As something a bit different for a pre-Election long read, I take one last look back at the 2017 General Election. It’s a rare whole-UK moment for Ballot Box Scotland, as we take a trip through the alternate reality of having used Proportional Representation instead of First Past the Post the last time we elected the House of Commons.

We bring our busy November to a close with two by-elections in the former Grampian (gone but not forgotten) region. With the general election looming ever closer, I again remind folk that these are not predictive of results for MP seats that could see turnout twice as high.

#11 – Glasgow North East
#10 – Motherwell and Wishaw
#9 – Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath
November’s flurry of council by-elections hit its peak this week, with three by-elections. With a General Election looming, I remind readers not to hook too many theories about the national situation on the shoogly peg of a handful of local by-elections.
We know the 4 Westminster parties are standing everywhere, but who else will we see on ballot papers across Scotland?
