Regional and constituency MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) represent different areas in Scotland. Constituency MSPs are elected to represent specific geographic areas, while regional MSPs are elected from larger regions that encompass multiple constituencies, serving to ensure broader representation. Each constituency elects one MSP, while each region elects several regional MSPs, who can be from different political parties. This dual system aims to balance local representation with overall regional interests in the Scottish Parliament.
