Scottish Conservatives seem to have nothing but name-calling left

Responding to reports that Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay has branded defector Graham Simpson a “snowflake” and accused him of an “act of treachery”, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP for the West of Scotland Jamie Greene said:

“I may not agree with Graham Simpson on much politically these days but the Conservatives would be better off asking themselves why they are shedding members, voters and parliamentarians to both the centre and the right, rather than resorting to bully boy behaviour and playground insults.

“This country needs politicians to look for common ground but the Scottish Conservatives seem to have nothing but name-calling left.

“The public are tired and fed up of arrogant establishment parties who have let them down time and time again. Scottish Liberal Democrats are focused on setting out a realistic and fiscally responsible plan to get things done, like delivering first-rate health care and getting Scotland moving again by fixing our roads, our ferries and our public transport.”
