Only 7 days till the people of Scotland go to the polls to decide who will form the Scottish Government for the next 5 years.
I am voting Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP candidate in Glasgow Southside, for my constituency MSP and will be voting Scottish National Party (SNP) 'Alex Salmond for First Minister' for my regional vote.
Out of the 4 party leaders I believe that Alex Salmond is the best person to lead Scotland for the next 5 years. He has a good record, a good team and vision that is good for Scotland.
Nicola Sturgeon is the best person to represent Glasgow Southside in the Scottish Parliament. She has a fantastic record as the constituency MSP for the former Glasgow Govan seat and is well known for her hard work in the communities that she has represented for the past 4 years. Glasgow Southside doesn't need another invisible politician. Glasgow Southside needs a strong representative. Nicola can do just that.
This election is about who will Govern Scotland for the next 5 years. Make sure you re-elect a competent Government that works for you. Vote SNP in both the constituency and regional votes.
On May 5, Be part of better, Vote SNP
Together we can make Scotland better. http://www.snp.org/

New Glasgow MSYP-Elect Group Meets For First Time
The New MSYP-Elects met officially for the first time on Wednesday. Current MSYPs will represent their seats until the 11th of June when the new MSYP-Elects take up their new seats. Current MSYPs Austin Sheridan, Keenan Alexander, Rae Cahill and Craig Whyteside will continue to represent their current seats and will continue on as MSYPs in the new redrawn constituencies that they have been elected to represent. Current MSYPs that did not seek re-election or lost their election will stand down on the 11th of June.
I am pleased that I have been re-elected for a second term. I have done lots in the past two years as the MSYP for Glasgow Govan and I can do a lot more as the MSYP for the new seat which covers 60% of my old constituency, Glasgow Southside, over the next two years.
The Current MSYPs and the MSYP-Elects discussed the idea of a Glasgow Youth Council which I proposed back in 2009 when I was first elected. Over the past two years the current MSYPs worked with Glasgow City Council drawing up plans to implement a Glasgow Youth Council. Now we are in a position to implement it which I hope will be done within the next 6 months.
I have also been spending time getting to know the new areas that I will be taking in for when I become the Glasgow Southside MSYP. It has been very interesting speaking with community groups in the new areas getting an idea of the issues that local people face. It has taken a bit of time as 40% of Glasgow Southside is new to me.
