglas McAllister broke with Labour five times on 20 June 2025 -- all on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. His votes pushed for tighter safeguards: he backed amendments blocking voluntary starvation as a route to eligibility and supported procedural moves to enable further scrutiny. These are the only rebel votes on his record, but they place him notably above the Labour average on end-of-life autonomy and assisted dying safeguards. Away from Westminster, he has drawn local coverage for championing WASPI pension campaigners, raising asbestos cancer compensation in an adjournment debate, and touring West Dunbartonshire businesses -- all covered positively by the Clydebank Post.

At 89% voting participation -- broadly in line with the Commons average -- and 97% party-line alignment, McAllister is a reliable Labour vote. His stance profile reflects this: 100% aligned on progressive taxation, 88% on workers' rights, 93% on housing development. He departs from the Labour average most sharply on anti-sexual-exploitation votes (33% versus a 64% party average), though the data does not explain why. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, local government, and defence, with social care and cost-of-living also featuring heavily.

McAllister sits on the Scottish Affairs Committee, which shapes his focus on issues with a Scottish dimension, including industrial policy -- he voted to allow the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill to proceed. His constituency news over the past 90 days skews neutral to mixed, with crime-related coverage the most frequent category. Formal speech and voting data is available from July 2024; longer-term behavioural patterns will take time to establish for this first-term MP.
