Falkirk is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 2005 general election, replacing Falkirk West and part of Falkirk East.
Until 2024, it was considered a safe SNP seat: at the 2015 general election, it was the seat with the largest majority for the SNP as well as the seat with the largest majority for any party in Scotland, retaining its record in the 2019 general election.[1] In 2024, Labour candidate Euan Stainbank defeated the SNP candidate after the retirement of previous MP John McNally in a political upset, returning the seat to Labour for the first time in over a decade.
