No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot next year.
Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Suicide Prevention Week is a reminder to stand together and treat mental health seriously.
Yet Reform dismiss it, showing no grasp of the reality families face.
Lib Dems will always lead the fight to treat mental health with the respect we do physical health.

If Trump really loves Scotland, why is he hammering Scotch whisky with tariffs?
With millions regularly enjoying Scotch on both sides of the Atlantic, it’s a bridge between the US and the UK - even in the midst of Trump’s trade war.
These unfair and damaging tariffs must go.

In the budget process the Scottish Liberal Democrats secured £1.4 million over two years for Corseford College which supports adults with complex and additional needs, pending the outcome of a review. I asked the further education minister for an update.

All carers - paid and unpaid, young and all deserve better, because they are too often forgotten and ignored.
It’s why our plans would see care workers properly rewarded, high quality care for everyone who needs it and unpaid carers given the fair deal they deserve.
