Put Scotland First - and back the Scottish Conservatives this May

Let's make absolutely no mistake - The Scottish Conservatives are delivering for Scotland.

Because of us, there are over 1,000 extra police on the streets.

Because of us there is a council tax freeze.

Because of us our smallest businesses got a major local tax break.



Because of us there is a new national drugs strategy.

Because of us more help was given to care for the elderly.

Our effectiveness has been acknowledged. At First Minister’s Question Time on 13th January, Alex Salmond said: “I am perfectly happy to acknowledge the Conservative party's support, which was essential in delivering the 1,000 extra police officers.”

Because we are optimistic about the future – we are realistic about the present. So we will tell it like it is - no waffle, just straight talking. We will offer the people of Scotland a real choice in May - more practical and sensible solutions for Scotland.

Once again we shall be pivotal in Scottish politics. Because being asked to choose between Labour and the SNP isn’t a choice - it’s a dilemma.

Over the last four years in the Scottish Parliament we’re the party that’s made the difference – we’re the party that’s delivered for Scotland.

Labour brought us to the brink of bankruptcy. They doubled the national debt and left us with the biggest budget deficit in our peacetime history. We are spending £120 million every single day just to pay off the interest on Labour's debt. That is Labour's legacy.

Labour left the cupboard bare, Labour left the country spent up, Labour left our public services in crisis.

If we don't take steps now to live within our means we'll end up paying higher taxes and face deeper cuts just to pay off our debt. Labour's approach would mean less growth, less investment and fewer jobs.
Alex Salmond and the SNP promised voters the earth to get elected 4 years ago – and have since left a trail of broken promises littering Scotland.

What they did do well was to deliver Conservative policies - because the Scottish Conservatives forced them to do that!

They plan to spend this election fighting for separation – but that was yesterday’s battle, and they lost it. That’s not putting Scotland first – its putting narrow nationalism first.

So, on May 5th the message is clear. Vote Brown for Uddingston & Bellshill and Vote Scottish Conservatives to elect more Conservative List MSPs to continue to deliver for Scotland.
