Liberal Democrats leader sets out election goal for Scotland

The Liberal Democrats have designed football shirts to highlight the 11 seats in Scotland it is seeking to hold in the General Election.

Scottish leader Willie Rennie said the General Election was “well into the second half”, and with no clear result predicted he called on voters to give his party a decisive voice in Westminster.

Speaking to a team of footballers at the World of Football in Edinburgh, where each of the 11 footballers wore a specially-made shirt highlighting a Lib Dem held seat, Mr Rennie said: “Neither Labour nor the Conservatives will win a majority of seats at Westminster.

“With the General Election campaign well into the second half, voters in each of our 11 held seats face a clear decision – who do you want to influence government?

“The choice is between a stable coalition with Liberal Democrats which delivers an £800 million boost for Scotland’s NHS and balances the books fairly.

“Or the SNP’s plans to borrow even more than Labour as they put the country into further uncertainty with their second referendum plans.

“I am confident that when we put forward this positive offer to build a stronger economy and a fairer society, people will choose to back our Lib Dem candidate in each of our 11 held seats.

“That is the only way to stop the SNP.

“We are the choice for staying on the path to recovery.”
