A message from Pauline McNeill
24th April 2003
Dear Elector,
In just a few days Scotland will go to the polls to elect a member of the Scottish Parliament and a local councillor. The choice is straight forward. Either they will choose to give Labour the chance to build upon what has been started; or they will vote to begin a process of separation which I believe would be deeply damaging for Scotland.
If re-elected, I will work for a radical and innovative second Labour term which places social justice, education and public services at the top of our agenda; for Scottish solutions to Scottish issues in a country which is devolved not divorced.
If you share this vision vote Labour on May 1st.
