STRONG TEAM WILL LEAD INVITATION TO BE PART OF BETTER
The SNP today confirmed its candidates for the 2011 Scottish Parliament
election.
Finalising the strong team of candidates who will stand for the party in
constituencies across the country SNP Business Convener Bruce Crawford MSP
said:
“At this conference we have fired the starting gun for the campaign. We
are inviting people across Scotland to work with us to make Scotland
better and our strong team of candidates will be out across the country
listening to their views.
“In the first term of an SNP Government we have made real progress for
Scotland, reducing hospital waiting times, delivering thousands of
apprenticeships, and putting record numbers of police on the beat but we
know there is more to do.
“It is the SNP at this election that not only has a vision for Scotland’s
future and the team of people to deliver it, but is listening to the
public on their ideas to make Scotland better and making the case for the
financial powers and the powers of independence we need to combat the
dismal decade of cuts coming Scotland’s way.
“A second term SNP government - working with the people of Scotland - will
ensure that Scotland continues to move forward, that we can continue to
make our country better.”
