End this one party state

Speaking on the eve of the Westminster by-election in Livingston, Gordon Lindhurst said:

"We have been living in a one party state here for too long. Labour have had their chance, in Westminster, Holyrood and in local government. They have failed. We must look to the future, not to the past.

"Local issues of real concern have not been addressed. There are real worries in our community that Labour and the Lib Dems will remove more vital services from St John’s and force people to go to Edinburgh. The issue of bail can not be dealt with effectively by the Scottish Executive as the Human Rights Act is a Westminster issue.

"If elected, I will take on these issues and more so I can fight to get a better deal for everyone in this constituency."
