GLASGOW SNP COUNCILLOR BACKS ALBA ON THE LIST
“VOTING ALBA ON THE LIST IS THE BEST WAY TO INCREASE PRO INDEPENDENCE REPRESENTATION”
A Senior SNP Councillor in Glasgow has pledged his support to ALBA on the regional list stating that a list vote for the SNP is “wasted” because the party won’t win any regional seats because of their strength in constituencies.
Councillor John Letford’s support for ALBA on the list was welcomed by ALBA Party Leader and Former First Minister Alex Salmond who joined the Glasgow Councillor and other Glasgow candidates in a campaign session in Glasgow this evening.
Campaigning alongside Cllr Letford Mr Salmond said:
“Across Scotland nearly one million SNP list votes were wasted last time round. Next week we have the opportunity to elect a Supermajority for independence if independence supporters follow John Letford’s example by putting country before party. By backing the SNP in your Constituency and ALBA on the list, the people of Scotland can help ensure the case for Scottish independence is progressed with urgency."
Letford has served as an SNP representative in Glasgow since he was first elected in 2012 to serve the Maryhill area. He previously had a role at the heart of the SNP administration on Glasgow City Council, serving as business manager to the SNP administration. The Maryhill Councillor says that this election is vital to the future of Scotland and that for him country must come before party as he urged independence supporters to “back their SNP Constituency candidate and give their list vote to ALBA to help elect a Supermajority for independence”.
