Question text Here is a copy of the ballot paper that was used in the Scottish Parliament election. You will see there were two votes. One, on the left hand side of the ballot paper coloured brown, was for a party list for your region. The other, on the right hand side coloured lilac, was for an individual member of the Scottish Parliament - or MSP - for your constituency. Thinking first of all about the regional vote on the left hand side, which party did you vote for?
