		Approval of the national overview document should rest with the Parliament itself and it should be reviewed and updated every four years, between the Parliamentary elections, to reflect the administration’s priorities.
		We do not consider at this time that parliament should actually approve the document which is part way towards creating a form of statutory document for which the text itself is law, such as that prepared for the National Plan in Holland.
		The parliament and, in particular the Transport and Environment committee must have a key role to play in debating the direction and content of the overview document with final approval lying with the appropriate Scottish Minister.

	Electoral Marketing Blog » Are all voters equal in the United Kingdom?
		It is not difficult to understand why when you think about it in a constituency of 100 voters you decide how 1% of the total vote is cast in a constituency of 150 voters you get to cast a lower percentage of the total vote (about 0.7%).
		If constituencies with a smaller population were considered necessary in smaller area then the number of MPs could be reduced in the same proportion.
		I believe that STV can ensure that Parliament is representative of the people and accountable to the people, and that STV is the only system that can come close to treating each voter equally and while providing all voters with the choice that they deserve.

		This is because the creation of the devolved Edinburgh parliament in 1999 has led to a reduction in Scotland's historic over-representation at Westminster, which has long benefited Labour.
		He is now contesting the new constituency of Dumfries and Galloway, which has a notional Labour majority of 141, so the Scottish Tories could again be facing a wipe-out at Westminster level as they suffered in 1997.

	Scottish Devolution: A Historical and Political Analysis
		"Nationalism is a doctrine which holds that the boundaries of a state should coincide with those of the nation."<2> Although Scottish devolution is an attempt by the UK Parliament in Westminster to fend off a history of nationalist sentiment, it may eventually lead towards an independent Scottish nation-state.
		In November 1998 the Westminster Parliament passed the Scotland Act, as it did a Wales Act also, and it received Royal assent; the first elections to the Scottish Parliament are to be held on May 6, 1999.
		It was not until economic and political circumstances improved for the SNP that devolution became a concern of the UK Government.
