The total number of SNP MSPs elected was six fewer than in 2011. The Conservatives came second with 31 seats and 22.5% of the vote. The number of Conservative MSPs elected more than doubled and their share of the vote increased by 9.4% points. This was the best performance for the Conservatives at any Scottish Parliament election so far. Labour came third with 24 seats and 20.8% of the vote. Labour lost 13 seats and their share of the vote fell by 8.2% points. The Liberal Democrats won 5 seats and 6.5% of the vote, while the Scottish Green Party won 6 seats and 3.6% of the vote. Average turnout across all constituencies and regions increased from 50.4% in 2011 to 55.7% in 2016. The highest constituency turnout was in Eastwood, where 68.3% of the electorate cast valid ballots. The lowest constituency turnout was in Glasgow Provan, where 42.9% of eligible voters participated. Following the elections, the composition of the Scottish Parliament is 84 men and 45 women. The number of women MSPs is the same as in the 2011 elections and two more than in the 2007 election.

Introduction The fifth set of elections to the Scottish Parliament took place on Thursday, 5 May 2016, on the same day as elections to the National Assembly for Wales, elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly, local authority elections in England, and elections the Greater London Authority. The electoral system The system for electing members to the Scottish Parliament is known as the Additional Member System. Voters are given two ballot papers. The first is used to elect each of 73 constituency Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) under the traditional first-past-the-post system. The second ballot paper is used to elect seven MSPs from each of eight electoral regions. These additional members are elected so that the total representation from each geographical area, including those members elected under first-past-the-post, corresponds more closely to the share of the votes cast for each political party in the region. The political context The fifth Scottish Parliament elections were the first to take place since the referendum on Scottish Independence held in September 2014. That referendum stimulated electoral participation in Scotland. The turnout at the referendum was 84.5% votes, which was the highest turnout at a nationwide referendum or parliamentary election in Scotland since the franchise was extended to women in 1918.1 Turnout at the following general election in May 2015 was higher in Scotland than in any other nation or region of the UK. At that election turnout in Scotland was 71.0% compared with 66.2% for the UK as a whole.2 The 2015 General Election also saw a substantial increase in the number of SNP MPs elected to the Westminster Parliament, from 6 to 56 MPs. At the same time the number of Labour MPs in Scotland fell from 41 to one. The number of Conservative MPs in Scotland was unchanged at one. 2016 Election Results The SNP gained the highest share of the vote with 44.1% of the total vote, 46.5% of the constituency vote and 41.7% of the regional vote. The SNP also won the highest number of seats (63), down six compared with the 2011 election. The SNP’s share of the vote increased by 1.1% points in the constituency ballot and fell by 2.3% points in the regional ballot. The difference between the SNP’s share of the vote in the constituency and regional ballots was higher at the 2016 election than at any other 1 House of Commons Library, Scottish Independence Referendum 2014 2 House of Commons Library, General Election 2015 6 Scottish Parliament Elections: 2016 previous Scottish Parliament election.

  • The Membership of the Independent Labour Party, 1904–10
    DEI AN HOP KIN THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE INDEPENDENT LABOUR PARTY, 1904-10: A SPATIAL AND OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS E. P. Thompson expressed succinctly the prevailing orthodoxy about the origins of the Independent Labour Party when he wrote, in his homage to Tom Maguire, that "the ILP grew from bottom up".1 From what little evidence has been available, it has been argued that the ILP was essentially a provincial party, which was created from the fusion of local political groups concentrated mainly on an axis lying across the North of England. An early report from the General Secretary of the party described Lancashire and Yorkshire as the strongholds of the movement, and subsequent historical accounts have supported this view.2 The evidence falls into three categories. In the first place labour historians have often relied on the sparse and often imperfect memoirs of early labour and socialist leaders. While the central figures of the movement have been reticent in their memoirs, very little literature of any kind has emerged from among the ordinary members of the party, and as a result this has often been a poor source. The official papers of the ILP have been generally more satisfactory. The in- evitable gaps in the annual reports of the party can be filled to some extent from party newspapers, both local and national. There is a formality, nevertheless, about official transactions which reduces their value. Minute books reveal little about the members. Finally, it is possible to cull some information from a miscellany of other sources; newspapers, electoral statistics, parliamentary debates and reports, and sometimes the memoirs of individuals whose connection 1 "Homage to Tom Maguire", in: Essays in Labour History, ed.
