BALANCED PARLIAMENT OFFERS POTENTIAL FOR SCOTLAND

TORY WARNINGS DON’T RING TRUE IN SCOTLAND

The SNP today mocked the Conservatives panic over a balanced Parliament
pointing to the shorter recession in Scotland and the success of a
balanced Parliament in Scotland.

Commenting Angus Robertson, SNP Westminster leader said:

“David Cameron and George Osbourne have been in a blue funk for two weeks
as they have watched the electorate reject majority government by the
Westminster parties in favour of a parliament controlled by the people.

“This election is moving ever closer in Scotland’s direction and the Tory
panic simply proves the potential for Scotland to win concessions in a
balanced parliament.

“Scots voters know the potential of a balanced parliament to deliver for
their communities. Over the last three years the SNP has successfully
passed three budgets with support from different parties, and delivered
the beginnings of recovery from a recession that has been shorter in
Scotland than in England.

“Parties have worked together to promote and protect apprenticeship
places, tax bonuses for small businesses and more police on our streets.

"Scaremongering over a balanced parliament has a hollow ring in Scotland
and if Scots voters want to see the same success at Westminster the only
way to deliver a balanced parliament from Scotland is with a vote for
local and national champions with the SNP.”
