'Ms Constance, who is standing again in Livingston, has an outside chance of getting elected if the SNP has a particularly good election. Although she failed to take the town's Westminster seat from Labour, she was regarded as a good candidate and has a track record as an active councillor in West Lothian.' Ian Swanson, Scottish Political Editor in the Evening News, 1 st July 2006.
