| Description | But while it’s clear that activists from opposing parties take similar delight in talking up the rumours about Swinson, the SNP have an energetic and locally visible challenger in Amy Callaghan, who at 27 is two years older than Swinson was when she was first elected MP for the constituency in 2005.
The SNP are hoping that this largely affluent constituency, which attracts Glasgow’s urban middle classes with its high-performing schools and green spaces, contains the kind of middle-class Scots who voted no to independence in 2014 but have become increasingly indy-curious as their disgust at Westminster’s handling of Brexit grows.
Meanwhile, there are mutterings from some East Dunbartonshire Lib Dems that Swinson’s local campaign has been chaotic, and frustration that – inevitably given her leadership role – she has not been as present in the constituency as during previous elections. |
