I’m pleased and proud to announce that in a historic moment, none other than our very own deputy leader Stef Johnstone will be our first candidate to run in a UK general election.
Stef will stand in the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency and I hope as many of you will turn out to support her as possible on and before December 12th.
Stef has been a stalwart member and supporter of the party for many years, and does much work behind the scenes as well as centre stage.
Some of you may wonder why we are only standing in one constituency. I take the view that this is very much a one issue election, and that the delivery of Brexit is the ultimate aim. In view of this I think it’s better to preserve party funds and efforts for the Scottish Elections in 2021 where we hope to field candidates in every region as well as a few select constituencies.
For those unable to vote for our own candidate. Please consider voting for the candidate most likely to deliver Brexit as mandated in the referendum regardless of political affiliation.
Congratulations to Stef on her candidacy and I wish her the best of success!
Tam Laird
Party Leader
