Liz and Murdo slam Sturgeon for calling for indyref re-run
Mid-Scotland and Fife MSPs Murdo Fraser and Liz Smith have slammed the First Minister following her announcement today seeking another independence referendum.
Liz Smith MSP said:
“Voters across Mid-Scotland and Fife rejected separation in 2014 and I have little doubt that opinion has changed.
“Today’s announcement from the First Minister represents a broken promise to the people of Scotland when she repeatedly said the 2014 vote was a ‘once in a generation’ event.
“Nicola Sturgeon has today chosen the path of further division and further uncertainty. Far from trying to seek a compromise and standing up for Scotland, as the First Minister claims she has been doing, the SNP have been doing everything they can to further their obsession with separation.”
Murdo Fraser MSP said:
“Leaving the EU will present challenges for Scotland, but none of these challenges are tackled by dragging Scotland out of the United Kingdom and a market worth four times as much as that of the EU.
“Scots don’t want this referendum, instead they want the SNP Government to be focusing on improving our schools, hospitals and roads.
“When the Nicola Sturgeon brings these proposals to Parliament I will, without hesitation, vote against her appeal to break up the United Kingdom.”
