Prior to this, a coalition between Labour and the Liberal Democrats made up the government. The system for Scottish elections is the Additional Member System (AMS), where voters are given two votes. The first vote is for constituency – where single MSPs are elected by first-past-the post. The second is for region seats, where seven MSPs are elected by closed list.

Holyrood election: SNP s Shona Robison set for five in a row in Dundee East

Winner in 2016: Shona Robison (SNP) THERE are some constituencies where the strength of a party can be traced back to the efforts of one particular candidate at one particular point in history, and Dundee City East is an excellent example. The equivalent Westminster constituency of Dundee East wouldn’t have looked particularly promising as a future stronghold for the SNP when they contested it for the first time in 18 years at the 1970 General Election. They took less than 9% of the vote, meaning they had underperformed their national showing. But soon afterwards the future party leader Gordon Wilson, described by the BBC in those days as “the SNP’s oil expert”, emerged on the scene and worked the seat hard.
