Central Scotland
Central Region is made up of the Holyrood constituencies of Airdrie & Shotts, Coatbridge & Chryston, Cumbernauld & Kilsyth, East Kilbride, Falkirk East, Falkirk West, Kilmarnock & Loudoun and Motherwell & Wishaw.
In the 2003 elections, Greens scored 4.7% of the vote, just 1.2% short of taking the a list seat from the Liberal Democrats. A swing of 1500 voters would be more than enough to unseat the LibDems.
