Map by Conal Kelly
This constituency takes in the largely rural Antrim district council and parts of the more suburban Newtownabbey district council. The member of parliament is David Burnside (UUP), who defeated the DUP's William McCrea in the 2001 election; McCrea had held the seat for less than nine months, having won it in a September 2000 by-election held after the death of Clifford Forsythe (UUP), who had represented the constituency since it was revised in 1983. It was almost untouched in the latest round of changes.
