Scottish Parliament

In the first Scottish general election in 1999, Radcliffe ran in the Gordon constituency . She won the direct mandate in front of the SNP candidate and moved into the newly created Scottish Parliament . In the following parliamentary elections in May 2003 , she was able to increase her share of the vote and defended her direct mandate before the conservative Nanette Milne . For the parliamentary elections in 2007 , the SNP placed its party chairman and later First Minister Alex Salmond , who was still running in 1999 in the constituency of Banff and Buchan , in the constituency of Gordon. Although Radcliffe lost only 2.5 percentage points compared to the previous election, it lost the election. Since Radcliffe was not set on the regional electoral list of the Liberal Democrats for the electoral region of North East Scotland , she resigned from parliament.
