Scottish Government And The Right Hon. Member For Banff And Buchan

EDM number 2061 in 2006-07, proposed by Angus Robertson on 09/10/2007.

That this House notes the recent YouGov Scottish opinion poll which finds that the First Minister, the Rt hon Member for Banff and Buchan, is more popular among Labour voters in Scotland than the Labour leader in the Scottish Parliament, Wendy Alexander MSP, by 25 per cent. to 20 per cent., and more popular among Liberal Democrat voters than the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, Nicol Stephen MSP, by 26 per cent. to 14 per cent.; further notes that 63 per cent. of Scots in the same poll believe that the First Minister is doing a good job compared to just 25 per cent. who disagree; and believes that the positive attitude of people in Scotland to the Scottish Government is explained by the further poll finding that more people believe that the Scottish National Party is optimistic about Scotland's future than believe it of all the other parties added together.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
