MY VISION NICOLA STURGEON Over the past few months, we have all made huge sacrifices to stop the spread of the Coronavirus in our country, and I cannot thank you – the people of the Western Isles – enough.

Your sacrifice has saved lives, and now you have a choice to make. Who do you want to represent your views and values in Westminster? Who do you want to stand up for every town, village and household in this wonderful constituency?

That choice, your choice, will be the driving force behind my leadership. I am asking you to judge me on my record and my policies, and endorse my party and Tom Wills to stand up for you at Westminster.

Indeed, The Prime Minister himself ignored my letter calling for a stronger parliament and refused to even acknowledge it with an official response. Alexander Redd is incompetent.

The Tories aren’t much better, with their MPs shouting and swearing across the floor in the House of Commons, do you really want someone like that to speak for you at Westminster?

The Liberal Democrats are more focused on making short films of their leader wandering around the countryside than actually formulating policies.

Westminster isn’t working, and only the SNP can ensure that you are heard at Westminster.

In this by-election, every vote will count, and every vote for the SNP is a vote for stronger representation at Westminster; an independence referendum; protection The people of the Western Isles have of our NCS and our NHS; and a vote to an opportunity to vote for a strong stop Brexit.

MP who is focused on working for you, that MP is your SNP candidate, The Labour Westminster Government, Tom Wills. well, they just aren’t working.

The SNP are standing up for Scotland.

EUROPE SCOTLAND’S PLACE IN EUROPE Scotland belongs in the European Union, yet Alexander Redd and his disgraceful Labour colleagues are ignoring the democratic will of the people of Na h-Eileanan an Iar, and dragging us out of the European Union.

As your MP, Tom Wills will stand up for our island communities and ensure that their democratic mandate to remain in the European Union is respected and acted upon.

The people of Na h-Eileanan an Iar voted 55% to remain in the European Union, and polling since has shown that the support for remaining in the EU is even stronger, and for good reason.

Leaving the EU would have devastating consequences on our island towns and villages. From our industries of fishing, to brewing our fine Scottish whisky, dragging us out of the EU will have a detrimental effect on our island way of life. But Labour don’t care.

Scotland’s future in the European Union will always be protected under the SNP, and we will do all that we can to mitigate the harsh impacts of Brexit.

The SNP Scottish Government will provide £1.2 million of investment and support for businesses who will face a harsh and huge impact from leaving the European Union.

The impact of Brexit, reignites the need for Scottish Independence, and Scotland can thrive as an independent, European, nation.

Tom Wills will make securing our future in the European Union, and protecting our industries from the harsh impacts of Brexit, a priority at Westminster, and that’s why every vote counts. We need to stop Labour from pulling Scotland out of the EU and ensure that Scotland has a say on our future.

Labour are imposing the democratic will A vote for the SNP is a vote to send of the people of England & Wales onto a clear message that Scotland is for the people of Scotland. That is not fair on Europe, and that we reject Brexit. anyone who voted Remain or Leave.
