Politics student Mhairi Black made history by becoming the youngest lawmaker since 1667. She said "I pledge to use this voice not just to improve Scotland, but to pursue progressive politics for the benefit of people across the UK." The election was one of the closest that Britain has had in years. It didn't take long for the election to create its own history. On her way to the top she knocked out one of the Labour Party's top figures. At least two news papers say it was a shock and polls taken before the election say that the race should have been closer. The election could be one that would reshape the county's global role for years. The final tally isn't in but, this is an election people should pay attention to.
