As previous Saturdays a great turnout from campaigners and a positive reception received from the public. This has been the case across the Lothians throughout this campaign and it is becoming more and more apparent that people want a party to stand up to the SNP and hold them to account.
Charles Kennedy stated, “It is so encouraging hearing people say they are going to vote for the Scottish Conservatives for the first time.”
“The majority of people in Scotland want us to remain in the Union and with Labour and the LibDems not behind Scotland staying in the UK, only the Scottish Conservatives offer this security.”
“I do also believe a major factor is the Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson. People recognise she will stand up to the SNP and do what’s best for our country.”
“I am confident of a successful election in May for the Conservatives and we need everyone who wants Scotland to remain in the UK and doesn’t want Scotland to be the highest taxed country of the UK to vote for the Scottish Conservatives.”
