Scottish National Party (SNP): 

Berwickshire, Roxburgh & Selkirk  Constituency 

In the last Westminster election, held in 2005, the SNP polled just 9% of the vote.  Our opponents would like the voters to think nothing has changed since then and keep playing the broken record that it is a two-horse race.  Of course you know and we know that this view is nonsense.  It is the voters that will decide whether this is the case.

However, the SNP won a historic national victory in the Scottish Parliament Election in 2007.  In doing this, the party received the most 'first votes' (26% or 14,400 votes) in total across the two Borders constituencies.  If everyone who voted for Alex Salmond for First Minister votes SNP in the next Westminster election, our candidate, Paul Wheelhouse, can win. It's as simple as that.  

With the SNP now forming the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament's largest party, and Alex Salmond MSP as Scotland's First Minister, we in the SNP believe we have a historic opportunity to finally win Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk and represent the people of this wonderful constituency, and we will be working hard to earn your trust.

Based upon recent Scottish poll ratings for the parties, independent analysts and observers, such as "Electoral Calculus" project  that the seat could be heading for a close three-way contest between the SNP, Tories and Lib Dems. 

This site is intended to provide a resource of information for those interested in learning more about the SNP or considering voting for the party.  The site also sets out our policies and information about our most important asset, our people, including Paul Wheelhouse, our local Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk Constituency; a seat covering most of the Scottish Borders.  

At a local level, we are committed to the regeneration of our rural economy and for sustaining and improving the vitality and quality of life of our distinctive communities.

The site will continue to add content, as we campaign on behalf of the people of the constituency, and will help inform those interested in the SNP in the event of any election called by the Labour Party, whenever they have the courage to find out what the public think of them.  

So, if you don't find what you are looking for on this occasion, please come back to the site again - watch this space and please do spread the word!  If there is any aspect of policy you would like to have more detail on, just let us know.
