7 - What was the main right-wing party in Scotland until the mid-60s?

I don't understand why an outsider would know #7.  Perhaps I'm an idiot.

An outsider might be interested in that sort of thing. Is that a problem?

8 - Which office gives the holder the official residence of 10 Downing Street?

If you live on planet earth and you don't know #8 you've probably suffered massive head trauma.

Or, perhaps, you think you know more than you actually do.

Anyhow, I'll give this a go.

1. David Cameron, Conservative
2. House of Commons, Senate
3. Ed Miliband, Labour
4. Conservative, Liberal Democrats
5. DUP, SDLP, Sinn Féin
6. Gordon Brown, Labour
7. Unionist
8. First Lord of the Treasury
9. Disraeli? Not quite sure.
10. Does MacDonald's National Government count? I'll go with that.
11. Don't know
12. Ramsay MacDonald in 1922 or thereabouts
13. Don't remember the names, but they founded the SDP
14. Churchill?
15-17. Don't recall
18. It's still Robinson, isn't it?
19. Don't know
20. Don't know
21. Whig, Liberal, SDP, SDP-Liberal Alliance, Social and Liberal Democrats
22. Abbott, Balls, Burnham, the Milibands
23. Don't know
24. The woolsack
25. Don't know
26. Lloyd George
27. Don't know

24 - What's the literal seat of the Lord Speaker?
His constituency? Buckingham

That's the Speaker, not the Lord Speaker.

I'm not even going to try, but is the constituency that has elected members of four different parties Fermanagh and South Tyrone?

Like adverts on television, Northern Ireland is not included.

I'm not familiar with those adverts, though.
