SNP CANDIDATE CHALLENGES LABOUR TO FIGHT A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN

SNP Candidate in Glasgow North East David Kerr today challenged Labour to
keep the campaign clean and positive to win back public trust in politics.

In a letter to Willie Bain after Labour finally agreed to set a date
for the campaign, following months of delay Mr Kerr urged Labour to fight a
positive campaign.

Mr Kerr said:

“The SNP campaign will focus on the positive difference the SNP has
already made in this constituency and the strong voice an SNP MP will give
this constituency after 74 years of Labour.

"In just two years of an SNP Government we have helped local business with
the small business bonus, frozen the council tax for families during the
recession, cut prescription charges, invested in further education, jobs
and training and cracked down on crime with more police on the streets.

“This election has come about because politicans lost the public's trust.
Labour's decision to delay the election for six months has not helped to
restore public confidence in the London Parliament.

"It’s time to rebuild that trust – with a positive campaign that supports
Glasgow North East and delivers the jobs and opportunties this community
needs."

“That is what I will be doing. I urge Labour to do the same.”
