  Roseanna Cunningham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roseanna Cunningham (born July 27, 1951, Glasgow) is a Scottish politician, and member for the Scottish National Party for Perth in the Scottish Parliament.
John Swinney announced his resignation as leader of the SNP on 22 June 2004, and on the same day Roseanna Cunningham announced that she would be a candidate in the subsequent election for the party leadership.
She is sometimes known as Republican Rose for her well-known support for the replacement of the monarchy with an elected head of state.

 Still a formidable opponent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Stunningly effective in the by-election victory over the Tories in Perth almost a decade ago, the only SNP politician ever to defend such a win, and a scourge of Labour when she first confronted their MSPs in the Scottish Parliament, she was the deputy leader who seemed to disappear.
In this contest, she began brightly and seemed energised once more, promising a new battle across all fronts in which the SNP would reclaim leadership of Scottish radicalism inside and outside parliament at the head of anti-poverty campaigns and opposition to dumping redundant nuclear submarines at Coulport.
The next time they clashed, Ms Cunningham more or less accused her opponent of plotting behind John Swinney and stabbing him in the back, so maybe the campaign would not have been that positive or upbeat.
