SHOPPER'S DELIGHT

Pollok has been regarded as among the safest Labour seats in Scotland , but it has become the home of the Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan . However, Johann Lamont , well-known for her old Labour credentials, won the seat for Labour in 1999 with a respectable 17.8% majority over the Scottish National Party 's Kenny Gibson.

Glasgow Pollok is a Plurality Voting System constituency and is part of the Glasgow electoral region for the Additional Member System (AMS).
