| 词条 | 1968 Edinburgh Corporation election |
| 释义 |
An Election to the Edinburgh Corporation was held on 7 May 1968, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. Of the councils 68 seats, 22 were up for election. Despite receiving the most votes of any single party, the SNP won only 7 seats. Unlike in Glasgow, the Progressives and Conservatives did not run on a joint ticket.[1] Despite that however the parties only ran competing candidates in the Gorgie-Dalry ward. Following the election Edinburgh Corporation was composed of 34 Progressives (including the Lord Provost), 21 Labour councillors, 8 SNP councillors, 3 Conservatives, 1 Liberal, and 1 independent. Following the election the Progressive/Conservative coalition controlled the council with a majority of 6. No election was held in the Holyrood ward, where the sitting Labour councillor died the week before the election. Turnout was 140,987.
