So...

I think I'll sign up to be the councillor (is that the right term?) for Kinning Park.

Kinning Park
Located on the south bank of the River Clyde, Kinning Park was Scotland’s smallest burgh and survived until 1905 when it was incorporated into the City of Glasgow. In the 1870’s long before the formation of the Labour Party it had an extraordinarily strong ‘working men’ representation on it’s council.
By the 1950’s, Kinning Park was a fairly prosperous part of the city with late Victorian architecture and since 1896, was served by it’s own Subway station. While very close to the shipyards, it’s residencies were well built and tended to attract more skilled dockers as well as tradesmen and some middle class residencies to the south of the ward. It was also home of Glasgow’s massive Terminus Quay; a grand railway terminus for goods to board and be landed by commercial ships.
Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario):
Yeah, that sounds roughly like the sort of constituency I'm looking for. Kinning Park it is!

Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario):
Do we start out as incumbents? If so, I'll be the guy who was just elected in 1954. Otherwise, I'll ask for an open seat, since I have a Labour character in mind.
