SNP obsession over Indyref2 sidelines Scotland's local issues.

The SNP’s national manifesto for the local elections states that the party’s councillors will “support the Scottish Government’s plan to give the people of Scotland the opportunity to choose the country’s future in an independence referendum in the first half of this parliamentary term”. (p7)


Pamela Nash, chief executive of Scotland in Union, said:


“This confirms that every SNP councillor elected will spend valuable time trying to further Nicola Sturgeon’s ambition to divide us once again, instead of improving local public services.


“They will be campaigning for an unwanted referendum as early as next year rather than standing up for local communities in the face of SNP cuts.


“We need more local champions who focus on what really matters to people, not cheerleaders for Nicola Sturgeon.”

A reminder that Scotland had the worst deaths from

Covid in care homes. I’ll grant you though that Scotland is a world leader in drug abuse and deaths .

once Gain the SNP government supported by unelected Greens abuse tax payers money by appointing civil servants to prepare for independence and also open so called ambassador offices abroad. No wonder we are the highest taxed area in the UK

Your level of blinkered ignorance shows no bounds. Where would we have been without vaccines, furlough scheme etc. while your at it Scotland no longer has a viable financial sector. All head offices are down in your hated England thanks to your incompetent SNP government.

Anybody who thinks Scotland is a viable nation on its own has no idea about economics . The SNP certainly know how to spend and waste our money .It would need a Volume the length of War and Peace to list their failures . They are full of incompetents incapable of running a bath never mind a country.

An Independent Scotland could not afford the current spending on the NHS without significant increases in taxation . Remember we are already the highest taxed area of the UK.
