Independent 4. Largest council in Scotland; historic shipbuilding on the River Clyde. Some working class parts of the city are infamously poor but give a misleading impression about the rest.
Feargal Dalton (Victoria Park) moved from Scottish National Party to Independent in April 2025. Frank McAveety (Shettleston) moved from Labour to Independent in April 2025. Philip Braat (Anderston/City/Yorkhill) moved from Labour to Independent in March 2025. At byelections on 20 March, the Scottish National Party gained Labour seats in North East and Southside Central wards.
