Instead of everyone gathering on a hill and voting on laws, the scheme of representation was established, wherein we elect our representatives to make decisions.
The first was removed when Islington councillors approved the scheme last December, voting 34-7 in favour, with one abstention, on granting permission for the new stadium.
Conservative MSP Mary Scanlon's amendment, which said a voluntary accreditation scheme for factors should be tried before new legislation was considered, fell with 13 MSPs voting for it, 57 against and with 46 abstentions.
