FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday that the SNP is a party that offers serious government for serious times.
Sturgeon said the election campaign had made it clear only the SNP was offering the experienced leadership the people of Scotland needed.
And she said it has never been more important to give people in Scotland a choice over their future because Boris Johnson was taking the country in the wrong direction.
The SNP leader said: “It is only by using both votes for the SNP in this election that people in Scotland can be sure to get the serious government that is essential in these most serious of times.
“This campaign has demonstrated as never before that the SNP is the only party of government with the experienced leadership the people of Scotland deserve.
“For the remainder of this campaign we will remain laser-focused on setting out a programme for government to rebuild the economy, invest in our NHS and improve people’s lives.
“That focus on building a better Scotland means that when the Covid crisis is over, people have the right to choose between independence or Westminster governments led by the likes of Boris Johnson, which are taking Scotland in the wrong direction.
“No party that supports or accepts Boris Johnson’s job-destroying hard Brexit can claim to be serious about economic recovery from the pandemic.
“So in this election for serious and experienced leadership, a programme to kick-start the recovery and, once the Covid crisis is over, a choice over Scotland’s future, make it both votes SNP on May 6.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
