Independents

The article says that "The Council is one of only two in Scotland with a majority of elected members who are independents." However I don't think that can be true given the results of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar election, 2007 and Orkney Islands Council election, 2007 which saw either all or almost all seats won be independents.

Hmm, I copied this over from Orkney, but you are quite right. Needs a little research and I will revert asap. Ben Mac Dui 17:51, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Scotsman article was written not long after the election and Shetland was marked as "undecided". Now fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. Ben Mac Dui 18:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for quickly sorting it. Davewild (talk) 18:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
