Members of the Scottish Parliament
Parliament dissolved ahead of election
The Scottish Parliament is now dissolved ahead of the election on Thursday 7 May 2026.
During dissolution, there are no MSPs and no parliamentary business can take place.
Members of the Scottish Parliament, known as MSPs, represent you in the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood. If you live in South Lanarkshire, eight MSPs represent you. One is your local constituency MSP and seven are regional MSPs who cover a wider area.
You can contact your MSPs to raise concerns, ask for help or share your views on issues that affect life in Scotland.
What MSPs do
MSPs make and change laws for Scotland. They also question and check the work of the Scottish government.
The Scottish Parliament makes decisions on services that affect daily life, including schools, health care, housing, local government, social work, police and fire services, farming, the environment, some aspects of transport including roads, buses and tourism.
