As one of the aforementioned candidates, I would like to point out, for the sake of completeness, that I have attended the University of Glasgow and Strathclyde University as well as the University of St Andrews. In the interest of accuracy (and so as not to offend the Law Society) I am not yet a qualified solicitor. More biographical information available at http://www.chrisyoung.org.uk.

Look at central Glasgow on Google Maps to see the depopulation. Areas which were once densely populated tenements are now covered with car parks, grass or motorways.

The Conservative vote would be lower than 7.6% in Central because the parts of Kelvin with most Tories in Glasgow North (Hyndland) or Glasgow NW (Broomhill) and the part of Govan with most Tories (Maxwell Park/ West Pollokshields) is in Glasgow South.

The gap between Labour and the SNP could result in a Lab majority of around 20% over the SNP
