  • Scottish Parliament Election Preview: the Last Beats of a Labour 'Heartland
    Scottish Parliament election preview: the last beats of a Labour ‘heartland’ in Central Scotland? democraticaudit.com /2016/04/25/scottish-parliament-election-preview-the-last-beats-of-a-labour-heartland-in- central-scotland/ By Democratic Audit UK 2016-4-25 The Scottish Parliament elections take place early next month, with the SNP expected to solidify their dominance in the post-referendum Scotland. The Central Scotland region has long been a Labour stronghold with the party’s legendary and revered first leader Keir Hardie from the area. Here, Judith Sijstermans previews the contests, and suggests that this election may represent the ‘last beats’ of the Labour ‘heartland’. Motherwell (Credit: Pete Birkinshaw, CC BY 2.0) The Central Scotland region is the birthplace of the Labour Party’s first leader Keir Hardie and forms part of what used to be seen as solidly Scottish Labour Party “heartland.” However, Central Scotland was decisively changed by the 2011 elections. In those elections, the SNP gained 5 constituency seats from Labour. Two more of Labour’s remaining three MSPs in Central Scotland won on precarious margins. Motherwell and Wishaw Labour MSP John Pentland won by only 587 votes (2.4%) and Uddingston and Bellshill Labour MSP Michael McMahon won by only 714 votes (2.8%). The 2011 elections also suggest that it is unlikely that this region will contribute to attempts by the Tories to overtake Labour in opposition. In 2011, both the Conservative constituency vote in Central Scotland (7.24%) and the Central Scotland regional list vote (6.4%) were only half of the Tories’ national average.
