Pro-UK voters can start Scotland's fightback against the SNP
The Scottish Conservatives have called on pro-UK voters to start Scotland's fightback against the SNP in the local council elections.
Speaking after completing a tour of every mainland council authority in Scotland during the local election campaign, Scottish Conservative Leader, Douglas Ross said that the SNP would be 'too distracted by their nationalist interests’ to deliver for local needs and priorities.
Ahead of the vote on Thursday, he said pro-UK voters must once again 'unite' in order to 'beat the SNP and deliver on local priorities'.
He urged Scots to vote for Scottish Conservative candidates as the only way to ‘lock out’ the SNP and keep local councils fully focused on local issues.
Scottish Conservative Leader, Douglas Ross said: “During this campaign, I've visited every mainland council area to listen to people's local priorities and hear what their community needs, from the people who live there and know best.
"This election is about improving local services, restoring local schools, cleaning up local streets, fixing local roads and investing in communities.
"But the SNP will always be too distracted by their nationalist interests to focus on what your local community needs.
"If pro-UK voters unite, just like last year, we can beat the SNP and deliver on those local priorities.
"We can start Scotland's fightback against the SNP and put your local community first.
"Vote Scottish Conservative and together we'll lock the SNP out of power."
