Welcome to the political campaigns website of Alex Cole-Hamilton
Alex headed up the Lib Dem List of candidates for the Mid Scotland and Fife region in the 2007 Scottish Parliamentary elections and narrowly missed out on a place in the Parliament following a spectacular gain for the Lib Dems in Dunfermline West which reduced the regional share of the vote. He intends to run again in the near future.
Alex is 29 and is Married to Gillian who is a primary school teacher. He grew up in the coastal village of Boarhills outside St Andrews in Fife where he attended Madras College before moving to Aberdeen to undertake a degree in Politics. After graduating, Alex was elected sabbatical president of Aberdeen University Students' Representative Council between 1999-2000 where he had an active role in the negotiations which ultimately brought about the end of tuition fees in Scotland.
Alex now works for Fairbridge in Scotland, a charity that specialises in re-engaging with hard-to-reach young people in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh and fpr YouthLink Scotland, Scotland's national youth work agency.
No Stranger to Politics, Alex stood in the Scottish Parliamentary elections in Kirkcaldy and was the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath in May '05, where he doubled the Lib Dem vote against Gordon Brown.
