You wait for one by-election for years, then four come along at once! doktorb _words^deeds 18:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are conflicting accounts about whether Solidarity will be contesting this election, and if so whether their candidate will be Tommy Sheridan or Tricia McCleish. Can anyone clarify?

Also, what is the closing date for nominations? PatGallacher (talk) 11:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion Poll[edit]

So far there has only been one opinion poll of Glasgow East constituency during the campaign, so I don't think it is selective to include it in the article. Ajwells (talk) 20:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Politics and government of Scotland[edit]

Why is this article categorized in "Politics and government of Scotland"? The election in question is for a seat in the UK Parliament. If it was for a seat in the Scottish Parliament that would be different, but this IMO this is clearly a UK Politics & Government topic.
