OTHER than the islands of South Uist and Barra in the Na h-Eileanan an Iar constituency, which uniquely in Scotland were untouched by the Protestant Reformation, the parts of the country with the highest proportions of Roman Catholics are Inverclyde and Coatbridge.
So it’s no surprise that Inverclyde was one of the constituencies the SNP struggled to retain in 2017 when Labour made a partial recovery under. The incumbent MP Ronnie Cowan was relieved to sneak home by a margin of just 1%, although on a more positive note he then rebuilt his majority over Labour to 19 points in 2019 – a better recovery for the SNP than in some of the other constituencies where Labour had performed well in 2017.
It may be difficult for him to save his deposit, which means the main impact of his involvement is likely to be a slight reduction in the SNP vote.
