ELECTION RESULT – McGILL RESPONDS

Submitted by Editor on

Iain McGill – the third-placed candidate in last week's General Election – has sent us the following comment.

'I am incredibly grateful to the 7,079 residents of Edinburgh North & Leith who voted Conservative, and hope dearly that when this goes to print they are heartened by us again having a Conservative Prime Minister.

'It has been a fantastic three years as the parliamentary candidate and I have an enormous affection for this, my part of town and all its people.

'I would like to send my warmest congratulations to Mark Lazarowicz MP, who has served Edinburgh North & Leith valiantly since 2001 and is a worthy opponent to whom to lose.'
