Scottish Parliament election, 2011[edit]

The 2007 election has not even taken place yet. This article has no content and nothing can be added but speculation until the 2007 election occurs. The article really serves no purpose until that election occurs. I believe the usual practice is to have an article about one single upcoming election. —Cuivi é nen 01:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Nothing gainful can be said (apart from the date, which surprises me since British elections at least aren't on a fixed program) at least until after the 2007 poll has occurred and probably for a while thereafter. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 01:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Scotland does have fixed election dates, as do Wales and Northern Ireland (when elections happen in NI at all!). Of course, the government can still be brought down early. —Cuiviénen 05:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well there we go. I was wondering what the new thing I was going to learn today was, and that's it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A prize for that man! BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A party will win? Nonsense. The planned elections will be disrupted by the Scottish War of Independence (June 2009 - September 2012). Since most of Scotland will be devastated by the Hogmanay Brigades' "scorched heath" policy, the only real winners will be the grouse. — Haeleth Talk 22:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. You can do this kind of thing for, say, the Olympics, because planning goes on YEARS ahead for them. No such thing here. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Political elections are prepared and planned for a long time in advance, but they like to try and get through the most urgent one before thinking about the next. -- saberwyn 11:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also, Olympics undergo long site-selection processes years in advance that can be discussed in their articles. Not so for elections. —Cuivi é nen 14:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a little to soon, although I find it ironic that the election is slated on my birthday.-- danntm ^T _C 14:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
