Afternoon speaking to the public in Bathgate. Many people stating only Ruth Davidsons’ Scottish Conservatives will be an effective opposition to the SNP and more and more Labour supporters now behind Ruth and state they will be voting Conservative in May.
Stephanie Smith, MSP candidate for Almond Valley stated, “Every time we are out campaigning we do not just meet long term Conservative supporters but many people who in the past voted Labour and are now going to vote Conservative because they recognise only the Scottish Conservatives will stand up to the SNP and only the Conservatives are behind the union of the UK.”
“Also today we heard from an SNP supporter who will be voting for the Scottish Conservatives on the List Vote as he recognises all governments need a strong opposition and like many others, he knows only the Scottish Conservatives can provide that.”
“He also stated his opposition to the Named Person Act which the SNP want to introduce and which Labour voted for, as a major reason for voting Conservative in May”.
