	Airdrie & Shotts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The new Airdrie & Shotts seat consists of Airdrie from the old Monklands East seat with the addition of Shotts area from Motherwell North.
		Monklandsgate consisted of allegations of sectarianism spending discrepancies between Protestant Airdrie and Catholic Coatbridge fuelled by the fact that all 17 of the ruling Labour group were Roman Catholics.
		The accusations were of increased interest to the media as the Monklands West MP was Tom Clarke, former Monklands District Provost and onetime Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland, while the Monklands East MP was the Labour leader, John Smith.

	Hill & Knowlton UK Election Watch 2005
		The periodic changes to parliamentary constituencies south of the border are on their way, but will not occur until the election 2009/10 so for now the number of seats in the Commons will be reduced from 659 to 646, with the figure required for an overall majority falling to 324 seats.
		The Boundary Commission of Scotland's work in reducing the number of constituencies now means that electorates in most seats have increased to the average size of electorates in England, at least for the time being, and goes someway to answering the critics who point to Scotland's disproportionate presence in the UK Parliament.
		Some sitting Members of Parliament, faced with the prospect of a contest with parliamentary colleagues to become the party's candidate in a new seat, decided that discretion was the better part of valour' and chose to stand down.

	John Reid - UK Politician
		Born in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, to mixed-denomination parents, Reid was educated at St. Patrick's High School in Coatbridge, attending the school at the same time as his Secretary of State for Scotland successor Helen Liddell, before attending the University of Stirling, gaining a bachelor's degree in history and a Ph.D in economic history.
		He entered parliament in 1987 as MP for the Motherwell North constituency (later renamed Hamilton North and Bellshill).
		Reid is a Roman Catholic, and there was much speculation that he would become MP for the predominantly Catholic and rock-solid Labour seat of Glasgow East, however he was nominated for the seat of Airdrie and Shotts, a predominantly Protestant area, which he took with 59% of the vote.

	: "Human Rights and the Armed Forces" - Shotts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The meeting venue has been specifically chosen to be in John Reid's constituency as a challenge to his broken promise before the 1997 election that Labour would end the "5 year trap" whereby children could be signed up aged 16 to the armed forces and then not be able to leave for 5 years.
		There is a train to Shotts from Central Station at 18:15 that arrives in at 18:55 and then returns at 21:18 arriving back in to Glasgow at 21:59.
		The unwillingness of Parliament to ensure that members of the Armed Forces are provided with clear information about their conditions of service â€“ for example, about when they will be permitted to leave, about their familiesâ€™ being subject to military discipline, and about the civilian rights they will be giving up when they join.

		Ms Liddell and her family are greatly taken with the wonderful country that is Australia and, by great and good luck, Labour were looking for someone to be high commissioner to this sunny land.
		Reid's current position, which he has held since June 2003, is somewhat delicate: Reid represents a Scottish constituency but with the Scottish Parlaiment legislating on health matters in Scotland, his responsibility is soley for England and Wales.
		This consists of the old Airdrie & Shotts constituency plus two wards from the old Hamilton North and Bellshill constituency.

		So far we have contested the Airdrie and Shotts constituency at the 2005 General Election.
		As anticipated the first two petitions were viewed as inadmissible because they were deemed reserved matters of the UK Parliament.
		Their reasoning was that this affected the UK Constitution which is, yet again, a reserved matter.

	West Lothian Question and the Smoking Bill - soccer24-7.com Forums
		Provided the bar does not serve food, smokers will be able to puff away with impunity, while their compatriots in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, where much tougher blanket bans are set to come into force, are left to shiver on the pavement outside.
		A devolved English parliament would be a good idea, but would have to ultimately lead to the withdrawl of power from ALL devolved assemblies, and only grant them power for social issues, such as foxhunting, smoking in public, and other issues of minor important to political life.
		The student fees is the biggy, the MP's who voted against fees in Scotland towed the party line in Westminster and voted for, their votes removed and we wouldnt have fees.
