Will the Prime Minister, in considering this problem of the Scottish Education Bill, take into account the fact that all parties in Scotland are almost unanimous, in desiring that the education parts of this Bill should go through, and it would reflect, I feel, the wishes of all Scottish hon. Members in the House if the effort could be made?
In a general election, each constituency chooses an MP to represent it by process of election. The party who wins the most seats in parliament is in power, with its leader becoming Prime Minister and its Ministers/Shadow Ministers making up the new Cabinet. If no party has a majority, this is known as a hung Parliament. The next general election will take place on or before 3rd June 2010.
