Glasgow's south-eastern constituency of Rutherglen is based on an area that constituted a discrete burgh until the 1970s. A certain resentful assertion of local independence, following the area's incorporation into Glasgow, could well account for the subsequent rise of a Liberal challenge here in the 1980s. This has since subsided, and an opposition split between three parties will see Labour clear in a seat, which they probably consider rightfully theirs.
