VOTE FOR HOPE: SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

Scotland goes to the polls tomorrow for the most important election for a generation. We have a golden opportunity after 300 years of unequal union to vote for normal powers for our country and set in motion a democratic referendum on independence.

The alternative is to let Labour's scaremongering tactics win and retreat 'defeated and feart' and accept the status quo as 'good enough'.

Labour have wasted their years in power, they have sold their soul to English Conservatism, they have ruined Britain's international reputation and they have signed Scotland up for billions of pounds worth of new nuclear weapons that we don't want and our Scottish MP's voted against.

It's now or never. If we want the freedom of normal powers for our country, we need to vote for hope and against fear. I urge every elector who considers themselves Scottish first rather than British to use your vote to back a Scottish party in this election.
