Election Campaigns

'The Electoral Reform Society for Scotland said half of Scotland's 72 MPs were elected even though more electors voted against them than for them - compared to 30 at the last general election. It also said that Labour had taken 78% of the Scottish seats with just 44% of the votes, while the third largest party, the Liberal Democrats, won twice as many seats as the Scottish National Party - which polled 100,000 more votes.'
