Your MSPs West Scotland Dumbarton Clydebank Greenock and and Milngavie Inverclyde Strathkelvin and Bearsden North and West Paisley Renfrewshire SouthS h Eastwood NorthNortr h Cunninghame SouthSSouth The Scottish Parliament The Scottish Parliament is the law-making body for devolved matters in Scotland. It is made up of 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) who are elected by the people of Scotland to work on their behalf and make decisions on devolved issues. The devolved issues that the Scottish Parliament can take decisions on include: • agriculture, forestry and fi shing • civil and criminal justice • education and training • environment • Gaelic • health • housing • local government • natural and built heritage • planning • police and fi re services • social work • sport and the arts • statistics and public records • tourism and economic development • transport 2 Your MSPs A constituent may expect one of their MSPs to take on a case or query. However, it is up to the MSP to decide how best to deal with the request. MSPs may choose to deal with an issue in a number of ways, including: • contacting relevant bodies (for example local councils, housing associations, health boards) • writing to or meeting with the relevant Cabinet Secretary or Minister in the Scottish Government • asking a parliamentary question • initiating a debate • proposing an amendment to a bill • raising the profi le of an issue in the media MSPs will respect the privacy of the person who has contacted them and any confi dentiality surrounding the issue. 3 How to contact your MSPs There are various ways in which to contact an MSP. You can write to individual MSPs by name at: The Scottish Parliament Edinburgh EH99 1SP Each MSP also has an email address. The standard format is: fi rstname.lastname.msp @ scottish.parliament.uk If you telephone Public Information at the Scottish Parliament on 0131 348 5000 or 0800 092 7500 you can be put through to an MSP’s offi ce in the Parliament or be given contact details for his or her local offi ce. Contact details for each MSP can also be found at www.scottish.parliament.uk/msp Most MSPs hold regular surgeries within the area they represent. Please contact your chosen MSP using one of the methods above to fi nd out when and where their surgeries take place. 4 Constituency and region Everyone in Scotland is represented by eight MSPs: one for their constituency (Eastwood, for example) and seven for the larger region in which they live (for example, West Scotland). This is one of the differences between the Scottish Parliament and the UK Parliament. For issues that are dealt with by the Scottish Parliament, each constituent can decide which of their eight MSPs they would prefer to contact. For example, a constituent may wish to contact an MSP from a particular party or one whom they have heard of locally. Constituency and regional MSPs have equal status within the Parliament, and constituents are free to contact any of their eight MSPs. 5 West Scotland constituency MSPs This map of West Scotland region is colour coded to show the party that holds each constituency seat.

  • Invitation to Join the Government of Britain

    Invitation to Join the Government of Britain

    INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN THE CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO FOR ScOTLAND 2010 INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN A country is at its best when the bonds between people are strong and when the sense of national purpose is clear. Today the challenges facing Britain are immense. Our economy is overwhelmed by debt, our social fabric is frayed and our political system has betrayed the people. But these problems can be overcome if we pull together and work together. If we remember that we are all in this together. Some politicians say: ‘give us your vote and we will sort out all your problems’. We say: real change comes not from government alone. Real change comes when the people are inspired and mobilised, when millions of us are fired up to play a part in the nation’s future. Yes this is ambitious. Yes it is optimistic. But in the end all the Acts of Parliament, all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, are just politicians’ words without you and your involvement. How will we deal with the debt crisis unless we understand that we are all in this together? How will we raise responsible children unless every adult plays their part? How will we revitalise communities unless people stop asking ‘who will fix this?’ and start asking ‘what can I do?’ Britain will change for the better when we all elect to take part, to take responsibility – if we all come together. Collective strength will overpower our problems. Only together can we can get rid of this government and, eventually, its debt.

We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).
