Use your vote, Mhairi urges young people

Mhairi Black is urging young people to use their voice in Thursday’s election.

The politician who is seeking reelection as MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South claims a vote for the Scottish Nationalist Party is a vote to stand up for young people against the Tories.

Ms Black said a vote for the SNP is a vote for a strong team of MPs who’ll stand up for young people – calling for a fair and equal minimum wage, protecting rights in the workplace and votes at 16 in all elections.

She explained:“The SNP are already delivering for Scotland’s young people, delivering free university education and with youth unemployment at the lowest level on record – while the Tory vision is just cut after cut.

“The Tories think they can do anything they want to young people and get away with it – from hiking tuition fees to slashing housing benefit for youngsters and much more.

“That’s why it’s so important that they turn up and vote – don’t let the Tory government leave you behind.

“Any Tory MPs elected in Scotland will simply rubber-stamp whatever the Tory government does to young people, and Labour can’t win this election in Scotland – meaning that voting Labour risks letting Tory MPs in by the back door.

“Now more than ever, it is vital to have strong SNP voices standing up for Scotland.

“Only then can we protect everyone from the dangers of an unopposed Tory government at Westminster.”
