Clydesdale, to the south of Central Scotland's main industrial belt, is a large and quite rural constituency. There are more industrial and former coal-mining communities in the north, but to the south, towns like Lanark and Biggar have more of the feel of the comfortable market towns. Labour's apparent hold on the seat is largely attributable to the opposition vote being fairly evenly split between the Conservatives and the Scottish Nationalists. If the Tory vote were theoretically to collapse in the direction of the SNP, or, less likely, vice versa, then the Labour Party could lose, but other things being equal, Labour's Jimmy Hood should be safe.
