Nanette Milne
Nanette Milne (born April 27, 1942 in Aberdeen ) is a Scottish politician and member of the Conservative Party .

Political career
In 1974 Milne joined the Conservative Party and was vice-chairman of the Scottish branch between 1989 and 1993. In 1992 she was elected to the Regional Council of Aberdeen for the Cults district and in 1995 to the city council. For the first time Milne ran in the first Scottish general election in 1999 to elections at the national level. In her constituency of Aberdeen South she received the third highest share of the vote with 20.2% and thus missed the direct mandate. Since Milne was only placed fifth on the Conservative Party's regional electoral list for the electoral region of North East Scotland , she was not sent as one of the seven representatives of the electoral region to the newly created Scottish Parliament as a result of the election result . In the British general election in 2001 , she applied for the direct mandate of the constituency of Gordon , but received only the second highest number of votes behind the Liberal Democrat Malcolm Bruce and thus missed the entry into the British House of Commons . In the Scottish parliamentary elections in 2003 Milne stood as the successor to her party colleague Alex Johnstone for the constituency of Gordon , but could not prevail against the Liberal Democrat Nora Radcliffe . Milne took third place on the Conservative regional electoral list for the electoral region of North East Scotland. Since the Conservatives were allowed to send three candidates on the basis of the election result, Milne moved into the Scottish Parliament for the first time. In 2005 she was named the party's health policy spokesperson. In her constituency of Gordon, she received the third highest number of votes in the 2007 general election , but defended her list mandate as second on the Conservative regional electoral list for North East Scotland. The Gordon constituency was abolished as part of the 2011 constituency reform. In the Scottish parliamentary elections in 2011 , Milne applied for the direct mandate of the newly created constituency of Aberdeenshire West . Milne received the third-largest share of the vote after the SNP politician Dennis Robertson and the Liberal Democrat Mike Rumbles , but defended her regional mandate one more time.
