Allan in SNP re-elect call

SNP candidate for Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Alasdair Allan, has issued a final call for voters to back him and the SNP at Thursday’s elections to the Scottish Parliament.

Alasdair Allan commented: “Scotland has a real chance to vote on Thursday for a Scottish Government with the competence, the vision - and the First Minister - to take Scotland forward. Every indication is that people in Scotland are doing just that, but it’s the people who turn out on the day who will decide.

“It’s been a real honour to have served as the islands' MSP for the last nine years. This has been a long election campaign, and I have relished the chance to get round the doors meeting to people from the Butt to Barra."

He added: "Now it’s the voters who have their say. I hope people will vote for an SNP government that will bring superfast broadband to every island home, double free childcare, reform crofting law and increase the NHS revenue budget by £500 million more than inflation.

“So, on Thursday I ask people to use their constituency ballot to return me as local MSP, and to vote SNP on their regional list ballot paper, to ensure that Nicola Sturgeon becomes Scotland’s First Minister.”
