The SNP is urging voters to give both votes to the SNP tomorrow, following the TNS-BRMB opinion poll which shows the Nationalists with a fighting chance of winning a second term in government.
The party will launch an online polling day initiative to drive home the message that it has to be “both votes SNP” including:
- Advertising “both votes SNP” on Facebook
- Online videos from Elaine C Smith www.votesnp.com/bothvotes
- A video for Gaelic voters by Phil MacHugh and a video in sign language for deaf supporters
- Pictures, blog posts and videos of the SNP team as they campaign up to the wire for both votes SNP
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “This final poll indicates that people want to re-elect the SNP Government and Alex Salmond for First Minister because they want to achieve the five-year Council Tax freeze, protection for Scotland’s health budget, and retention of the 1,000 additional police officers that the SNP have delivered.
“And if people want to re-elect the SNP Government and secure these vital policies, they must vote SNP on both the constituency and list ballot – it has to be ‘both votes SNP’ on Thursday.
“On the doorstep, online and in the media we will be taking every opportunity to ensure Scotland’s voters re-elect an SNP Government with both votes. Tomorrow it has to be both votes SNP for a five-year Council Tax freeze and Alex Salmond for First Minister.”
