Talk:First Minister of Scotland

message: This article strays far away from NPOV and blatently editorialises in assessing the contributions of the various First Ministers. It needs severe culling of the editorialising. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 15:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:HenryMcLeish.jpg

message: The article includes, in the second paragraph of the Election and term section, the curious sentence, Given the nature of the mixed member proportional representation system that is used to elected Members of the Scottish Parliament, it is not usual for a single party to gain an overall majority of seats in Parliament;[8] this did however occur in the 2011. The 2011 what, Mister Heinz? I'm not full bottle on Scottish affairs, so if someone can work out what is meant and fix it, that would be a huge improvement in the flow of the prose. --Pete (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair point. How about.... Given the mixed member proportional representation system used to elect its members, it is difficult for a single party to gain an overall majority of seats in the Scottish Parliament.[8] However, the SNP did gain an overall majority of seats in the Scottish Parliament general election, 2011. ???

replies: text: The most senior position in the Privy Council of Scotland was Lord Chancellor of Scotland, but there was no Prime Minister. The same applies to England as well - the office evolved slowly during the Eighteenth Century, after the Act of Union. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 11:30, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I've added a section showing the candidates and votes for each candidate in each election for the post so far, I needed this for something else and spent ages trying to find the articles with numbers so I thought I may as well put it here in case someone in the future needs the same, that said I haven't a clue how to make it look nice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnotacylon (talk • contribs) 01:28, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
