Paisley, United Kingdom - A 20-year-old student representing the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) was elected Britain's youngest lawmaker since 1667 Friday, toppling one of the opposition Labour party's top figures.

Mhairi Black defeated Labour's election campaign chief Douglas Alexander in Paisley and Renfrewshire South as an exit poll indicated that the SNP could win 58 out of 59 seats in Scotland.
