UK General Election
5th May 2005

Constituency of East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow

In line with the reduction of influence of Scotland in the United Kingdom's Westminster parliament, the parliamentary constituency of East Kilbride expanded for the 2005 election to become the new constituency of East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow. This comprises the old East Kilbride constituency with the addition of three wards from the old Clydesdale seat, changes which apparently make little difference to the political or social composition of the seat. The constituency includes the towns of East Kilbride and Strathaven and the villages of Blackwood, Chapelton, Glassford, Lesmahagow and Stonehouse.

Results for the 2005 elections to the UK parliament were:-
