Politics in the Dundee City (''Mòr-bhaile Dhùn Dèagh'' in Gaelic) council area are evident in the deliberations and decisions of Dundee City Council, in elections to the council, and in elections to the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) and the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster). In the European Parliament, the city area is within the Scotland constituency, which covers all of the 32 council areas of Scotland. Dundee City became a single-tier council in 1996, under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994,〔(''Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994'', full text, Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) website ) (OPSI home page )〕 with the boundaries of the City of Dundee district of the Tayside region, minus a Monifieth area and part of a Sidlaw area, which were transferred from the city area to the new council area of Angus. The city district was also the administrative centre for the region. The new city council area was named ''The City of Dundee'' in the legislation of 1994, but this was changed to ''Dundee City'' by a council resolution on 29 June 1995, under section 23 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65).〔''Edinburgh Gazette'', 7 July 1995〕 In terms of area, it is the smallest of Scotland's council areas. The district had been created in 1975, under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, to include: the former county of city of Dundee; a Monifieth area, including the burgh of Monifieth (but not Newtyle and Kettins areas), previously within the county of Angus; and a Longforgan area previously within the county of Perth. The county of city was created in 1894, and the city area has included the burgh of Broughty Ferry since 1913. Dundee has been a royal burgh since 1191. ==City council== Council meetings take place in the City Chambers, located in City Square. They were opened in 1933. The council executive is based in Dundee House on North Lindsay Street, but the council previously being based in Tayside House, which is scheduled for demolition as part of the Waterfront project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Politics of Dundee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
