		The North West of England is often regarded as one of the key barometer regions at general elections and this time will be no different, even though there has been something of a long-term swing in many of its 76 constituencies away from the Conservatives.
		But despite this and the introduction of a devolved parliament with powers over a swathe of domestic policy, Scotland remains of vital importance in the nationwide contest, not least because of Labour’s continued strength in the 59 redrawn constituencies and the continued high profile of their Westminster representatives in government.

		The Speaker of the House of Commons is an MP and has to stand for re-election in his or her constituency at every general election.
		The Speaker is a neutral figure in Parliament, so Mr Martin is no longer a member of the Labour Party as he was before his election to the role (by all the other MPs).
		For example, in the last election, the swing across the UK, excluding Northern Ireland, was 1.8% from Labour to the Conservatives.

	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.

	Commons Comment 16/02/06 - Tommy McAvoy - MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West
		It’s always good to meet visitors to Parliament, and it continues to intrigue me how many people arrive with quite firm pre-conceptions about the place and the MPs who work there, only to leave with a completely different perspective on Parliament and its workings.
		It’s unfortunate that for obvious geographical reasons, it’s not as easy for my constituents to visit Westminster as it is for people who live in the south of England, but I am always happy to show constituents around or to arrange a tour if I’m not available personally.
		Of course, we currently have a Scottish Speaker of the House in Michael Martin, the MP for Glasgow North East, and it was certainly quite an occasion in the ornate surroundings of the dining room of the Speaker’s House in the Palace of Westminster.
