  • The Scottish Parliament election, 2003, was the second general election of the Scottish Parliament. It was held on 1 May 2003 and it brought no change in terms of control of the Scottish Executive. Jack McConnell, the Labour Party Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP), remained in office as First Minister and the Executive continued as a Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition. The results also showed rises in support for "minor parties" including the Scottish Green Party and the Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) and declines in support for the Labour Party and the Scottish National Party (SNP). The Conservative and Unionist Party and the Scottish Liberal Democrats each polled almost exactly the same percentage of the vote as they had in the 1999 election, with each holding the same number of seats as before. Three independent MSPs were elected: Dennis Canavan, Margo MacDonald and Jean Turner. John Swinburne, leader of the Scottish Senior Citizens Unity Party, was also elected. This led to talk of a "rainbow" Parliament, but the arithmetic meant that the coalition of Labour and Scottish Liberal Democrats could continue in office, which they did until the 2007 election. The decline in support for the SNP was viewed by some as a rejection of the case for Scottish independence. Others argued against this, pointing out that the number of MSPs in favour of independence actually rose because most of the minor parties share this position with the SNP. The latter view was perhaps vindicated by the 2007 election, where the SNP vote consolidated at the expense of the smaller parties and they achieved a plurality. For a full list of MSPs elected or re-elected see Members of the Scottish Parliament, 2003-2007.
  • Die schottischen Parlamentswahlen 2003 waren die zweiten Wahlen zum neueingerichteten Parlament in Edinburgh und fanden am 1. Mai 2003 statt. Gewählt wurden 129 Abgeordnete, 73 davon in Wahlkreisen nach relativen Mehrheitswahlrecht und 56 über Parteilisten in 8 Regionen.

S'hi van imposar els laboristes gal·lesos de Rhodri Morgan. Els nacionalistes gal·lesos del Plaid Cymru obtenen més representació que els Conservadors i es consoliden com a segona força política, però a menys distància que a les eleccions anteriors.
