Anyone would think there was an election coming up eh?

I’m sure this will be an evolving list, but I’m struck by some of the names added to the Twitterati in the past few days and weeks (mostly SNP Government folks, come to think of it) who are associated with Holyrood and parties, so I thought I’d list them for your following pleasure. Or something.

Constituency/ regional list that they are standing in is in brackets (which, if they are already an MSP, may be different from the area they currently represent).  Additions (and corrections!) welcome.
