Margo MacDonald, who was elected as a Lothian SNP MSP in 1999, stood as an independent after she was pushed so far down the party's ranking that it gave her no chance of getting re-elected. She won comfortably and, freed from party constraints, went on to campaign on sometimes controversial issues, including tolerance zones for sex workers and assisted dying. She proved ever popular with the public and was re-elected in 2007 and 2011 and continued serving as an MSP right up to her death in 2014.
