	East Lothian (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Unitary Council By-Elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The by-election in Musselburgh East was the first for an East Lothian ward since reorganisation in 1995 and gave the Scottish National party their first ever councillor in Musselburgh.
		Because of the latter change, the town of Musselburgh is part of the Lothians Regional constituency for the Scottish Parliament, while the rest of the county of East Lothian is, much to the confusion of local residents, not part of the Lothians, but of South of Scotland.
		East Lothian District council was firmly in Labour hands in 1984, and remained solid until the 1992 elections when Labour's majority was slashed dramatically from seven to just a single seat as the Tory vote surged throughout the county.

		The new Tory MP for Berwickshire & East Lothian was Michael Kerr, Earl of Ancram, the son and heir of the Marquis of Lothian.
		Such was the case in East Lothian, and after a public inquiry, the seat was left untouched, with the exception of the transfer of Musselburgh back to Edinburgh East, which left John Home Robertson with a comfortable notional majority of 7,099 down from 9,964 in 1992.
		East Lothian's roads have been totally neglected with wags claiming that many cars are disappearing in the town of Dunbar not due to car theft, but because they are falling into the many enormous potholes in the town's roads.

		"East Lothian lies to the east of Edinburgh, comprising mostly agricultural land and seaside resorts, one of which (Gullane) is home to the Muirfield Open Championship golf course.
		Cockenzie, with its coal-fired power station, and the ex-mining towns of Prestonpans and Ormiston, (along with Dunbar to the east), are all Labour strongholds that can easily outvote the small farming villages and coastal resorts.
		East Lothian has been among the constituencies to suffer from the downturn in the electronics industry.

	House of Commons - Scottish Affairs - Minutes of Evidence
		The Committee's inquiry is considering the implications of reducing the number of Scottish constituencies at Westminster from 72 to 59 whilst not reducing the number of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament.
		The creation of 59 Westminster constituencies which do not have co-terminous boundaries with 73 Scottish Parliament constituencies is likely to cause confusion among constituents who will be in different constituencies.
		Uniquely in any democratic system, voters would be expected to cast their votes in three different ways—using a cross for a candidate in one ballot paper, choosing between parties in another ballot paper, and listing candidates from the same and different parties in numerical order of preference in the third ballot paper.

		My constituents in Scotland, like people throughout the country, suffered grievously over those years, so I find it hard to express the joy and happiness that I and my constituents feel now that we are, at last, in a position to begin to put things right.
		A large part of my constituency is involved in agriculture and beef farming--a sector that has suffered more than most in recent years because of the appalling incompetence of the Government and the outrageous aggravation of our relationships with our European partners.
		I was the constituency delegate at the 1976 Labour party conference which moved the resolution that led to the party's commitment to the establishment of a Parliament for Scotland.

		The new parliament building at Holyrood is the perfect symbol of the waste, incompetence and perverse priorities of the last four years of Lab/Lib rule - £350 million is a national scandal - with the cost still spiralling under John Home Robertson's convenorship.

		However, now that the Parliament is in operation, the actual situation has become far clearer, and two new factors have emerged showing that a drastic reduction in the proposed spaces is not only very desirable but wholly realistic.
		We also note that the parking arrangements for the present Parliament are presumably considered adequate security-wise; and therefore the argument that MSPs need an individual space at Holyrood 'for security reasons' is unconvincing.
		However, if Parliament gives itself privileges which have been denied to others because they are detrimental to the City or to government objectives, then it opens itself to justifiable criticism.

	Official Status for Gaelic: Prospects and Problems
		There is no Act of Parliament conveying such status to the language, as with Welsh; nor, given Britain's lack of a written constitution, is there any kind of constitutional protection, such as Irish enjoys in the Irish Republic.
		Second, there were skeptical, utilitarian queries about the need to expand Gaelic's rôle given its weak demographic position, and stereotypical comments presenting Gaelic as a language unsuited to the practicalities of the modern world, a living fossil to be reserved for songs, poetry, and other forms of "cultural" expression.
		The East Lothian Question remains a critical problem for proponents of official status for Gaelic, who must wrestle with the nature of Gaelic's rôle in Scotland — whether it is the true national language, whether it is a national language at all.
