context_page_description: The city of Glasgow, located in Scotland, UK, is represented in both the Westminster Parliament in London, and the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh. At Westminster, it is represented by seven Members of Parliament, all elected to represent individual constituencies at least once every five years, using the first-past-the-post system of voting. In Holyrood, Glasgow is represented by sixteen MSPs, nine of whom are elected to represent individual constituencies once every five years using first-past-the-post, and seven of whom are elected as additional members, through proportional representation.
  The current Westminster constituencies have been in use since the 2005 General Election, and those currently used at Holyrood were implemented following a boundary review in 2011. At Westminster, six MPs representing Glasgow constituencies belong to the Scottish National Party and one from the Labour Party. Each MP was elected in 2017. In Holyrood, following elections in May 2016, all nine Glasgow constituency seats are currently held by the Scottish National Party.
