Ochil Candidate Profiles
|  Keith Brown MSP Ochil was won by George Reid of the SNP from Labour in 2003. George was a high profile candidate and the sitting MSP had made a major public gaffe, so this seat is difficult to call. The SNP should retain this seat on the basis of the current opinion polls and this would see Cllr Brown entering the Scottish Parliament. He is an administrative officer for Stirling Council and leader of the opposition at Clackmannanshire Council. |
|  Cllr Brian Fearon Brian Fearon currently sits on Clackmannanshire Council. The Labour member represents the Muirside ward, covering much of Tullibody and part of Alloa. |
