	Edinburgh West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Edinburgh West includes Edinburgh's 'stockbroker belt' of Corstorphine, Barnton and Cramond and has been held by the Conservatives since 1931, albeit with excruciatingly small majorities in the past three elections when there were fierce battles with the Liberals.
		Edinburgh West was an extremely difficult seat to predict due to the addition of the Queensferry and Kirkliston areas - predominantly Scottish National Party/Labour areas added to a predominantly Conservative/Liberal Democrat seat.
		It seems likely that Edinburgh West prefer to try to get a new candidate in and settled while they are comfortably ahead for the first time ever thanks to Mr Gorrie's 1997 victory, rather than risk losing the seat in a few years time when their popularity may have dropped.

		To similar effect is the Scottish Land Court Act 1993 (1993 c.45, s.1(5)), requiring a Gaelic-speaking member on the seven-member Land Court, which deals with non-crofting land disputes in the Highlands and Islands as part of its national remit.

	Gordon Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was elected to Parliament as a Labour MP for Dunfermline East in 1983, becoming opposition spokesman on Trade and Industry in 1985, then Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury and Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, before becoming Shadow Chancellor in 1992.
		The Labour defeat in the Dunfermline and West Fife 2006 by-election, after a campaign largely led by Brown -covering the constituency in which he lives - does however, cast doubt on his ability to win elections without Blair wooing the middle classes.
		The stand-off illustrates a contrast between the parliamentary system of democracy, in which there is no theoretical limit to ministerial tenure and it is unusual for Prime Ministers to announce their date of departure in advance, and presidential systems which in which fixed terms and often term limits are the norm.

	Mark Lazarowicz: Edinburgh North & Leith
		Member for Edinburgh, West (John Barrett), bravely confirmed in the Scottish Liberal Democrats manifesto for the recent election that it was Liberal Democrat policy to "scrap petrol duties and car tax altogether replacing them with a national system of road user charging based on location, congestion and pollution."
		I commend him on his bravery in saying that, especially because he represents Edinburgh, which is an urban area with plenty of congestion, so the policy would probably cost those of his constituents who drive into the centre of Edinburgh perhaps £100 a week in road user charges.
		Yes, the scheme was rejected by the electorate in Edinburgh, but I was making the point that the Liberal Democrats were at the forefront of the campaign against it.

		If Scottish MPs were to abstain from voting on English matters, we could end up with one party having a majority on English matters and a different party having a majority on UK matters, which would be a complete disaster.
		The Scottish parliament has imposed top up fees on UK students from outside Scotland to discourage ‘fee refugees’ from places like England applying to Scottish universities to avoid the top up fees introduced in their own countries.

	The Current Political
		While the Scottish National Party (SNP) and Liberal Democrats made some gains at the expense of the Conservatives, Labour were confirmed as the dominant party in Scotland, they have every seat in the central belt except a lonely Liberal Democrat in Edinburgh West.
		There could be various reasons why support for a parliament was stronger in Scotland than in Wales, but while large parts of Scotland are apart from the central belt and have their own regional identity, there is nothing like the way large parts of Wales are closer to Liverpool or Birmingham than Cardiff.
		At the coming Scottish Parliamentary election the SSA would need to roughly double its vote at the general election in Glasgow to win a seat there, this could be difficult but is by no means impossible.

		EASTERMAN: [Reporting from the central lobby of Westminster, where the British Parliament meets, with the sound of Big Ben chiming in later.] The relationship between the UK parliament in Westminster and the Scottish one in Edinburgh works well enough for the moment, because they're both led by the same party—Labor.
