If you want independence, we need to do what worked in 2011, give both votes to the SNP. Winning a few extra pro-independence MSPs by splitting the vote won’t deliver a majority government, which is essential to carry a mandate for a referendum, just like in 2011.

At the SNP conference, the WASPI campaign women recounted the long battle they have endured for pension justice with successive UK Government’s. Heart wrenching stuff.

I know all about D'Hondt.
If the same % people who voted SNP 1 & 2 in 2011 had done the same in 2021, we would have had a majority, of 65. We won 64. That one MSP would've made the difference. We could've had our 2nd referendum by now. The SNP need List MSPs too.

Since 2014, we've been forced to live through the worst of Westminster - Brexit, Boris, Truss, and no change with Labour.

Only independence offers a fresh start for Scotland.

Yes. Screw the 70000 jobs and ignore any industry that requests ScotGov help when the U.K. Government fails to act. That’ll boost our economy.

National security orders. When did the Scottish Government get powers to block those Home Office memos. Hilarious

We’re here to build a better future for the people who live here - an independent Scotland.

Fantastic energy at #SNP25 this morning and it’s great to meet members from up and down our beautiful country.

How can the Scottish Government block national security orders & inter-U.K. applied arrest powers - the Terrorism Act is U.K. wide.

More money in your pocket, more opportunities, fewer emissions.

I’m proud we introduced free bus travel for young people under 22 - and as of today, over 250 million free journeys have been made across Scotland.

Together with scrapping peak rail fares, we’re making your commutes cheaper.

Westminster wants Scotland to accept nuclear power stations for the same reason they site their Trident WMDs here: because they are safely far away from their core voters in the SE of England.

Andrew Sharpe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 @andrew.sharpe.scot · 9d

Ed Miliband has confirmed that a vote for Anas Sarwar to be first minister is a vote for nuclear power stations in Scotland

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland already more than meets its own annual demand through renewable energy - we don’t need dangerous and dirty nuclear energy.

That will be the Labour Party that decided to expose all NHS General Practitioners & Dental Practices to a hike in employer national insurance contributions last year and refuses to fund PFI building lease bailouts.
