The Scotsman - Politics - Canavan factor could have an influence on fight to win list seats

"...if Tommy Sheridan's party was able to win over two-thirds of the voters who backed Mr Canavan last time, it would emerge with a new MSP.

Carolyn Leckie, the Unison official from East Kilbride, is top of the SSP list in Central and she would be the beneficiary of an SSP surge to 6 or 7 per cent. A victory for Ms Leckie would knock one of the current crop of MSPs off the list. The vulnerable MSPs are Andrew Wilson, for the SNP, and Donald Gorrie, for the Liberal Democrats."
