32 Pro-war Scottish MPs
Thirty-two Scottish MPs voted for the Iraq War on 18 March 2003. Their names are listed below. These men and women are responsible for our Iraq war policy. If they (and their English friends) had not voted for the war, we would not be in Iraq now.
Some are ministers or would-be ministers, some are MPs who have never voted against their party ever (i.e. just lobby fodder). As far as I know none of them have since repudiated the war or shown any remorse for it.
These pro-War MPs should be targeted during the next general election. I hope the anti-war parties will cooperate in getting them voted out, if necessary by supporting a single anti-war candidate and withdrawing others likely to come third or fourth in the contest.

MPs retiring at the next Westminster Election
Even if every person was to vote exactly the same way at the next general election as in May 2003, 13 MPs (10 Labour, one SNP, one Lib Dem and one Tory) would lose their seats due to the reduction in the number of Scottish constituencies at Westminster from 72 to 59.
A total of 14 of the Labour MPs have announced that they will be retiring at the next Westminster election. They are:
Irene Adams (Paisley North),
Dr Lynda Clark QC (Edinburgh Pentlands),
Sir Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow),
George Foulkes (Airdrie & Shotts),
George Galloway (Glasgow Kelvin)
Helen Liddell (Aberdeen North),
Dr Lewis Moonie (Kirkcaldy),
Martin O'Neill (Ochil),
Ernie Ross (Dundee West),
Malcolm Savidge (Aberdeen North),
Bill Tynan (Hamilton South),
Tony Worthington (Clydebank & Milngavie) and
Brian Wilson (Cunninghame North)
James Wray (Glasgow Ballieston)
