UK/Scottish edit

I'm sure this is contentious, but would it not be appropriate to call him a UK politician, since he is an MP in the UK parliament, not in the Edinburgh parliament? 193.63.239.165 12:09, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

One year later... I agree with the above suggestion. :) It seems this article was moved to its current name for disambiguation reasons, but as far as I'm aware, there is no other British politician by the name of David Marshall who he could be confused with. As the IP above mentions, he is an MP for the Westminster Parliament, not the Scottish Parliament, therefore 'British politician' seems a more accurate description. I will move the page back to its original title. Terraxos (talk) 22:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree. Also, if this[1] is true, expect heavy editing of this page over the next few days. DWaterson (talk) 23:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
