Why should a party influenced and controlled by Westminster sit in Scotland’s Parliament when its interests lie elsewhere?
This applies to all four main Westminster-owned parties in Scotland.
Vote them out of Scotland’s Parliament on Thursday 7 May.

It’s unacceptable that in energy-rich Scotland, people are facing fuel poverty.
Labour promised lower energy bills, but they keep going up.
With independence, we can use our energy wealth to lower bills for good.

Never trust the red Tories, between them and the blue Tories they've had over 300yrs to improve Scottish lives but funnily enough it's only improved since 2007 when a certain SNP got into power, might not be perfect but a shit ton better than any WM or branch office party has ever done.
