It's hard to imagine a more turbulent time, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
with the decision to split us from Europe, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
the threat of independence | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
and an education system and NHS struggling to cope, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
but there is hope. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
There is one political party | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
that is standing up for a fair, decent and tolerant Scotland - | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
the Scottish Liberal Democrats. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
We stand firmly and proudly for Scotland's place | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
in the United Kingdom | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
and our place in the European Union too. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
We must stand together with our neighbours | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
to boost our economy, maintain our security | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
and protect our environment. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
So we oppose plans to break up the United Kingdom | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
and we believe the British people should have the final say on Brexit | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
in a referendum, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
so that we can choose to stay in the EU | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
if the Conservative Brexit deal is damaging to our country. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
It's why we need to elect | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Liberal Democrat councillors across the country. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
We will invest to transform our education system and our NHS. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:15 | |
We want change and investment to create opportunity for everyone, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
no matter what their background. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Scotland used to have one of the best education systems in the world, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
but it is now just average. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
We want to invest in colleges, schools and nurseries | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
to get it back up to the best again. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
The NHS is under real pressure. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
For instance, mental health services need a step change | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
so that the million people who experience mental health problems | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
can get the help that they need. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
People want change. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
After all the division on independence and on Europe, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
the Liberal Democrats offer hope. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
It's why Liberal Democrats are winning again. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
It's why we won against the Conservatives in Richmond, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
the SNP in Inverness | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
and the Labour Party all across the country. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
We need champions for our communities, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
not cheerleaders for independence | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
or for a hard Conservative Brexit. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
We are winning because we are standing up for Scotland in the UK, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
the UK in Europe, and for a fair, decent and tolerant Scotland. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
So make sure you vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats | 0:02:29 | 0:02:35 | |
on May 4th. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 |
