2013 Labour Party Falkirk candidate selection information
The Falkirk parliamentary constituency within Scotland
In 2013, Eric Joyce, member of the House of Commons for Falkirk, resigned from the Labour Party and announced he would not seek reelection. The process of nominating a replacement candidate for the 2015 general election led to a dispute between the party and its major financial backer Unite the Union, causing the suspension of two local party members, the resignation of Tom Watson MP as Labour's 2015 election strategist, as well as the forwarding of an internal report into the situation to Police Scotland.[1]
