After SNP candidate Tony Giugliano, spent £18,593, please add the following: The case was thrown out in October 2017. source: https://www.holyrood.com/articles/news/election-fraud-case-against-lib-dem-msp-alex-cole-hamilton-dropped 195.188.14.222 (talk) 12:01, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I changed the aggressive "thrown out" to the softer "dismissed" but otherwise, I copied and pasted and added your source. Thank you. CityOfSilver 16:18, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Add the following statement to "Political career" section:

"He is currently the Scottish Liberal Democrats Health spokesperson ^[1] and has submitted various motions to the Scottish Parliament, including aknowledgements of Edinburgh Airport recieving the 2017 Autism Friendly Award and raising concerns of the future status of General Practitioner surgeries. ^[2]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bravo315 (talk • contribs)

References

Partly done: The party spokesperson position is notable, but submitting motions to Parliament is not. Submitting motions is a basic function of what parliamentarians are supposed to do and these suggested ones are utterly routine and non-notable.

Relevancy of last paragraph under political career

this paragraph seems like way too minor of a detail to have so long a paragraph dedicated to it. It should be a sentence or two at most, if mentioned at all. 2.30.180.216 (talk) 21:41, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
