Election results

'On February 23 Fife Central Labour MSP Christine May told The Courier, "If the tolls come off the Erskine Bridge but do not come off the Forth and Tay bridges I would be disappointed. I can see no logic in that. I think my constituents will be disappointed and I will continue to make the case for Fife."
Yesterday she voted to keep the tolls on the Tay.'
