Miguel Sanchez Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Week 25 update One death this week, former SNP person Winnie Ewing: Winifred Ewing obituary | Scottish politics | The Guardian Quote The politician Winifred Ewing, who has died aged 93, was the most remarkable vote-winner in modern Scottish politics. Her triumph at the Hamilton byelection in 1967 heralded the breakthrough of the Scottish National party as a serious electoral force; later in her career she retired undefeated from the European parliament after four terms as MEP for the Highlands and Islands. She then concluded a unique treble by becoming a founding member of the devolved Scottish parliament when it was established in 1999 and indeed, as the oldest MSP, took the chair at its first session before a presiding officer had been elected. She drew on her experience to call for the new body to “follow the more consensual style of the European parliament and say goodbye to the badgering and backbiting that one associates with Westminster”. Ewing was a fundamentalist who occasionally clashed with those who tried to claim the SNP for a more leftwing identity, particularly in the post-1979 period. Much of her success at the ballot box, which transcended the transient fortunes of her party, was attributable to her own formidable personality and well-cultivated image as a fighter for Scottish interests. It's nice - and in current circumstances almost quaint - to read of a Scottish politician who was actually honest and competent. Ewing died at 93 so she's worth 32 Base Points for @Mark Connolly, @mizfit and @The Naitch. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. JustOneCornetto 405 2. psv_killie 318 3.
