Elections to the third Scottish Parliament will be held on Thursday 3rd May 2007. Electors will have two votes, the first for your constituency MSP by the first past the post method, the second to elect seven regional MSPs from party or individual lists by proportional representation.

What have they done for us? Three excellent sites from mysociety.org, designed to help us keep track of what our politicians are doing 'in out name'.

- They work for you: www.theyworkforyou.com
- Hear from your MP: www.hearfromyourmp.com
- Write to them: www.writetothem.com

The official sites: worth a look when trying to work out who is saying what. If you look hard enough you might be able to find some policies!
