SNP List: Lothians

1. Kenny MacAskill MSP (MSP for Lothians 1999-)
2. Fiona Hyslop MSP (MSP for Lothians 1999-)
3. Ian McKee
4. Angela Constance
5. Stefan Tymkewycz
6. Shirley-Anne Somerville
7. Colin Beattie
8. Graham Sutherland
9. Davie Hutchison
10. Alex Orr
11. Sheena Cleland

It was this list which caused so much controversy in 2003, with Margo MacDonald's fifth place being the catalyst for her departure to stand as an Indpendent (she's aiming to repeat her success next year). The figures suggest a return for the incumbents, though should Fiona Hyslop win Linlithgow (as is likely), that will pave the way for Ian McKee's entry to Holyrood. Don't rule out MSP status for Angela Constance either: she's standing in Livingston, where she slashed Labour's majority in the By-Election to replace Robin Cook at Westminster in 2005.
