LOWEST LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR LIBDEMS EVER
Commenting on the opinion poll in today’s [Wednesday 5 January] Independent newspaper - putting the Lib Dems at their lowest ever level of support since the party was founded in 1988, at just 11 per cent - the SNP’s Campaign Director Angus Robertson MP has put the decline of the LibDems down to their decision to prop up a Tory government at Westminster and says that ‘they should be right to be scared of the Scottish electorate come May’.
Westminster Leader and Campaign Director Angus Roberston said:
“The LibDems sold their soul by going into coalition with the Tories at Westminster and, in doing so, sold Scotland out.
“Their dramatic decline since May last year is a direct consequence of putting the Tories into power - a party clearly rejected by the people of Scotland - and they will face a reckoning north of the Border at the Holyrood elections come May.
“The people of Scotland did not vote for a Tory Government, however Danny Alexander and co have foisted that on us. The LibDems have no trust left, no respect and no future in Scotland.
“Only the SNP stand for a better Scotland, and we are confident our positive message will earn the trust of the people come May.”
