Pathetic start to 100 Days to Holyrood with #Labour and #SNP embroiled in immature mud-slinging on Twitter

Annabel Goldie warned that this election would descend into vitriol and she has already proved to be right.

On Burns Day of all days, the SNP and Labour decided to enter into the Punch and Judy politics that the public frankly have had enough of.



Using Social Networking site Twitter to embrace with the electorate, Scottish Labour offered this online diatribe treat: "Over the next 100 days Labour will publish our plans for a better Scotland, but today we are using our Twitter feed to highlight 100 broken SNP promises"

Whilst they may be factually correct in some of their Tweets to be fair, is it just me who thinks Labour are somewhat rich in highlighting broken promises and preaching about successful Government practice?

In response, the SNP, were talking about their achievements & future plans in on their Twitter profile. Interestingly they highlighted success and results that could only be delivered via concessions granted to the Scottish Conservatives including Council Tax Freezes and a 1000 more Police on the Scotland's streets.

The SNP of course today unveiled their 'Re-elect us' Campaign.

Here we see Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon launching the Campaign under the "A Scottish Government working for Scotland" slogan. Wouldn't this be the bare minimum you'd expect? Fancy messages don't cut the mustard. Delivering results do and the Scottish Conservatives will deliver again.

Speaking on the start of the 100 day countdown to the Scottish Parliamentary election, Scottish Conservative leader Annabel Goldie MSP said:

"I fear that this election is going to be 100 days of vitriol between Alex Salmond and Iain Gray – senseless mudslinging.

They both think that the campaign is all about them. It's not. It's all about Scotland.



"Scotland needs its politicians to stand up and tell it like it is. Hope for the future, but realism about today.

"This must be the election where common sense and straight talking win. I pledge to lead the Scottish Conservative campaign with a focus on the issues which matter to Scotland, and that is not the battle of egos of Salmond and Gray. This is not just about who gets the keys to Bute House, but who will deliver for Scotland, and who will hold the balance of power after May.

"Without the Scottish Conservatives we would not have 1,000 more police, a freeze in Council Tax, tax cuts for our smallest businesses or a new national drugs strategy. We have delivered – and we will again."
