MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament)

Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) are elected representatives responsible for making laws, setting policies, and scrutinizing the Scottish Government. They represent various regions and political parties across Scotland, working in the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. MSPs debate issues, propose legislation, and hold the government accountable through committee work. Their role is similar to legislators elsewhere, ensuring that the interests and concerns of their constituents are considered in national decision-making, all within the devolved Scottish Parliament which handles areas like health, education, and transportation.
