One way that parties can get candidates elected in through televised debates. This that members of parties involved in the elections can debate with each other on a public platform and show the public their viewpoints and policies as well as their personalities. For example, prior to the 2016 Scottish Election Nicola Sturgeon represented her party in a televised debate and had a platform to justify her party’s policies and show the strength of her character. It is argued that opportunities give the public a good chance to understand the differences between parties and make an informed choice. 2. Another way that parties can get their candidates elected is through leaflets. This means that leaflets outlining the candidate’s policies and commitments can be posted through letterboxes giving constituents information to decide on who to vote for. For example, prior to the 2016 Scottish Election the conservative party produced leaflets detailing the role of the Conservative party in being an effective check on the SNP government. This managed to persuade a significant number of Scots to vote for them as they gained 16 seats in 2016 from the 2011 election. In addition, local issues can be highlighted on these leaflets to persuade people to vote for the party that will look after important local concerns. 3. Another way that parties can get their candidates elected is by Canvassing. This that candidates or party representatives go door to door to speak to people to persuade them about their candidates’ qualities to represent the electorate. For example, to the 2016 Scottish election, Linda Fabiani went door to door in East Kilbride to persuade the people that she had their interests at heart and was the right person to represent them at the Scottish Parliament. In addition, this tactic was successful as 55.7% of the East Kilbride constituency voted Fabiani and she remained the MSP for the area. Describe, in detail, the work of MSPs.
