SNP Depute Leader Nicola Sturgeon will join John Mason, the party’s
candidate in Glasgow East today (Saturday) as they take the message to
voters don’t just vote for a politician, elect a local champion.

The two will highlight the SNP’s pledges of jobs and growth, to cut
trident, to protect local services and to deliver a higher pension for our
elderly.

Ms Sturgeon will say;

“For voters in Scotland this election is about who will champion and
protect Scotland’s interests through tough times ahead.

“The last 5 days of this campaign are not about the air war on our TV
stations but about the ground war in constituencies across the country.

“The SNP has activists on the ground across the country who will be taking
our message, that it is local champions from the SNP in Westminster who
will put Scotland first, to doorsteps across the country.

“At the heart of our plans for the next Parliament are boosting jobs and
growth, arguing for an end to trident, fighting against cuts to protect
local services and increasing the pension in line with earnings to give a
£100 million boost to our elderly.

“In the last five days there is a key message to voters in Scotland, don't
just vote for a politician, elect a local champion.
