At the Scottish Parliament elections on May 5th, we face a big choice. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:08 | |
Do we go back to the divisions of the last few years, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
to the possibility of another referendum on independence? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Or do we get the country focused back onto what really matters? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Many people who voted to stay part of the UK | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
now just want the country to move on. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
What I want is for all of us to feel like one again, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
and work towards a greater goal, which isn't just about me, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
it's about every single person that chooses to live here. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
The trouble is, if they win in May, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
the SNP has said it will kick-start a new drive for independence. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
And Labour and the Lib Dems say | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
they'll let their candidates and supporters back independence. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
So how can they keep the SNP focused on running the country? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
Hello, my name's Ruth. I'm leader of the Scottish Conservatives. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-Hi. -Good to meet you. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
Many people are now looking to Ruth Davidson | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
to provide the strong opposition our country needs. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
And, perhaps for the first time, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
they're looking to the Scottish Conservatives, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
the one party which can be trusted to stand up for the UK. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
I know the likes of Ruth Davidson - she's making a big stand for it. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
And I know you can trust her word. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
She will stand up for Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
and that's why, from now on, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
I will definitely be voting Scottish Conservative. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Ruth's commitment at this election | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
is to be a strong opposition which holds the SNP to account. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
It's to ensure we get better government, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
not a return to division with a second referendum. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Labour hasn't laid a glove on the SNP in nine years. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
I just can't see Labour taking them on. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
But I can see me doing it. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
And, with that, we'll all benefit, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
by getting out government focused on your school, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
your hospital, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
and growing jobs. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
I won't let the SNP focus on a second referendum, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
when they should be focusing on being a better government. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
The bottom line is, I'm up for the job. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Holding the SNP to account, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
focusing the government on what matters, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
no to a second referendum - | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
the Scottish Conservatives will stick by that. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
That's the choice we offer. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
You vote for me, and that's a promise. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
A strong opposition, a stronger Scotland. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Together, we can do this. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Together, we can build a better Scotland. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 |
