- Election policy statement:
- Isn’t it time that Scotland got a better deal? From our run down schools and hospitals, to our farmers facing ruin; from our over-burdened small businesses to our young people with no hope, no job and no decent place to live.
We in the SNP say enough is enough. Now is the time to make a real change in the future development of our country.
In Stirling Constituency, as in Scotland as a whole, this election is a two horse race between the SNP and London Labour. If the Tories were serious, why did Michael Forsyth not stand as their candidate? Opinion poll evidence as to current voting intentions: the Tories are out of the running.

Vision for Scotland
As a Scot who has spent ten years working abroad, I for one am not taken in by those who try to tell us that we in Scotland are too small to run our own affairs. Try telling that to the Danes, the Irish and the Norwegians! The only resource that Scotland has lacked to date has been self-confidence. But these are historic times and I believe that the people of Scotland are now ready to put Scotland back on the map.
