	Outright Scotland's Response to The Size of the Scottish Parliament - a Consultation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Considering all the roles and responsibilities of Members of the Scottish Parliament in the work of its committees, constituency representation, meetings of the full Parliament and staffing the Scottish Executive there are currently too few MSPs to perform these functions to the high level the electorate expect and deserve.
		A significant strength of the Scottish Parliament, that cannot be exaggerated and must not be under estimated, is that it has afforded the people of Scotland a far greater reflection and representation of their will and their diversity than they have ever enjoyed before.
		As such a move would effectively deprive the Parliament of the equivalent of the entire membership of a single committee it is probable that the whole Scottish Parliament would become unworkable.

	Aspect: The Campaigns for a Scottish Parliament
		The success of pro-devolution forces in the 1997 referendum was based upon the broad range of support for the creation of a Scottish parliament and was characterised by a level of cross-party support previously not seen within the campaigns for Scottish self-government.
		Over the years the main parties in Scotland have debated internally over their position on Scottish devolution and the four main parties have all undergone periods of shifting levels of support and opposition to the prospect of a Scottish Parliament.
		Despite earlier demands for action on Scottish self-government, it was not until the success of the SNP in local and by-elections in the late 1960s that Harold Wilson's government established a royal commission on the constitution in 1969.

	Did You Know? - Electoral System for Scottish Parliament
		So when the prospect was raised again in the 1990s of a devolved Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, to look after local issues, it was clear that if the UK electoral system was adopted, Labour would invariably have a majority.
		Thus a party with a large number of constituency seats in a region will have a large denominator, while those parties with a smaller numbers of constituency seats but a good number of second votes will have a much smaller denominator.
		The "Independent" seats in the 1999 election were won by a member of the Green Party, a member of the Scottish Socialist Party and a true "independent" (a former member of the Labour Party).

		I have been doing some work developing my website (which is now at http://www.election.demon.co.uk/election.html) and while preparing the results of the Scottish Parliament referendum I discovered a fairly big discrepancy in the count from Fife Council.
		Their reply suggests it may have resulted from voters demanding only the ballot paper for the second question, though presiding officers were instructed to give all voters both ballot papers, and such people would be marked as voting and therefore included anyway.
		The Scottish Office verified that the results which were issued were those which were certified by the counting officer in Fife and so they represent the result of the referendum in spite of being inaccurate.
