Our commitment to you: • Scotland needs a strong opposition to take on the SNP. • We need to put the independence referendum behind us - and stop the SNP trying to drag the country backwards. This manifesto is our plan on how we will achieve that – so we get the better government we deserve. Here’s how we’ll do that.
THE SCOTTISH CONSERVATIVE AND UNIONIST PARTY MANIFESTO 2016 Saying no to a second referendum To get better government, Scotland needs a strong opposition which will stand up against the SNP’s drive for independence. Ruth Davidson and her strong Scottish Conservative team have one over-riding priority in this election: to speak up for everyone who wants Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, and say NO to a second referendum. That task is ever more necessary. The SNP is on course to win a third term in office – and has already said it plans to start a fresh campaign for independence this summer. Alone among the pro-UK parties, we are 100% behind Scotland’s place in the United Kingdom. A strong Conservative opposition at Holyrood will campaign every day to make sure our decision in 2014 is respected. The Facts 1 The SNP are on course to win this election. And the First Minister has said she will launch a new drive for independence this summer, instead of focusing on being a better government. So the crucial decision for voters at this election is who can lead a strong opposition to hold the SNP to account. 2 Labour are in a mess. Labour are not up to the job of holding the SNP to account. Labour have taken Scotland for granted for far too long. Riddled by infighting and incompetence and undermined by weak leadership they cannot provide the strong opposition Scotland needs. 3 Labour and the Liberal Democrats will allow their MSPs to campaign for independence. And now the Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, has told us she could vote for independence herself. That means they can’t possibly hold the SNP to account and keep them in check. 4 The only way to secure a strong opposition which holds the SNP to account, say NO to a second referendum and ensure we get better government is to vote for Ruth Davidson’s Scottish Conservatives. 6 HOLDING THE SNP TO ACCOUNT
