DEBATE PROVES WHY SCOTLAND NEEDS CHAMPIONS

DEBATE PROVES WHY SCOTLAND NEEDS CHAMPIONS

LEADERS FAIL TO MENTION SCOTLAND ONCE

Commenting on the Leaders’ Debates which took place tonight, SNP
Leader Alex Salmond said:

“All the debate confirmed was that the London parties plan deep cuts to
Scotland’s budget and public services. That’s why Scotland needs local and
national champions in the House of Commons to break through this cosy
Westminster consensus and win a better deal for Scotland.

“Over half the debate should have been captioned ‘Except for viewers in
Scotland’.

“It was billed as a historic event but we got was three Westminster
politicians looking the same, sounding the same and saying nothing of
relevance to Scotland.

“From Wick to Whitburn, viewers would be turned off by television which
simply didn’t address the issues which matter to them.”
