On Monday 4th April, Scottish Conservative leader Annabel Goldie launched our manifesto for Scotland. In what was an excellent speech to party members and the press, Annabel highlighted the key points of our Common Sense policies that we want to take forward to make Scotland a better place to live.
Common Sense is the very heart of what we do both in the Scottish Parliament and elsewhere throughout the country. Indeed, the very policy implementations that have achieved in the last term of the Parliament have been driven by a Common Sense approach. 1,000 extra police officers on the streets of Scotland, being one such example. Of course in the run up to May 5th Alex Salmond and the SNP will try and fool the people of Scotland, failing to acknowledge that it was Scottish Conservative votes that were responsible for the delivery of those extra officers.A Council Tax freeze, again as a result of the Scottish Conservatives... the list really does go on. Whilst we are proud of the achievements of out MSPs in the last term, just think how much more we could achieve with more Conservative members!
In the next term of the Parliament we want to see:
A Council Tax freeze for all - for at least two years
A £200 Council Tax cut for pensioner households
Keeping 1,000 extra police to make Scotland safer
Scrapping automatic early release from jail
More health visitors for young families
Again, the list goes on... To see the Scottish Conservative Manifesto in full, go to :http://www.scottishconservatives.com/downloads/scottish-conservative-manifesto-2011.pdf
Of course the other main parties in this election will promise the electorate what they want to hear. However, only the Scottish Conservatives have been truly honest about how we'll pay for these pledges - Derek Brownlee, Conservative Finance Spokesman, launched a 50 page document outlining exactly how we'll pay for these.
Only the Scottish Conservatives have the credible plans for Scotland and I hope that you'll Vote Scottish Conservative on May 5th!
