The Renfrewshire Council area lies within the Scottish parliamentary constituencies of Paisley North, Paisley South and West Renfrewshire, each of which elects directly a member of the Scottish parliament. In addition, Renfrewshire lies within the larger West of Scotland region which elects a further seven regional list MSPs using a form of proportional representation.
Both types of MSPs, constituency and regional, have equal status in the Scottish parliament.
