2334 Christine Jardine
Constituency : Edinburgh West 2017-?
Christine recovered Edinburgh West from the SDP, helped by the fact that the 2015 SNP victor had become mired in financial scandal soon after their election. There may also have been a sympathy vote as her husband died during the campaign. Her victory meant that Edinburgh West joined Cornwall North in electing four post-war Liberals , achieved in a much shorter time.
Christine was educated at Braidfield High School and Glasgow University. She became a journalist working for BBC Scotland and the Press Association in Scotland. She also taught journalism in higher education. She was a media adviser to the coalition government.
Christine started out as spokesperson for Scotland but earlier this year she moved to spokesman for work and pensions and also covers digital culture, media and sport. She was tipped as a future leader but isn't standing in the current contest.
She is now 58.
