MP for Dunfermline and Dollar
“A party-loyal backbencher with very low parliamentary attendance and a centrist voting record focused on energy policy and renters’ protections.”
Graeme Downie is a Labour and Co-operative MP for Dunfermline and Dollar, elected in July 2024. He currently sits on the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee and on the Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Bill committee, and has previously served on committees for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill, the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill, and the Procedure Committee.
He shows near-total party loyalty with no recorded rebel votes, but his attendance is well below the parliamentary average. His votes across issues are mixed: he rarely aligns strictly with a single bloc, often opposing stronger measures on mental health, climate action and transport regulation while backing renters' protections; he has a cautious stance on welfare and employment policy, with a mix of aye and no votes.
Declares six financial interests, including gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (three entries), and visits outside the UK (two entries), plus miscellaneous entries.
