Talk:2007 Scottish local elections

What fiasco?
"Because of the fiasco in 2007 of holding parliamentary (Holyrood) and local elections simultaneously". For those not familiar with Scottish politics, what was this fiasco? Snappy (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I suspect they mean the spoiled ballots issue covered here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Parliament_general_election,_2007#Incidents
 * There is enough confusion for Scottish voters with each level of government (local/Scottish/UK/EU) having different voting systems without asking people to use several on the same day. 99.224.110.165 (talk) 02:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I had exactly the same question. If the election is labelled a "fiasco" in wikipedia, then it should be explained what is meant by that. Obviously every election is a fiasco for some people, so it really needs to be clarified. Presumably, if the system was changed afterwards, there was some kind of parliamentary commission about that, so perhaps that could be quoted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.145.134.93 (talk) 07:56, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Results table
The voting figures in the first results table are not in the source cited. They also do not add up correctly. 82.18.249.187 (talk) 17:21, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
