Timeline
In September 2019, Smith announced she would be standing down at the 2021 Scottish Parliament election on health grounds. Later that month, she became Scottish Labour Parliamentary Business Manager, replacing Neil Findlay.
In February 2018, Smith invited pro-life academic Professor Priscilla K. Coleman to speak at an event in the Scottish Parliament discussing what Coleman believes is the harmful impact of abortion on mental health. After facing criticism from Scottish Labour colleagues, Smith withdrew the invitation, citing a "diary clash". In response to the backlash, Richard Leonard said "It has been made clear to Elaine that she needs to comply with the party’s policy on issues like a woman’s right to choose."
Smith supported Richard Leonard in the 2017 Scottish Labour Party leadership election. Following Leonard's victory, she was appointed to his Shadow Cabinet and was given the new role of Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Eradication of Poverty and Inequality. Her appointment was controversial because of her record of opposing same-sex marriage.
In the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, Smith lost her seat by 3,779 votes after watching her vote share drop by 17.6%. She gained a list seat as one of seven additional members for the Central Scotland region and was returned for the new session. Following the retirement of Tricia Marwick, she attempted to be elected Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament. However, she was defeated by Ken Macintosh, a fellow Labour MSP and one of the additional members for the West Scotland region. After standing down as a Deputy Presiding Officer, she became a member of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee.
Smith supported Jeremy Corbyn during both the 2015 and 2016 Labour Party leadership elections. During the 2016 European Union membership referendum, she backed Britain leaving the European Union, contrary to the position of the Labour Party.
In 2013, Smith voiced her opposition to same-sex marriage, claiming at a session of the Equal Opportunities Committee that its introduction could lead to polygamy.
Smith was elected as a Scottish Labour MSP for her local constituency of Coatbridge and Chryston in the 1999 Scottish Parliament election, with a majority of 10,404. She subsequently went on to be returned in 2003, 2007 and 2011, with majorities of 8,571, 4,510 and 2,741 respectively. On 11 May 2011, she was elected to serve as one of two Deputy Presiding Officers of the Scottish Parliament.
Elaine Agnes Smith (born 5 May 1963) is a Scottish Labour Party politician. She has served as Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the Central Scotland region since 2016, previously having been the MSP for the Coatbridge and Chryston constituency from 1999 until 2016.
