Apr 2026
A safe SNP seat, won with 44% of the vote in 2019.
A decade in Westminster has left almost no recent trace for this SNP member. Douglas Chapman, who has represented Dunfermline and West Fife since 2015, shows zero recorded participation in divisions, no speech data, and no notable news coverage in the available period -- making it difficult to characterise any current parliamentary activity at all.
Without voting or speech records to draw on, there is no pattern to assess. No rebel votes, no committee roles, and no identifiable policy focus emerge from the data. Whether this reflects a gap in data coverage or a genuine period of low activity at Westminster cannot be determined from the available information alone.
Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
