Cole-Hamilton: SNP can’t fix broken politics because they are part of the problem

Speaking ahead of the First Minister launching yet another independence paper on Monday, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“The SNP are completely out of touch. Deploying more civil servants, money and time into independence is an insult to everyone waiting for help with the cost of living crisis, on lifeline ferries or for critical operations and treatments.

“We need to fix our broken politics and restore integrity, but the SNP are part of the problem not the solution.

“Scottish Liberal Democrats would introduce a fair voting system, end the unelected House of Lords, and establish foolproof systems to see the Scottish and UK Governments working together in all our interests instead of always hunting for friction and sowing grievance.

“With the SNP in apparent free fall there is an opportunity to make devolution work as it should, and Scottish Liberal Democrats will be part of what’s next.”
