Roseanna Cunningham Biography

Roseanna Cunningham is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 27, 1951 in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Cunningham was born in Glasgow on 27 July 1951 to Catherine and Hugh Cunningham. She spent her childhood in East Lothian, Edinburgh and London. Cunningham emigrated to Perth, Australia in 1960 with her family. She completed her education at John Curtin High school in Fremantle. She became interested in politics as a teenager and joined the SNP in 1969 as an overseas member. Cunningham received a BA Hons degree in politics from the University of Western Australia in 1975. In 1976, she returned to Scotland.

Cunningham was elected in Perth and Kinross, losing only 2,000 votes during the 1992 general elections.

In 1999 she became the MSP for Perth and continues to represent the area in the Scottish Parliament to this day. In 2000, she was elected the SNP Senior Vice-Convener (depute leader). Also in that year, she helped establish the Scottish Left Review publication. She stood down as an MP in 2001, to concentrate on the Scottish Parliament.

John Swinney announced his resignation as leader of the SNP on 22 June 2004, and on the same day Cunningham announced that she would be a candidate in the subsequent election for the party leadership. In the early stages of the campaign she appeared to be the clear front-runner, but the entirely unexpected decision of the former leader Alex Salmond to enter the race just before nominations closed changed everything, and Cunningham ultimately finished a distant second.

Cunningham returned back to university in 1980. She graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1982. In 1983, Cunningham received a Diploma of Legal Practice from Aberdeen. As a solicitor, she worked for Dumbarton District Council as well as Glasgow District Council. After a brief stint in private practice she was admitted to The Faculty of Advocates in 1991.

From 1977 to 1979 she worked as a research assistant for the SNP headquarters. She was also a member the left-wing 79 Group within the SNP in the early 1980s but was not expelled as she wasn’t a member its steering committee. (Future leader of the SNP Alex Salmond, however, was expelled from the 79 Group committee, while Margo MacDonald resigned as a protest against her expulsion).

In 1995, she gained the seat in the Perth and Kinross by-election succeeding the recently deceased Conservative MP, Sir Nicholas Fairbairn. She had initially been left off the SNP’s candidate shortlist over her brief relationship in the 1970s with Donald Bain, then husband of SNP MP Margaret Ewing, on the grounds that the issue could prove an embarrassment to the party. Cunningham said the affair had begun after the couple had separated. She was put back in contention following an intervention by the then party leader Alex Salmond, and after Ewing made clear she had no objection to Cunningham’s candidature. In the 1997 election, she stood for the Perth constituency and was elected.
