Renfrewshire – Ballot Box Scotland

Local Elections 2022

Wards Worth Watching: Renfrewshire

What ward ISN’T worth watching in Renfrewshire? Gey few, apparently. The SNP have a route to a majority, Labour have a route to a resurgence, the Conservatives have a route to growth, and the Lib Dems have a route to elimination.

For many LGBT folk like me, and especially trans folk, Keir Starmer will be remembered in the same way as Margaret Thatcher: with deep contempt for having overseen a deeply hostile, queerphobic government, which rolled back human rights and set society back by at least a decade.

Good riddance.

By-Election Result: Arbroath and Broughty Ferry

The least exciting of the three by-elections that took place on Thursday, from a Scottish perspective it's the one closest to (but still not actually) a useful national barometer.

By-Election Result analysis: Aberdeen South

A high profile move from Westminster to Holyrood leads to an absolutely huge loss for the SNP, as the Conservatives play a blinder of a tactical campaign.

As Conservative candidate and now MP, Douglas Lumsden, is also an MSP for the North East, he will have to resign from Holyrood within 49 days. That will bring in James Adams as his party replacement, as the only new Conservative MSP. This will also make Holyrood majority (65) new vs returning MSPs.
