I haven't been able to find out how many rejected papers for Caithness, Sutherland & Easter Ross. In 2003 there were 190 rejected papers
I wonder how many people did not receive their postal ballots.
I also wonder if the number of rejected papers is greater than or equal to the majority.

can someone post them on here ??
Many thanks for that - most interesting. How did Gordon Campbell manage to increase his vote - is this a protest or would some really like to see him raising merry hell in Holyrood? Must admit it's a tempting prospect.

He works hard at the task and he has the interests of the rea at heart. he may have some odd characteristics but he is also genuine which cannot be said for most aspiring politiians.

Hes a little eccentric but he means well. Saw him on the tv earlier waving his arms about...not sure why though.
One thing I like about him is he campaigns all the time and not just during the run up to elections.

Can someone tell me how Rob Gibson SNP was a challenger against Jamie Stone and managed to still become MSP via the List, there should be an inquiry to this, as he was standing as SNP candidate against Jamie Stone, he shouldn't be allowed to stand as a challenger as SNP knew he wouldn't beaten Jamie Stone. What a farce, you can become a MSP either winning or on the list.

Its just the way it works
Annabel Goldie lost her constituency challenge but was the first name on the tory list and was returned.
I think Alex Salmond was the first name on the SNP list incase he didnt win his constituency in which SNP were coming from third
Some candidates make better regional MSPs than constituency MSPs
Although i have know idea how Stone gets back each time, i can only imagine its something to do with John Thursos coat tails who is a good UK constituency MP

I voted for Gordon Campbell, on the basis that all candidates wanted to work for the good of the people, but he had the only credible energy policy.
