His tendency not to suffer fools gladly didn't help him there I think, nor in his bids for the leadership. Kinnock came to openly despise him (and the feeling was mutual) He thought he was cleverer than most in the PLP and probably was but unfortunately if you let people know that and they are your electorate it tends not to go well for you... |

I'd like the AV Referendum results programme to be available on YouTube also. Perhaps BBC Parliament will show it next year for its fifth anniversary.
The same goes for the 1966 general election results programme, for its 50th anniversary. For the sake of completeness I might add, not because I liked the result very much. All the other post-1955 general election programmes are there.

I think (although will test it with a recording of a programme I don't mind losing if I am wrong) I should be able to extract the recording of Election 1966 I have on a DVD and therefore upload it to YouTube. |

That map came from Wikipedia and does show 11 SNP coloured sections (however as I do not know what the constituencies are I am identifying them by 2015 boundary names): Western Isles, Argyll and Bute, Dumfries and Galloway, Dunbartonshire East, Moray, Banff and Buchan, Angus, Dundee East and two seats to the south of Stirling and to the north west of Edinburgh that I have no idea what they are! Here is an edited version with labels: A and B are Clackmannan & East Stirlingshire C and D are East Dunbartonshire (the bit to the west of East Dunbartonshire is West Dunbartonshire) (The county of Dunbartonshire itself, under the pre-1975 boundaries, was itself in two separate bits but they were not neatly equal in electorates and therefore it was necessary to have one constituency divided into two bits.) The two yellow dots are Stirling, Falkirk & Grangemouth.  |
