A safe SNP seat, won with 53% of the vote in 2019.
A decade into his parliamentary career, Stuart C McDonald is currently showing no recorded activity in the data available for this briefing period -- with zero divisions participated in, no speeches logged, and no committee roles active. This may reflect a gap in data capture rather than genuine absence, but nothing in the available record points to recent parliamentary engagement to highlight.
McDonald has represented Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East since 2015 and built a prior reputation as one of the SNP's leading voices on immigration and asylum policy, serving for several years as the party's home affairs spokesperson -- a role that made him a regular presence in Commons debates on some of the most contested legislation of the post-Brexit period. That established record means any current quietness represents a notable shift from his earlier profile, though the reasons cannot be confirmed from the data available.
Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
