Political career

Between November 2000 and June 2003 McMillan worked for the whip in the SNP faction in the House of Commons . He then headed the office of the SNP MP in the Scottish Parliament , Bruce McFee . In the British general election in 2005 , McMillan ran for the direct mandate of Inverclyde constituency . He received around 19.6% of the vote and thus clearly missed entry into the British House of Commons.

In the Scottish general election in 2007 , McMillan ran in the constituency of Greenock and Inverclyde , but received only the second highest share of the vote behind the Labor candidate, Duncan McNeil . Since he was placed fifth on the regional electoral list of the SNP for the electoral region West of Scotland , he received one of four list mandates for the SNP in this electoral region as a result of the election result and moved into the Scottish Parliament for the first time. In the 2011 general election , McMillan ran again in the constituency of Greenock and Inverclyde, but narrowly missed the direct mandate. However, he defended his list mandate for West Scotland.
