Scotland’s future in scotland’s hands - not boris johnson’s

The Scottish Parliament election on May 6 will be the most important in Scotland’s history. Our country stands at a crossroads, and THIS ELECTION WILL DETERMINE WHICH PATH SCOTLAND CHOOSES.

SCOTLAND’S FUTURE, SCOTLAND’S CHOICE Are we willing to give Boris Johnson a free hand to do whatever he likes to Scotland? More right-wing Tory governments that Scotland rejected for over 60

years, imposed on us regardless? Or should we take Scotland’s future into our Scotland’s hands, so that the people who live here can shape the kind of country we want to be? > 📣

February 24, 2021 WESTMINSTER DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BLOCK SCOTTISH DEMOCRACY If the SNP wins this election, Boris Johnson or any other Westminster politician, will not have any right to

block the democratic wishes of the Scottish people. Boris Johnson knows he cannot stand in the way of democracy, just as his pal Donald Trump could not. The election on May 6 is our

historic opportunity to send Westminster a message they won’t be able to ignore. THE TORIES KNOW A REFERENDUM IS ON THE CARDS – THEY’RE ALREADY GEARING UP FOR IT It’s beyond any doubt the

Tories are preparing for an independence referendum, after reports of Boris Johnson hiring up to 50 taxpayer-funded advisers for his anti-independence campaign unit. > 🔎 @KeithBrownSNP

Downing Street briefings showed the UK government is spending millions and millions of taxpayers’ money on combatting the majority view of the people of Scotland. The “Union Unit” itself is

splashing at least £2 million on salaries, while the Scotland Office communications budget has tripled to over £1.3 million. DO WE SIMPLY ACCEPT THE EXTREME BREXIT IMPOSED ON US BY BORIS

JOHNSON? Throughout the Brexit process, Scotland’s overwhelming vote to remain in the EU was completely ignored by Westminster. Just like with Tory governments we rejected at the ballot box,

we’re now having to pay the price of a Tory Brexit we never voted for. > 🔎 The Scottish Tories made a lot of promises. Now, they > emphatically back Boris Johnson’s extreme Brexit

policy and all levers at our disposal – as well as access to a market seven times the size of the UK. Senior EU figures, including former European Council President Donald Tusk, said the EU

would enthusiastically welcome Scotland after independence. > Donald Tusk: The EU ❤️ Scotland https://t.co/E75VjoHX65 >  > — POLITICOEurope (@POLITICOEurope) February 2, 2020 A

MAJORITY IN SCOTLAND BACKS INDEPENDENCE – BUT THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN WITH AN SNP GOVERNMENT 22 polls in a row reveal that the majority of the people in Scotland now consistently back Scottish

independence. Since January 2020, 24 out of 27 polls had Yes in the lead. > 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Across Scotland, minds are shifting > from #NoToYes. >  > 📣 “The UK Parliament is completely

for Scotland and we can do better with independence. However, that can only happen with an SNP government. MAKE IT #BOTHVOTESSNP FOR #INDYREF2 This election is our historic opportunity to

secure a post-pandemic independence referendum – so on May 6, let’s make it Both Votes SNP to turn it into reality. The smaller the gap between the SNP constituency vote and list vote, the

more likely we are to win a decisive pro-independence majority and secure Scotland’s right to choose. > 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Make it #BothVotesSNP for #IndyRef2. >  > 🔎 In 2016, the SNP
