Cole-Hamilton: Back the Liberal Democrats for a fair deal

On his final visit of the election campaign, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote for a strong local champion who will fight for a fair deal.

Alex visited the Scran Cafe run by Scran Academy, a catering social enterprise that gives young people training and work experience opportunities.

During the Covid pandemic, Alex volunteered with the Scran Academy, delivering more than 1,700 meals to those unable to leave their homes.

Mr Cole-Hamilton said:

"If you elect a Liberal Democrat, you will get a strong local champion focused on getting you fast access to GPs and dentists, and giving our nation's carers a fair deal. We will stop sewage being dumped in our rivers, insulate you from the cost of living crisis and lift up Scottish education.

"In huge swathes of Scotland the choice is between the nationalists and a Liberal Democrat local champion who will fight for a fair deal for you and your community.

"Throughout this campaign, I have met former SNP voters disillusioned with the scandals and their mishandling of public services. I have met Labour and Conservative voters who are backing the Liberal Democrats this time because they recognise that a handful of votes in key seats could make the difference.

"From Cupar to Cape Wrath, Milngavie to Mallaig, Cramond to Kirkwall, the Scottish Liberal Democrats have beaten the SNP before and we can do it again.

"If you've had enough of being let down and taken for granted, then the choice is clear: another five years of chaos with the SNP and Conservatives or a Liberal Democrat local champion fighting for a fair deal."
