With Labour drifting to 3rd place in some polls, the choice at the next Scottish Parliament election will be between a progressive SNP Government or the populist right of Nigel Farage.

Let’s keep Edinburgh and Scotland Farage-free. #VoteSNP.

Don’t choose Labour’s betrayal or Farage’s fear and loathing - Angus Robertson Polling ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election suggests that the race is increasingly a showdown between the Scottish National Party and Reform UK.

Across every level of government, Labour has betrayed its social conscience. It’s no wonder Labour have drifted behind Farage’s far-right outfit. The SNP is the only party to fight for progressive outward vision for Scotland. #voteSNP www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
