Encyclopedia: British elections After Labour's poor performance in the PR elections in the devolved assemblies - failure to win an outright majority in the proportional hybrid AMS elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, the case for reform within the Labour party was further diminished. An election is a process in which a vote is held to elect candidates to an office. Labour passed the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, which created the Electoral Commission, which from 2000 was responsible for the running of elections, referendums and to limited extent regulates party funding. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/British-elections

SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT FACTS AND INFORMATION The elections for the Scottish Parliament were the first in the UK to use the Additional_Member_System (AMS), which is a method of proportional_representation (although various forms of PR had already been used in EU Parliamentary elections, and in Northern_Ireland for local councils and the Assembly). At the first meeting of the Parliament in July 1999, the "mother of Parliament" Winnie_Ewing, sitting by virtue of being the oldest MSP at the time, declared that the Scottish Parliament, which had been adjourned in 1707, was now reconvened, thus explicitly proclaiming a connection with the previous body. An election was held in May 1999, and power was transferred from Westminster on 1_July 1999 to the new Parliament in its temporary home in the General_Assembly_Hall on the Royal_Mile. www.flowergods.com /Scottish_Parliament

Scottish Conservatives - MONTEITH WELCOMES POLL CHANGE MOVE I have no doubt that the public debate about the service they provide in the lead up to May 1st elections this year was overshadowed because the parliamentary poll was being held at the same time.

WESTMINSTER NO MORE - by Kevin Williamson No seats were won, few deposits were saved, but the election could be deemed a success as both primary objectives were achieved, with no small thanks due to the consistent work and relentless campaigning of Tommy Sheridan who had waged a one-man war for socialism and independence in the hostile environment of the Scottish Parliament. In Scotland, for the Westminster Elections of 1997, there was a genuine enthusiasm to participate, in order to get a measure of electoral revenge on the ruling Tory Party who had done such damage to the people of our country for the preceding eighteen years. Maybe, if all elections took place annually, at the very least, as the early Chartists demanded when they fought for the vote, it might be a bit more representative. srsm.port5.com /swr/winter2004/nowestminster.html
