LABOUR CAN’T WIN IN SCOTLAND – ONLY A VOTE FOR SNP WILL PROTECT SCOTLAND FROM TORY CUTS

Polls from YouGov and Kantar have shown that only a vote for the SNP can keep the Tories out in Scotland – and a vote for Labour simply risks letting in Tory MPs by the backdoor.

The YouGov poll also shows Nicola Sturgeon as the most popular leader in Scotland, with 49% of voters having a positive opinion of the First Minister, compared to only 30% for Theresa May.

The figures make it clear that only by voting for the SNP on Thursday can voters across Scotland stand in the way of the Tories, and help scupper Theresa May’s plans for a majority.

Commenting, Na h-Eileanan an Iar’s SNP Angus Brendan MacNeil, said:

“These latest polls show the SNP in a strong position as we enter the final days of the campaign, looking set to win a resounding victory in Scotland.

“But we take absolutely nothing for granted and will keep working hard to make the case that only SNP MPs will stand up for Scotland.

“The polls also make it absolutely clear that only a vote for the SNP can keep the Tories out.

“Labour can’t win the election in Scotland – and a vote for them simply risks letting a Tory MP in through the back door.

“In two days’ time, voters across Scotland have an opportunity to stand up for Scotland’s schools, hospitals, public services, pensioners and jobs by rejecting the Tories’ extreme and dangerous plans.

“Now more than ever, it is vital to have strong SNP voices standing up for Scotland at Westminster.”
