CAMPAIGNING has begun for December’s snap General Election – and we’re asking you to share party leaflets from your area.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be looking at the official campaign material circulated by candidates around the country to find out what promises are made to voters – and find out if claims made against rivals are true.
To help us, share the pamphlets and posters that come through your letterbox.
We won’t reveal your personal details, but the information you share could help us highlight important issues in the parliamentary race.
These include matters relevant to some of the biggest questions facing Scotland, including Brexit, health, defence and independence.
And they also include the local issues that could swing the vote in each seat.
We’ll fact check the claims and probe any inconsistencies and inaccuracies we find.
To help us find out about the campaigning where you are, please email in-focus images of relevant material to letters@thenational.scot.
Or, to send these letters and leaflets through the post, pop them in an envelope addressed to The National, 200 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 3QB.
Please remember to mark all such emails and letters “General Election 2019”.
Thanks for your support – we look forward to hearing from you as the campaigns swing into gear.
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
