Elections in West Edinburgh are always between the local Lib Dems and the SNP.

The Council elections in May are no different and the race to come first will be between the SNP and local Liberal Democrat Kevin Lang.

Last year, Alex Cole-Hamilton scored a major upset by beating the SNP and becoming our new local Member of the Scottish Parliament.  He said that only the Lib Dems could beat the SNP – the result proved him right.

It is clear that in this Council election, every Labour or Conservative first preference vote will help the SNP come top.

More and more Conservatives and Labour supporters are lending Kevin their first preference vote to stop the SNP.

Don’t let the SNP come first in May by voting Conservative or Labour.
